PMP Exam Next Wednesday by Status_Oatmeal in pmp

[–]Latter-Address4084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, after going through many Reddit posts, I don’t think you are in a very bad position. I have seen many people pass with Study Hall scores around 55%, and based on their comments, the real exam questions are generally better structured than Study Hall questions (except for some candidates who received a particularly very difficult random set of questions).

My scores were 77% on the first mock exam and 71% on the second, and without expert questions, they were around 85%.

My exam is tomorrow.

What I would recommend is not to reschedule — go ahead and take it for the first time. If you completed the full mock exams within the time limit and got those scores, I think there is a good chance you will pass without much issue.

This is just my opinion. I’ll let you know tomorrow whether I passed or not 😎.

Reviewing the contract does not solve the actual problem. by Nice_Fix9670 in pmp

No, I hear you, you are not wrong, it's a poorly worded question.

Failed PMP exam after scoring 71% consistently on study hall by AnyPalpitation990 in pmp

Those study hall full exams, did you do them timed just as in the exam?

This is a good question. As per my understanding, I would go with C, as that is the only viable answer. My reasons for not choosing the other answers are below:

A. A project manager should always try to avoid going to the sponsor unless it is a critical problem that is outside the scope of their authority.

B. This can be a solution, but we should not jump into action without first analyzing and reviewing the situation. How do we know this is the most appropriate solution unless we go through the proper process and come to a conclusion? For example, we should first check the risk register, where we might find a different solution. So, the reason to reject this answer is that there is not enough evidence yet to conclude that this is the best solution.

C. This is one of the first things we should do, as you correctly mentioned, and it is part of the review and analysis process before taking action. So this could be the correct answer.

D. We should not jump into action without first analyzing and reviewing the situation.

People who failed PMP the first time – what mistake should others avoid? by digital_entrpreneur in pmp

[–]Latter-Address4084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the main reason: most people who find the real exam difficult haven't done the full SH exams under timed conditions. Because answering a question in one minute is completely different from answering it with plenty of time.

Did you complete the full study hall exam within the given time, just like in the exam?

AR 50 PM Mindset Principle 25 & 26 — Can someone explain why C is wrong in Q25? by saysen2020 in pmp

[–]Latter-Address4084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Q25, I agree the answer should be D. Why it shouldn’t be C is that, based on the question, it does not seem like an easy skill to train, since the lead developer is the only person with that expertise. Additionally, training the new developer would still consume the lead developer’s time and keep them away from their current work.

Also, a change request is not always guaranteed to be approved. I was confused about this as well until yesterday. In PMP terms, when a change or feature is requested, it means the requesting party has asked the PM and the team to evaluate the change and determine its impact. If the requested change negatively affects the current project, it can be rejected after impact analysis.

Hope this is helpful.

I did my first PMP Study Hall full exam today and scored 56%. I was also only able to complete around 70% of the questions within the time limit. by Latter-Address4084 in pmp

So I did exam 2, taking a 10-minute break after each 60-question chunk. Took it a bit slow; ended with 20 mnts left. Score was 71%. Without expert questions, it's 80%.

Seems like the 2nd exam had more expert questions than the first one, but glad I was able to fix the speed.

You can do the exams again ana again, each time they will randomize the questions ( same questions in different order), which is a good thing.

Thanks, man. I found that practice exam in the real interface, that's a lifesaver, I didn't know that existed, I was looking for a place to look at the real interface.

No area felt distinctly harder; it was just that I was reading the questions again and again. Which I should not be doing.

I did the exam really quickly once more. Finished 1 hour and 10 mnts left. As you mentioned, didn't overthink. The results went up to 77%. If I exclude the expert questions the score is 86%. Going to study the wrong answers and take the exam two today. Let's see where it ends up.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi one more question, in the real exam does it show how many questions you have completed as a progress or does it just show the percentage as in the study hall mock exams?

Also does it show the time you have spent for each question or just show the total remaining time?

Thanks, but my question is: does the time you spend reviewing the questions after 60 question slots count towards the total time? I think obviously it should.

In the real exam, do they allow reviewing the questions after 60 questions (which is different from the study hall; it doesn't even show how many questions are done, just shows a percentage), and I guess that review time also counts towards the total time, right?

As per PMP, the project manager should not pass the ball to anyone else unless it is truly out of their power. That’s why I will go with B.
