● During the first 15 minutes of PMP exam, create a brain dump sheet consisting of formulas, theories, knowledge areas, processes, and so on. You can quickly refer to this sheet during the exam and efficiently manage your time. My Notes This will not count towards the 4 hours you have to take the test.

pl e

● Read each question thoroughly before answering it. Do not assume that you know what is being asked. Remember that there will be qualifiers such as NOT and BEST.

m

● Read all the answer options even if you see the correct answer while attempting the questions. There could be more correct answers available. Identify and eliminate the distracter options.

Sa

● Skip the questions that you don’t have answers for right away and come back to them later. However, you can also mark or flag such a question with an answer, so that you can revisit the same before the final submission of the exam. This will help you give the potential answer as per the current thought process and revisit it later to check and validate the thought process. ● Use your PMBOK knowledge in selecting the best answers. When in doubt, listen to your gut feeling and mark the best option. You will not lose points for providing the wrong answer. Copyright © 2013, ITpreneurs Nederland B.V. All rights reserved.

● The PMP exam is about problem solving. The questions are worded as “you are a PM, your project is broken, fix it.” The key to fixing the problem in a project is always applying a PMP tool or ethical concept. You have to know the model, the tools and rules, and how to apply them.

Guidelines for the PMP Exam Preparation Question Strategies

Situation-based questions

Questions with nonrelevant information

Questions that have more than one correct answer

Questions based on a known topic but with a new approach

Lengthy questions filled with jargon

The PMP exam will not test your memory, but your ability to apply your knowledge and skills to analyze different situations. Most of the PMP exam questions are situation-based, taking clues from the real world.

Tips

● Use your analytical skills in answering the questions.

pl e

● Recall lessons learned from your projects and real-life experiences. ● Do not overstrain yourself by memorizing all the information in the books at one time, though it is useful to memorize definitions and concepts.

● Expect around 10-12 questions based on definitions, concepts, and general management knowledge.
