PK0-005
CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) is a vendor-neutral, entry-level project management certification for people who run small-to-medium projects without committing to the heavier PMP track. It validates that you can lead a project through its full life cycle, manage constraints, and keep stakeholders aligned. For coordinators and "accidental" project managers, it is often the credential a promotion, a contract renewal, or an employer's training requirement hinges on — so a single failed attempt can stall the very timeline you are trying to protect. This page breaks down exactly what the exam tests, how it is delivered, and how to get it done right the first time.

How the CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) exam is built — at a glance
90
Up to 90 items combining single- and multiple-response multiple choice with scenario-driven performance-based questions that ask you to apply project decisions, not just recall definitions.
90
A single 90-minute window — roughly one minute per question if you hit the cap. There is no separate adaptive engine; pacing and reading the longer scenario items quickly are the main time risks.
710
Scored on a 100–900 scale with 710 required to pass. The result is pass/fail with a scaled score — CompTIA does not publish a per-domain breakdown of correct answers needed.
Project+ is methodology-agnostic. It does not lock you into PMBOK, PRINCE2, or Agile alone — instead it tests core concepts and life-cycle phases that apply across frameworks, which makes it a practical fit for hybrid and predictive (waterfall) project environments alike.
Unlike the PMP, Project+ has no eligibility application and far less calculation. The hard part is breadth: you are expected to recognize the right tool, document, communication channel, or governance step for a given scenario, across the full project life cycle, under time pressure.
Four weighted domains — bars show each domain's share of the PK0-005 exam
Roles and responsibilities, schedules and resources, cost and quality, risk, and the constraints that shape every project. The single largest domain on the exam.
Discovery and initiation, planning, execution, and closing — knowing which activities, deliverables, and decisions belong in each phase of a project's life.
Project tools, communication methods, and the documents and artifacts — charters, schedules, status reports, change requests — that keep work on track and stakeholders informed.
Foundational IT concepts in a project context, plus governance, compliance, and the policies and frameworks a project must operate within.
The two largest domains — Concepts and Life Cycle Phases — together account for roughly two-thirds of the exam, so a candidate who is strong on tools but shaky on phase activities or constraint trade-offs can still fall short of 710. Domain weights are published by CompTIA in the PK0-005 exam objectives and may change in future revisions, so always confirm against the official objectives PDF before test day.
Two ways to sit Project+ through Pearson VUE — and what to expect on test day
You sit the exam in a quiet, monitored room at a Pearson VUE testing center. Staff verify your government-issued ID, store your belongings, and provide the workstation and any erasable noteboard. Center seats are widely available worldwide and avoid any home-setup or connection risk.
You take the exam from a private room at home, monitored by a live Pearson OnVUE proctor. You complete a system test, a webcam room scan, and an ID check beforehand. The same voucher covers either option, so you can choose based on your setup and comfort.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID whose name matches your CompTIA / Pearson VUE profile exactly. The proctor captures a photo before the exam unlocks.
For OnVUE: a clear desk, no second monitor, no phone within reach, and a 360° webcam scan of the room. No one else may enter for the duration of the exam.
Stay in frame and on-camera throughout. There are no scheduled breaks in the 90-minute window. Talking aloud, leaving the seat, or losing connection can flag the session.
Project+ is built for people who run projects without a heavy PM title
No formal requirements — but the breadth is real
Difficulty: Project+ is more approachable than the PMP, but it is not a guaranteed pass. The challenge is breadth and precise terminology — knowing the right tool, document, or phase activity for each scenario rather than deep math. Most candidates invest several weeks of focused study, which is exactly the kind of pressure point our help is designed to remove.
Project+ is a broad, time-boxed exam sitting between you and a promotion, a contract requirement, or your next certification. Exam Assist pairs you with a vetted CompTIA specialist and works on a pay-after-you-pass model — so the risk sits with us, not you. No upfront fee, guaranteed results: Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end, and you settle only after the verified result.
