The new Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) exam is now available.
The new exam features animations, comic strips, and additional testing types to enhance the testing experience and better test the learner‘s skills.
Point and Click (Hot Spot/Hot Area): For these types of items, the candidate will be given a small scenario and an image. Based on what the scenario says, the candidate will be tasked with clicking on a specific area on the image in order to get the question correct. For a hot spot, the area chosen by the candidate will be marked with an x. For a hot area, specific areas of the image will highlight as the candidate moves their mouse over the image. Once a candidate chooses an area, they will click, and the area will be highlighted.
Enhanced Matching: For most enhanced matching (drag and drop) items, candidates will see two columns of boxes. They will be given a scenario and will need to match the boxes on the left with the boxes on the right (opposite for Arabic candidates). They will simply click and drag one of the boxes on the left-hand side and place it on the appropriate box on the right-hand side. They will do this for all the boxes in the left-hand column.
Animation video: For animation video items, candidates will watch the animation video. Candidates can watch the animation multiple times and use the video controls to start, stop, rewind, etc. Based on the scenario, the candidate will be presented with a multiple-choice question to answer. Candidates will receive headphones at the testing center. The animations will have audio and will also include closed captioning.
Comic Strip: For comic strip items, the candidate will read the comic strip. The candidate may need to scroll down to see the complete comic strip. Based on the scenario in the comic strip, the candidate will be presented with a multiple-choice question to answer.
There will be one question to be answered for each animation or comic strip that is viewed. Candidates that take the CAPM via online proctored testing (OPT) will only view comic strip questions to ensure there are no sound issues.
