You have to know these areas well and your Workflow of the process groups well.
Free Step-by-Step Review: We also have a step by step review handout that is available for those who took their training since the new CAPM exam started in early 2018. If you are one of our CAPM customers and you don't have this handout, please request it by email. We sent this review out to those who took their CAPM training using pmWorkbook, and for those who took it from September 2019 using capmWorkbook. You will be provided the review that is appropriate to when you took your training, and what you have so far.
Whether you do the quiz practice or not, it is still recommended that you do review your materials, and use the review outline if you have it.

2. About Do it Again Training, but this time for the PMP Certification. If you have enough hours for the PMP Exam and you wish to take it. CAPMs can take advantage of this PMP loyalty offer.

Unless your materials say you have V6 training on the front cover, then you will need to take the current V6 PMP Certification training, and you can purchase that training at the URL provided in this paragraph in order to be up-to-date for the PMP Exam.
CAPM Exam eligibility dates & loss of exam fee: If you have an Exam ID sitting on your PMI dashboard, you are required to take that exam within those specified eligibility dates or at the end of any extended dates that PMI may have provided you, or you will lose your exam fee.

News from PMI:
"CAPM Continuing Certification Requirement (CCR) Update
New Way to Keep CAPM® Certification Active
Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification holders no longer need to reapply and pay ($225 for members and $300 for non-members) to retake the CAPM exam at the end of their certification cycle. Starting 1 October 2020, CAPM holders will instead start earning PDUs over a shorter certification cycle through our Continuing Certifications Requirement (CCR) program to remain active certification holders, just like what is required of our other certifications.
CAPM holders will only have to earn 15 PDUs over the new three-year certification cycle and pay the certification renewal fee ($60 for members and $150 for non-members).
Improving the Renewal Process
Research shows CAPM holders believe PDUs are a more valuable investment of their time and effort as they allow them to remain current on new developments and trends in project management. This new process is easier and less expensive for CAPM holders as there are many different opportunities for certification holders to earn PDUs.
An added bonus: if CAPM holders have other PMI certifications, they can apply the PDUs they earn for their other certifications to the PDU requirements for their CAPM. They will just have to pay the CAPM renewal fee. So if a CAPM holder also has their PMP, they can count 15 of the 60 PDUs they earn for the PMP toward their CAPM PDU requirement.
All CAPM exam eligibility dates are now through 12-31-2020 because of the coronavirus crisis. . .
Before 30 September 2020 @ 11:59 PM EST: Candidates who pass the exam before 30 September 2020 will have FIVE years to earn the 15 PDUs and pay the renewal fee.
After 1 October @ 12 AM EST: Candidates who pass the exam after 1 October 2020 will have THREE years to earn the 15 PDUs and pay the renewal fee." - from ATP newsletter
