PMHUB-G Pertinent Point to Ponder - PMBOK 3 - PMBOK 4th or both?

"One thing I found extremely frustrating was that the exam used 3rd edition and 4th edition PMBOK terminologies interchangeably. I'm not sure if this was a mistake, since they had just recently converted to 4th edition, or if it was intentional (since the changes are listed in the appendix and are therefore fair game). Either way, this inconsistency made me livid during the exam, and if you've studied ONLY 4th edition, you're certainly going to get things mixed up. For example, one of the questions mentioned a "Select Sellers" process, which does not exist in 4th edition; it's now part of Conduct Procurements."
