Current Edition of The PMBOK Guide
PMI released the PMBOK Guide 7th Edition in Aug 2021 but the primary reference for the PMP exam is still 6th Edition. You can click here to find the PMP Exam reference list.
I also sent an email to Project Management Institute (PMI) asking about the primary reference guide for the PMP Exam in 2021. I asked them, "Which is the Primary Reference Guide for PMP Exam Preparation in 2021?"
Following is an excerpt from PMI's reply mail:
"Thank you for contacting the Project Management Institute.
We have received your query regarding the PMBOK guide.
We kindly need to inform you that the primary reference that you should refer back to for PMBOK guide is the 6th edition."
The PMBOK Guide Chapters Quiz is based on the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition.
Why Do You Need To Understand PMBOK Guide Chapters?
Majority of the PMP exam questions are based on PMBOK Guide concepts.
PMBOK Guide chapter questions create a strong foundation for the PMP exam.
It is next to impossible to memorize all the PMBOK Guide concepts. A sound understanding is necessary to pass the exam.
Overcome your fear of the PMP exam by practicing a lot of questions.
Can you pass the CAPM / PMP exam without practicing questions?
No! Practicing questions is a necessary evil.
Hey! I am Praveen Malik.

I passed my PMP exam in the year 2005. In those days the PMBOK Guide was much thinner. It was about one-fourth the size of today's version. There were only nine Knowledge Areas (KA) instead of ten, as they are today.
You might think that I was lucky to pass the exam at the right time.
Unfortunately no!
The PMP test takers in 2005 were not at all lucky because there was no study material and practice questions available in those days.
The Internet was in its infancy with no websites catering to the PMP exam. In fact pmi.org was also a very rudimentary website in those days.
To top it, in those days also the exam was considered one of the most difficult exams.
So, how did I pass the exam?
I went through the PMBOK Guide a few times and learned the concepts the hard way.
If you want, you too can read the PMBOK Guide again and again. However, you don't have to because many things have changed since then.
There many study aids available nowadays. My PMBOK Guide Chapters Quiz is one such study aid.
I became a full-time trainer and coach in the year 2008. As an independent trainer, I wanted to provide the best study material to my students. The chapters Quiz is a step in that direction.
Over the years, I have received positive feedback from my students about the Quiz. It has given confidence to hundreds of students to successfully pass the PMP exam.
You don't have to go through the trial and tribulations of reading the PMBOK Guide again and again.
