SAP PM vs SAP EAM Certification
It is a little bit confusing but the certification for SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) module is officially called not SAP PM certification but SAP EAM certification. Don’t be confused by this when booking your exam at the official SAP website or through PearsonVUE.
SAP PM Certification Questions
Before you read these sample questions, it is necessary to make one thing crystal clear: there is absolutely no way to get SAP PM questions that will appear at the actual certification. There are several reasons why it is not possible. First, no one has access to the bank of the certification questions because they are kept in the utmost secrecy. Second, the pool of questions that SAP has is so large that, even if someone could extract some questions from the secret database, the probability of getting these SAP PM questions at the exam is extremely low because the questions are randomly selected by a computer. Therefore, do not believe the people who try to sell you SAP PM questions and promise that after studying them you will definitely pass SAP PM (EAM) certification.
During SAP PM certification you will be required to answer 80 multiple choice questions. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers. It means that you should try to answer as many questions as possible even if you are not sure what is the correct answer. You will be given 180 minutes to complete the certification. The current passing score for SAP PM certification is around 60%.
