The PMP Exam Questions - Part 2 - Strategy to Answer Questions

Most people who took the exam complained bitterly about the scenario/situational type questions. The better your preparation, the better your chances of passing those questions as well. While you are preparing, you should be thinking about scenarios. For each new concept or idea think about scenarios and how you can apply the knowledge.

Here is a strategy which you can follow to answer those scenario questions.

Question 1: “What has the project manager FORGOTTEN to do?” Determine what process they are referring to.

Question 2:“What is the BEST thing to do?” The correct answer should resolve the underlying problem.

Question 3: “The project manager must be MOST careful to / which is the MOST important?” Look for the choice that will have the highest impact on the project.

Always pick the one that answers the question.

Remember the problem solving processes.

Also remember that not all questions are from the PMBOK®!

Read and understand the question fully.
