You can become a student member of PMI prior to registering for the exam which will save you on exam fees. The coursework however must be completed at the time of taking your examination.

You are granted a 1-year eligibility period in which to pass the examination. During the eligibility period, you may take the examination up to three times should you fail. The good news is CMI students consistently achieve a 92% pass rate.
