PMI's new PMP examination is scheduled to be released on 31 August 2011. This means that the last day to take the current PMP examination is 30 August 2011. In a nutshell, the big change is that starting August 31, 2011, instead of having six sections to the PMP exam (one for each of the five PMI Process Groups, plus one for Ethics & Social Responsibility), there will now only be five sections of the test (one for each of the Process Groups). Ethics & Social Responsibility questions will be interspersed throughout the other five sections, instead of in their own section.
