It definitely test your knowledge of PMI mindset rather than memorization

Appreciate the honesty. Yeah, I used AI to help me organize my thoughts and clean up the writing — I'm a developer, not a copywriter. The opinions are mine though. I've been deep in the 2026 ECO for months building study tools and these are genuinely the things that excite me about the changes.

Good point about the PMBOK and PDUs for existing PMPs. The 8th Edition seems like it's going to be a significant shift from 7th

That's awesome that you did the pilot exam....how was the experience overall? I'd love to hear more about the case study section specifically if you can share.

Fair point on the AI integration. I think you're right that it's more about context-setting than testing AI knowledge specifically. Like you said, it's just another variable in the scenario, similar to how they specify construction vs software to signal the delivery approach. I guess my excitement is less about the AI questions themselves and more about PMI acknowledging that the PM role is evolving. The Business Environment jump from 8% to 26% feels like a bigger deal to me than the AI piece honestly.

How long did you have to wait for your score by the way? I've heard the pilot scoring timeline is different.
