This is a free lesson from The PM PrepCast. 

Earned Value Management (EVM) is the best thing that ever happened to project management. Or at least this statement holds true for anyone who is preparing to take the PMP exam. Without knowing EVM you will have a hard time passing. 

Earned Value Management - most people simply call it Earned Value (EV) - is a method of monitoring project performance and progress for each work package or at the control account level.

What is the difference between the CAPM and the PMP Exam?​
The main difference is that the CAPM is a "knowledge-based exam" while the PMP is an "experience-based exam".

The questions on the CAPM exam are all focused on the PMBOK Guide. It is an entry-level certification for project practitioners. It is intended for those with little or no project experience and tests your understanding of the fundamental knowledge, terminology and processes of effective project management. Basically it tests how well you understand PMBOK Guide concepts - nothing more.

The PMP Exam on the other hand goes far beyond the CAPM. The questions on the exam are more situational and they test your actual experience as a project manager. The questions are based not only on the PMBOK Guide, but they can come pretty much from "anywhere". Being PMP certified demonstrates that you have the experience, education and competency to lead and direct projects.
