PMHUB-G Question on new PMP from Aug 31,2011

Hi All:

I am trying to appear for PMP. Can some one elaborate " on what changed" in PMP certification from Aug 31? Can I use study guides from fourth edition of PMBOK? How is preparation different from folks who took the test before Aug 31?

 I saw the text below but unable to clearly understand it. Any help would be appreciated.


What are the major differences from the new exam to the old exam?

A: Approximately 30% of the content on the PMP examination is new or has substantial changes to reflect the role as defined by the RDS. This will result in existing items being updated as appropriate, new examination items being developed to meet these requirements, and old items which do not meet the criteria being retired.

A: Certain areas of the examination need to be tested in a different way because it was seen to be common across all content areas of the examination. Specifically, the Professional and Social Responsibility content area (Domain 6) will now be tested in every domain rather than as a separate domain on the examination. As such, PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is now integrated into the day-to-day role of a project manager, emphasizing its importance in each phase of the project lifecycle.

With Regards,
