PMHUB-G PMP Exam Tips and Tricks

From:

"Passed PMP Exam on Jan 31st on my 2nd attempt  Understanding PMI-isms are extremely important!!! I think this is why I failed the first time. You can't go in with the experience that you have in your current job. (Quoted from an LL by a PMP who succeed the second time around Jan 31, 2009)"
- Gold plating is a sin
– PM skills is transferable to any industry, you do not need industry-related skills (frankly this is not true in reality)
– Confrontation/problem solving is the best way in conflict resolution
– PM is the most important job in the world
– PM is proactive – managing change, a powerful decision maker, spent >90% of his/her time communicating
- Scope, roles and responsibilities need to be clearly defined
- WBS WBS WBS

Tips in Answering Exam Questions
1) Some questions have extra/unnecessary information – just ignore those.
2. always choose the best answer for all the possible right answer, eliminate those that are wrong. Each question has only one correct answer.  Read all the options before you select  just one.
3) Answer the questions from a PMI perspective.  Dispel your own perspective, or experience. The exam is based on PMI's world, not the real world.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6)  The right option is the right option – even though the grammar might not be 100% correct.
