PMP Exam Update 2026




&lt;div style=&quot;max-height:0px;&quot;&gt;
    PMBOK 8 is here. Does the exam change? Read the confirmed timeline inside.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
    &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;padding:20px 0;&quot;&gt;
            
            &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; class=&quot;container&quot; style=&quot;background-color:#ffffff;&quot;&gt;
                
                &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
                    &lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;padding:30px 40px;background-color:#003366;&quot;&gt;
                        &lt;h1 style=&quot;color:#ffffff;margin:0;font-size:24px;letter-spacing:1px;&quot;&gt;KAVITA SHARMA&lt;/h1&gt;
                    &lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;/tr&gt;

                &lt;tr&gt;
                    &lt;td class=&quot;mobile-pad&quot; style=&quot;padding:40px 40px 20px 40px;color:#333333;font-size:16px;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
                        &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0;&quot;&gt;Hi {firstname},&lt;/p&gt;
                        
                        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PMBOK® Guide 8th Edition has been released.&lt;/strong&gt; A new Exam Content Outline (ECO) has been announced.&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;Naturally, my inbox is flooded with one question:&lt;br /&gt;
                        &lt;em&gt;&quot;Kavita, do I need to restart my studying?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;I recorded a video to give you the exact truth, but here is the short answer: &lt;strong&gt;No.&lt;/strong&gt; (At least, not yet).&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;Here is the official timeline you need to know:&lt;/p&gt;
                    &lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;/tr&gt;

                &lt;tr&gt;
                    &lt;td class=&quot;mobile-pad&quot; style=&quot;padding:0 40px;&quot;&gt;

                            &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
                                &lt;td style=&quot;padding:20px;&quot;&gt;

                                    &lt;ul style=&quot;margin:10px 0 0 20px;padding:0;font-size:15px;color:#333333;&quot;&gt;

                                        &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Advice:&lt;/strong&gt; Don't wait. Pass the exam now while the format is stable.&lt;/li&gt;
                                    &lt;/ul&gt;
                                &lt;/td&gt;
                            &lt;/tr&gt;
                        &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

      <title>Congratulations Velu on acheiving PMP success</title>
      <link>https://lms.kavitasharma.net/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=8&amp;parent=8</link>
      <pubDate>Thu, 27 Nov 2025 18:15:09 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>by Kavita Sharma. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background:#f7fbff;border:1px solid #d7e2ea;padding:24px 28px;max-width:760px;margin:0 auto;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;

  &lt;h2 style=&quot;margin:0 0 12px;color:#16314a;font-size:22px;&quot;&gt;
    Congratulations, Velu – PMP Certified!
  &lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0 0 16px;color:#354a5e;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
    We are delighted to celebrate the success of &lt;strong&gt;Velu&lt;/strong&gt;, who has officially cleared the
    &lt;strong&gt;PMP Exam&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;Above Target&lt;/strong&gt; performance. His journey is a powerful
    example of discipline, clarity, and consistent effort.
  &lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h3 style=&quot;margin:0 0 10px;color:#16314a;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;How Velu Achieved This Milestone&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0 0 16px;color:#354a5e;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
    Velu followed the &lt;strong&gt;21-Day PMP Study Plan&lt;/strong&gt; designed for busy working professionals.
    With just &lt;strong&gt;two focused mentoring sessions&lt;/strong&gt;, he aligned his preparation,
    sharpened his exam strategy, and improved his ability to handle situational questions—
    the core of today’s PMP exam.
  &lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0 0 16px;color:#354a5e;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
    His success reflects his own commitment, consistency, and willingness to trust the process.
    The plan worked because he worked the plan.
  &lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h3 style=&quot;margin:0 0 10px;color:#16314a;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Velu’s Own Words&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;div style=&quot;border-left:3px solid #2b7bb9;padding-left:14px;background:#ffffff;margin-bottom:16px;&quot;&gt;
    &lt;p style=&quot;margin:12px 0;font-size:15px;color:#234258;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;
        “Passed my PMP exam above target. Thank you for your guidance and support.
        The exam is more situational than logical and doesn’t require calculators.
        Your course is very precise and to the point. Anyone who follows the
        21-day plan can easily pass the exam.”
      &lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:13px;color:#5b7389;&quot;&gt;
      – Velu, PMP Mentorship Student
    &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0 0 10px;color:#354a5e;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;&quot;&gt;
    Congratulations once again, Velu. Your achievement inspires the entire PMP community here at
    &lt;strong&gt;lms.kavitasharma.net&lt;/strong&gt;.  
    We are proud of your success—and even prouder of the effort you put in to make it happen.
  &lt;/p&gt;
