CAPM Study Prep

CAPM EXAM PREP: PASS YOUR PMI ENTRY-LEVEL CERTIFICATION

The CAPM is PMI's entry-level project management certification with a 60 to 65 percent first-attempt pass rate. Candidates who fail most often struggle with EVM calculations, schedule network math, and the breadth of PMBOK terminology.

EVM CALCULATOR

Enter PV, EV, AC, and BAC to calculate all 8 formulas: CV equals EV minus AC. Positive means under budget. SV equals EV minus PV. Positive means ahead of schedule. CPI equals EV divided by AC. Above 1.0 is favorable. SPI equals EV divided by PV. EAC equals BAC divided by CPI. ETC equals EAC minus AC. VAC equals BAC minus EAC. TCPI equals remaining work divided by remaining budget. Each result shows the formula, your numbers, the value, and plain English meaning with color-coded status.

WBS BUILDER

Enter a project name and up to 20 deliverables. The tool generates a hierarchical WBS with proper numbering (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1) and 100 percent rule reminder. WBS Dictionary fields shown for each work package. Rolling wave planning guidance included.

NETWORK DIAGRAM CALCULATOR

Add up to 10 activities with durations and Finish-to-Start dependencies. The tool runs both the forward pass (Early Start and Early Finish) and backward pass (Late Start and Late Finish). Float equals Late Start minus Early Start. Zero float identifies the critical path.

1,000+ PRACTICE QUESTIONS

PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT (13%): Project charter, project management plan, direct and manage work, manage knowledge, monitor and control, integrated change control, close project.

PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT (10%): Collect requirements, define scope, create WBS, validate scope, control scope. Gold plating and the 100 percent rule.

PROJECT SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT (12%): Define and sequence activities, estimate durations (analogous, parametric, three-point), develop and control schedule. Critical path method, float, schedule compression (crashing vs fast-tracking).

PROJECT COST MANAGEMENT (9%): Estimate costs, determine budget, control costs. All 8 EVM formulas.

PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT (8%): Quality vs grade, cost of quality, quality tools (fishbone, control chart, Pareto, histogram).

PROJECT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (8%): Acquire, develop, manage team. RACI chart, resource leveling and smoothing.

PROJECT COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT (8%): Communication channels formula N times (N minus
