PMI officially announces that it will deploy the updated PMP credential examination (referred to as the “2005 Examination” for purposes of this communication) globally at 14.00 GMT on 30 September 2005. Five days prior, a “black-out” period (beginning on 25 September 2005) will commence during which the PMP credential examination will be unavailable.

PMI can not guarantee space at any test center and strongly recommends that candidates
apply early and schedule their examinations immediately upon receipt of their eligibility notice to ensure they can reserve a seat to test on the 2004 Examination.


Application and Scheduling

Applications to take the current PMP examination (referred to as the “2004 Examination” for purposes of this communication) will be accepted until 29 August 2005. Candidates submitting applications after 29 August 2005 will take the 2005 Examination.

Candidates who do not receive a passing score on the 2004 Examination will be permitted to re-take the 2004 examination for the period of one year from the date of their last attempt; these will be the only candidates permitted to take the 2004 Examination after the release of the 2005 Examination.

PS: 由于国内是参加笔试，可能有些方法会不适用或有其他变化，我们会就此特点进行确认。

我的理解是, 在8月29日前申請考試, 並在9月24日前考試的人, 如果沒有通過考試的話, 在往後一年中提出再申請並考試者得採用原本之2000版本..
