CAPM practice test and practice exam questions
The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) from PMI is the entry-level project management certification. The exam has 150 questions in three hours and covers predictive, agile and business analysis approaches, so it rewards broad knowledge rather than experience. Our CAPM practice exams cover every domain, with a full-length timed mock that matches the real one.

What the CAPM exam tests
- Project management fundamentals: life cycles, roles, processes and core concepts.
- Predictive, plan-based methods: scope, schedule, cost and the plan-driven approach.
- Agile frameworks and methods: Scrum, Kanban and adaptive planning.
- Business analysis: requirements, stakeholders and analysis techniques.
Sample CAPM exam question
In a predictive project, which document formally authorizes the project and gives the project manager authority to use organizational resources?
- The project management plan.
- The project charter.
- The business case.
- The scope statement.
Answer: 2. The project charter, issued by the sponsor, authorizes the project and names the project manager. The plan comes later and describes how the work will be done. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.
