Money and Your Exam

These exams aren’t free, and you don’t want to waste your hard-earned cash by failing the exam. Focus on passing the exam on your first shot. But just in case some of your colleagues ask, I’ve included the retake fees. You can, and should, confirm the costs I’ve listed here with PMI through their web site. They’ve changed fees in the past, and you don’t want your exam fees to dig into your beer and pizza cash:

• Join PMI: $119 (join PMI first, as it lowers your exam fee by a few bucks)

• PMP exam for a PMI member: $405

• PMP exam for a non-PMI member: $555

• PMP re-exam for a PMI member: $275

• PMP re-exam for a non-PMI member: $375

• CAPM exam for a PMI member: $225

• CAPM exam for a non-PMI member: $300

• CAPM re-exam for a PMI member: $150

• CAPM re-exam for a non-PMI member: $200
