• Through a global research study of the role of a project scheduling professional, known as a role delineation study, PMI has developed the PMI-PS examination specification. The test content reflects the knowledge and skills that individuals holding the credential are expected to be able to demonstrate. All the questions and answers on the examination have been written and extensively reviewed by qualified project scheduling professionals and tracked to at least one project scheduling management reference. These questions are then mapped against the examination specification to ensure that an appropriate number of questions are included for a valid examination.
   
  
• Whilst The Credential for Project Scheduling Examination Specification and The Practice Standard for Scheduling are related, it is important to note that the individuals involved in developing the 'Examination Specification' were not bound by The Practice Standard for Scheduling. They were charged with defining the role of individuals who manage project scheduling, and used their experience and pertinent resources to help in this task. Many of the performance domains’ tasks, knowledge, and skills outlined by The Credential for Project Scheduling Examination Specification are also covered by The Practice Standard for Scheduling; however, it is important to note that there is not intended to be a one-to-one relationship. Mosaic's course development will include both the 'Examination Specification' and The Practice Standard for Scheduling among its references, as well as other contemporary resources on project scheduling management.
   
  
• The PMI-SP credential examination is comprised of 170 multiple-choice questions. Of the 170 questions, 20 are considered pretest questions. Pretest questions do not affect the score and are used in examinations as an effective and legitimate way to test the validity of future examination questions. All questions are randomly placed throughout the examination.  The time allowed for the examination is 3.5Hrs. The percentage of questions contained in each project scheduling domain are:
