What is on the PMP: People, Process and Business Environment
The July 2026 outline has three domains. Business Environment grew the most:
| Domain | Share since July 2026 | Before July 2026 | On MyLevel (per test) |
|---|---|---|---|
| People | 33% | 42% | 20 questions |
| Process | 41% | 50% | 25 questions |
| Business Environment | 26% | 8% | 15 questions |
- People (8 tasks): develop a common vision, manage conflicts, lead the project team, engage stakeholders, align and manage stakeholder expectations, help ensure knowledge transfer, plan and manage communication.
- Process (10 tasks): integrated plan and delivery, scope, value-based delivery, resources, procurement, finance, quality (including sustainability), schedule, project status and closure.
- Business Environment (8 tasks): governance, compliance, managing and controlling changes, removing impediments and managing issues, risk, continuous improvement, organizational change and changes in the external business environment.

What you practise on MyLevel
Every MyLevel question is an original scenario question written on the tasks of the official outline, with one best answer, three wrong ones and a short explanation of why. The two full tests have 60 questions in 80 minutes each: MyLevel's own length, at the real exam's pace (240 minutes for 180 questions = 80 seconds per question), split like the outline (20 People, 25 Process, 15 Business Environment) and like its approach mix (24 predictive, 24 agile and 12 hybrid scenarios). Every calculation (CPI, SPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, TCPI, PERT, critical path and float, expected monetary value, velocity and cycle-time forecasts) was re-solved by script. After each test you see your score per domain, so you know where to study.
MyLevel questions are single-answer. The real exam also uses multiple-response, matching and graphic-based items, which MyLevel does not copy. PMI sells its own PMP prep, PMI Study Hall, as a subscription. MyLevel is a different, independent product: 2 timed PMP practice tests for $9.99, a one-time payment with no subscription and no time limit, which also unlocks every other MyLevel job test.
Eligibility, retakes and how to study for the PMP
Eligibility: project management experience from the last 10 years (5 years with a high school diploma, 4 with an associate's degree or vocational diploma, 3 with a bachelor's degree or higher, 2 with a degree from a PMI Global Accreditation Center program), plus 35 hours of project management training or an active CAPM. From 1 December 2026, live training counts only when given by a PMI Authorized Training Partner, a China Registered Education Provider or an eligible accredited academic program; self-paced courses can come from any provider, and training finished before 1 December 2026 still counts. If you fail: you may try up to three times within your one-year eligibility period; after a third fail you wait one year from your last exam to reapply (pmi.org, checked 26 October 2026).
- Think like a servant leader: in People questions, the best answer usually deals with the cause together with the people involved before escalating.
- Follow the process: changes go through change control (predictive) or the product backlog (agile); identified risks use the contingency reserve, unidentified ones get a workaround.
- Learn the math by heart: CPI = EV / AC, SPI = EV / PV, EAC = BAC / CPI, ETC = EAC - AC, VAC = BAC - EAC, TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC), PERT = (O + 4M + P) / 6, channels = n(n - 1) / 2.
- Train under time: take a full MyLevel test, read the explanation of every miss, study your weakest domain and retake. Aim for 70% or more in every domain, and 80% for a margin.
MyLevel is independent and not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMP, Project Management Professional, CAPM and PMI are marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc. All questions are original practice questions written by MyLevel on the tasks of the published Examination Content Outline, not real PMP exam questions, and a practice score is not a PMP result or certification.
Sample question with explanation
An agile team has waited a week for another department's security approval, and two stories are blocked. What should the scrum master do?
- Work with the security department to remove the blocker
- Wait for the next sprint to see whether the other department solves it by itself
- Tell the team to skip the security review
- Ask the developers to escalate it themselves
Show the answer
Answer: A. Work with the security department to remove the blocker
Removing impediments the team cannot solve alone is a core servant-leader task.

PMI does not publish a passing score or pass rate on its PMP page, content outline or certification handbook (checked October 2026). On MyLevel, aim for at least 70% in every domain and 80% for a safe margin; this is our own practice target, not a PMI figure.
