正如我们事先通知你们的那样，PMI（美国项目管理协会）对新的项目管理专业人员考试超过800名考生的每一个问题的解答和得分进行了采样。（采样从2005年9月30日成绩发布时开始）。现在，PMI已经得到了充分的信息，能够进行知识能力分析，这种分析的统计可靠性依赖于每道问题考生的解答得出的结论。
在举行最近考试之前，PMI组织一些志愿者确定了通过分数，确定过程中使用被称做“安果夫修正技术” 的方法，这是一种论证考试改进的方法。2005年夏季一些全球项目管理专业人员们分析了每一道考试题并且独立评估了决定试题难易水平的问题。他们的反馈被送到PMI的知识能力专家那里进行综合评定。从这些反馈信息中，PMI的知识能力专家推荐PMI采用80%的通过点（141个正确问题）。
在考试后，PMI考察考生的能力用来证明通过分数的有效性。除此之外，通过另一个志愿者团队对这超过800名考生的实际考试结果的分析，PMI得到评估。在对附加数据的统计分析后，PMI和他的独立的知识能力专家能够对问题的难易和考生的能力得出结论。这个第二个评估，由PMI发起做为标准化考试改进的程序的一部分，指出通过分数应该被调整。因此，PMI修订了考试通过分数为61%（106个正确问题）。于是，PMI对参加最近考试的考生从2005年9月30日所有进行的考试应用了新的考试分数。目前PMI正改变考生的成绩记录。
同时，我们对考生和培训者对通过分数的变化的关心保持极度关注。这些关注必须同整个考试的目的相衡量：提供一个全球统一标准，所有合格者确保得到证书。我们必须保证没有学到知识和关键技能考生不能得到证书，但是更重要的是，我们不想让有资格的考生在这样竞争激烈的考试中没有得到证书。
PMI采取的措施有：
对没有成功通过最近考试的考生采用调整后的分数。
对于在成绩在调整后分数之上的考生将通过邮寄得到证书，在8周内名字将加到PMP网上查询中。
在调整后的分数仍没有通过考试的考生，将得到通知并鼓励再次考试。
考生无论通过与否,都将被通知考试的评分情况。
知识分析采取步骤调整考试分数,目的是让准备计划考试的考生得到评分，而不是对通过分数进行评估.
在现在和1月份的考试测验，将得到它们的PMI考试分数评估，并在上面提到的网上得到通知.
PMI理解考试和通过分数的变化将带来大量的问题。我们请大家网上参与以获得对这次变化的更多信息.
我们谢谢你对这次PMI进行的变化的支持和理解。PMI理解证书的重要性和资格考试中通过及失败的每个考生和培训者所付出的努力。

以下是英文原文：
As we have previously informed you, PMI has been actively collecting test scores and results on each question of the new Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam from over 800 candidates since its release on 30 September 2005. Now that PMI has captured sufficient data, we can perform a psychometric analysis that is statistically reliable from which to make conclusions about the performance of questions as well as candidate performance.
Before offering the new examination, PMI assembled a group of volunteers to help establish the passing score. Using a method known as the “Modified Angoff Technique” (a proven exam development method), a group of global PMPs in the summer of 2005 assessed each test question and independently evaluated the questions to determine their difficulty level. Their responses were then sent to PMI’s psychometric (exam development) experts and averaged. From that information, PMI’s psychometricians recommended that PMI adopt a passing point of 81 percent (141 correct questions).
After the examination was introduced, PMI monitored candidate performance to verify the validity of the passing score. In addition to its analysis of the actual test results from over 800 candidates, PMI sought review by an additional volunteer team. After performing a statistical analysis of the additional data, PMI and its independent psychometricians were able to make conclusions about the performance of questions as well as candidate performance. This second review, initiated by PMI as part of standard exam development procedure, indicated that the passing score should be adjusted. Accordingly, PMI revised the passing score for the exam to 61 percent (106 correct questions). PMI then applied the new passing score to all examinations taken since 30 September 2005 by candidates who sat for the new exam. PMI is in the process of updating the candidates' records.
While we remain extremely sensitive to candidate and trainer concerns about such a change in the passing score, these considerations must be weighed in context of the overall purpose of the exam: to provide a consistent global standard that all practitioners must meet to ensure the credential is awarded to qualified individuals. We need to ensure that candidates who do not meet the knowledge and experience criteria do not receive the credential but more importantly, we do not want candidates that are qualified to be prevented from receiving the credential because the exam presents such a strenuous challenge to the test taker.
The steps PMI is taking include:
- Candidates who were not successful on the new exam have had their test re-scored using the adjusted passing score.
- Where the result of this review determined that the candidate’s score is above the adjusted passing score, he or she is awarded the credential and notified through a communication.
- Candidates who were granted the PMP Credential will be mailed their new PMP packages and will have their names added to the online PMP registry within 8 weeks.
- Candidates who still have a failing grade after having their test re-scored are advised through a communication and are encouraged to re-take the test.
- Candidates, regardless of whether they have passed or failed, received a communication from PMI advising them of their revised status.
- Prometric has taken steps to adjust the passing score so that candidates who are scheduled to test will be scored against the revised passing score. The complete global deployment of the change in passing score at all Prometric sites will take place between 15 December and 30 December.
- Candidates testing between now and the December deployment will have their test score evaluated by PMI and will receive a communication as outlined above.
We thank you for your support and understanding of the process that PMI follows. PMI recognizes the importance of the credential and the challenges that a pass/fail classification has on the examination preparation effort by candidates and their trainers. If you have any questions regarding this communication, please contact examquestions@pmi.org.
