CAPM exam will have 150 questions to be answered in 3 hours (180 minutes).PMI few years back announced certain percentage as a passing criteria. But later on they changed and made it tougher to pass CAPM. And while doing so, they stopped announcing the passing criteria. Now with our experience, our assumption is that it is somewhere between 70 – 75%. Also, they have started to evaluate based on many other factors too. Eg. Evaluating individual Process Group wise.

So if you are scoring anywhere above 75% in our mock exams consistently, you hold a good chance to clear the CAPM exam.

Total effort needed to get CAPM certified varies anywhere between 100 to 250 hours. It really depends upon an individual. Based on his experience, exposure, grasping ability, commitment etc. We go with a 3x3 formulae. 3 hours every day will need 3 months at the most to crack CAPM. But with that said, we had examples where candidate have done it in less than a month and other extreme where candidates have taken about a year.
