Test of MEMORY It’s a test to check your skills as aProject Manager



PMI Exam containsaround 150 Situational Qs.

Which test your response tothem

as a Project Manager



Though it looks difficult to masterInput – Output Techniquesgiven in ‘PMBOK’ guide, But in the Exam you get

Only about 10-12 Qs.,

which ask you the ExactInput-Output process

(So Don’t Spend Too much time Cramming Them)



Most students feeluncertain about

only 40 Qs.Out of 200 Qs asked!!

So its not that TOUGH!!



There would be only10-12

Formula related Qs,

So don’t bother yourCalculator too much!!



Many Qs. Would be ambiguousand quite Wordy..

So try to have this habit of checking

THE LAST SENTENCE FIRST!(Because most of the Times, the questionis hidden in the last sentence and even if

you read only the last sentence of theQuestion, you will still give the Correct

Answer using PMI perspective



Read all 4 Options beforechoosing your Answer..Many students commit

this mistake of choosing

the First/ Last option without analyzing

all the 4 options



Many Qs. Seem to have

2 Right Answers…

But Only ONE is theBEST ONE…

so keep on the lookout!!



How to Choose The Best Answerout of Alternative Options?

1. Eliminate 2 Absolutely WrongOnes

2. When left with 2 Good Optionssearch for the BEST one

3. Revise PMBOK Methodologiesto choose between 2 Good options



WHENEVER IN DOUBT

Try to Answer all Questions from thePMI Perspective

& not the perspective you have acquiredfrom your Experience as a

Project Manager



Control Your Frustrations

Get used to the Idea That there would beQuestions which you would not be able to Solve

Move to the Next one …and the Next One..

Once the you have gained controlover the situation,

you may now Revisit your doubtful Qs..

You will be able to solve them NOW!



Many Times Answer of One Questionis given in another Question

Use Extra time at the Endto Revise all Questions!(Based on the fact that almost

90% students complete the paperin 3 hours)



When asked to AnswerFill in the Blank type Question,Don’t Look for the

Grammatically Correct option.

But the Logically correct one, from the

PMI perspective



Please carefully read Qs. Whichinclude terms like ‘mostly’, ‘rarely’,

‘except’, ‘often’, ‘sometimes’, ‘never’,‘usually’, etc.

Because the Obvious answer is Actually Different from you
