Validates foundational knowledge of project management, predictive delivery, agile approaches and business analysis for supporting project work.
CAPM is 150 questions (135 scored) in 3 hours: multiple choice, drag-and-drop style and hot-spot items. Questions are short workplace scenarios across four domains, so good practice has to rehearse them in every domain. We compared the main options on exam-style wording, explanations and price.
Most people should start with the free sets to find their weak domain, then use Peter Landini's questions as their closest-to-exam bank and add TIA or PMI Study Hall for explanations and a timed full exam. PMI has not replaced the 2023 outline, so banks written for it are still current.

Five questions written by PMI, with the correct answers marked. They include a choose-two item and show how scenario questions are worded.
Great fit if you want a first look at PMI's own wording before spending anything.
Poor fit if you want a score or a domain breakdown; five questions cannot give one (see Pocket Prep's free set or Ramdayal's video).
A 70-minute video where he works through 50 questions and explains why each answer is right. Recorded for the 2023 exam update, which is still the current outline.
Great fit if you want free practice with spoken explanations and a quick read on your weak domains.
Poor fit if you need a timed, scored exam; use a simulator for that (see TIA or Study Hall).
A question book with a link to the same sets online, plus a 150-question simulation. It is the resource passing candidates name most often, and they say its wording and question types are closest to the real exam.
Great fit if you want the most exam-like questions for the lowest price, including matching items.
Poor fit if you want spoken or video explanations (see TIA) or need to practise on your phone (see Pocket Prep).
Five mock exams from a 350-question bank, each question with a video from Ramdayal on why the right answer is right and the others are wrong.
Great fit if you learn well from video explanations and want timed mocks at a low price, especially after his course.
Poor fit if you want the closest match to PMI's wording; some candidates call it easier than the exam, so pair it with Landini.
PMI's own platform with one 150-question exam, three 10-question mini exams, 50 extra questions, case studies and flashcards. Each exam exists in a single version, so a retake repeats the same questions.
Great fit if you want PMI-written questions and one official full-length rehearsal, or your employer pays and wants the official route.
Poor fit if you want several full exams; add Landini or TIA for volume.
A mobile and web question bank with quizzes by domain, missed-question review and a mock exam. Every question has an explanation that cites PMI references.
Great fit if you want to practise on your phone in short sessions and track your weak domains.
Poor fit if you want the closest match to PMI's wording; candidates call it more descriptive and easier than the real exam, so add Landini.
One 150-question PMI practice exam with feedback on each question and a percentage score at the end. Candidates who took it found it longer and harder than the real exam.
Great fit if you want one official full-length run as a final check and your employer or budget covers the price.
Poor fit if you are paying yourself; Study Hall includes a 150-question exam for about half the price.

Yes. PMI publishes five free sample questions, Andrew Ramdayal's YouTube video walks through 50 CAPM questions, and Pocket Prep gives 60 questions free. None is a full 150-question exam, so add a paid exam when you want a timed run.
No. PMI's CAPM page still links the 2023 Examination Content Outline, and the 150-question, 3-hour format is unchanged. The July 9, 2026 change applies to PMP, not CAPM, so a 2023-outline practice test is still the right one.
It depends on the product. Candidates call Landini's questions the closest to the real exam, Pocket Prep easier, and PMI's paid practice exam harder than the real thing. Judge readiness across two sources, not one score.
There is no set number. Most passing candidates describe one or two full 150-question exams on questions they had not seen, plus domain quizzes, each followed by a full review.
