PMI conducts application audits to confirm the experience and/or education documented on credential applications.

PMP states it as a “random audit” with no specific criteria or percentage of applicants being audited. Industry practitioners following PMI have often stated that about 10% of the applications get ‘randomly’ picked for audit. Rest assured Sync IT Learning will help you with the audit 100% and you will get your certification.

PBT (paper-based test) is only available for regions that don’t have access to the internet, folks in the US do not qualify for it.

Once you are eligible as per the criteria which is mentioned in Ques 14^th for your reference, PMI will e-mail you examination scheduling instructions with your eligibility code, which you will need when scheduling your exam appointment at a testing center.
