Home 》PRM 》 EXAM FORMAT 》
The exam is computer-based and the questions are all multiple choice. Exam questions are randomly drawn from the exam data base, according to the syllabus order and weightings. The Associate PRM exam is offered in English and Simplified Chinese.
Total number of exam questions – 90
Exam time allowed - 3 hours
Passing grade - a minimum of 60% correct
No paper may be brought into the testing center, however, you will be provided with an erasable board upon request.
Once admitted to the testing room, there will be a tutorial that introduces the functionality of the exam and a brief message from PRMIA. After this has been viewed, you may begin your exam. You will be asked multiple-choice questions with four possible responses.
There are no breaks allowed during the exam. The testing system allows you to mark and review questions as long as time is remaining.
Please note that you are unlikely to finish your exam with substantial extra time. You are encouraged to use the tutorial in an expedient manner, but sufficient time is allocated for you to complete the tutorial and the exam.
90 DAY RULE
Please note that there is a strict PRMIA policy that exams may NOT be retaken within 90 days of a prior sitting. Any candidate attempt to transgress this policy by whatever means may result in penalties against the candidate which could include forfeit of any PRMIA certifications, vouchers, and possible expulsion from PRMIA. This rule applies equally where PRMIA exams are available in other languages.
