Will PMBOK 8 Make the PMP Exam Harder? What You Should Expect

PMBOK 8 is raising real questions for PMP candidates, especially those taking the exam in 2026. If you are unsure what is actually changing, what still stays tied to the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO), or how much to update your study plan right now, you are not alone. This uncertainty can slow your prep and pull your focus away from what is most likely to show up on the exam.

To ease that confusion, Simplilearn is hosting a live webinar led by an expert PMP trainer to help you adjust your prep based on your target exam date. The session offers a simple PMBOK 7 vs 8 vs ECO view, explains how PMI typically handles transitions, and shows how to stay focused on high-yield areas. You will also see how mock exams, simulations, and GenAI tools can support responsible, faster practice. The takeaway is a clear 30/60/90-day plan and a calm path toward structured, exam-ready preparation.
