If you are deciding which exam version to study, use the date rule first: take the current PMP route if your exam is on or before July 8, 2026, and use the PMP 2026 route if your exam is on or after July 9, 2026. PMBOK 8 matters most for the updated route because it helps explain newer scenario emphasis around value, AI, sustainability, governance, and real-world adaptive delivery.
PMExams keeps the PMBOK 8 reading path free. When you want timed PMP 2026 drills and larger mixed sets, use the PMP 2026 practice page on external practice and bring recurring misses back to the PMBOK 8 chapter that explains the pattern.
