I passed my PMI-ACP exam in September 2025 with 3 domains above target and 1 domain on target. I took the exam in a Pearson VUE testing centre. Here I would like to share something about my exam experience.
First, I kept finding my pace of answering lagged behind what I expected before taking the exam (e.g. answer 20 questions within 30 minutes). I did spend more time in reading or solving some of the questions at the beginning.
With around 30-40 questions remaining, I figured out I would have less than 1 minute for 1 questions. Finally, I could only speed up my answering pace and have all the questions answered in the last minute without the time to reviewing any previous marked questions at all. So, please be reminded to be aware of your pace, and not to spend more than 1.5 or 2 minutes on a question even you are not sure the correct answer because I think some difficult questions may be those 20 out of 120 questions not being counted in the actual result.
Furthermore, when I completed 60 questions, the review screen was displayed. It also showed an "end section" (not remember the exact wording) button, which would bring me to the second half of the exam. I did take some time to think about what it meant and whether I should click it being afraid of ending the whole exam. Please be reminded this in the real exam setting.
It is all for my sharing. Good luck if you are going to take the PMI-ACP exam.
