Question-Oriented Tips

* There are certain questions that contain extra information. This information is irrelevant and it does not relate to the correct answer. Beware of such questions and remember it isn’t necessary to use all the information provided to answer the question.
* Each question has only one correct answer. You need to select the most appropriate answer. Beware of choices that represent true statements but are not relevant. Be sure to read all the options before you select any one.
* You need to answer the questions from a PMI perspective—not from your own perspective.
* Beware of answer choices that represent generalizations, which may be characterized by words such as always, never, must, or completely; these are often the incorrect choices.
* Look out for choices that represent special cases. These choices tend to be correct and are characterized by words such as often, sometimes, may, generally, and perhaps.
* The correct answer may not be grammatically correct.

PMI Concept Oriented Tips

* The project manager takes an active approach to the job by not waiting until a risk materializes and becomes a problem. This is an extremely important concept that might affect many questions on an exam. The project manager does not escalate problems to upper management or to the customer before fully analyzing them and identifying options. When answering a question related to what the project manager should do in a specific situation, you should rephrase the question to: What is the first thing the project manager will do given such a situation and given his or her proactive nature?
* Assume that lessons learned and historical databases are available. This might not be true in a real life situation.
* PMI does not approve adding extra functionality without benefits or gold plating.
* Project managers have all kinds of soft and hard skills.
* The Work Breakdown Structures (WBSs) are wonderful tools.
* Roles and responsibilities need to be properly defined.

* Do not leave any question blank.
* There will always be those situations where you have no idea what the question is asking. Use educated guessing to select the most appropriate option. Remember, you have only 80 seconds for each question. If you do not know the answer of a question, mark it and move on and revisit it later.
* Answer the questions based on the PMBOK concepts first, then consider your experience. If they are in conflict, the PMBOK wins.
