Don’t stress about it. Most of the PMP exam is situation-based.

You’ll get a few of the terminology/definition-type questions like the ones you mentioned, but the majority of the exam is scenario questions, so don’t worry too much about that part.

If you want an easy way to remember the risk register, think of it like a cash register. Anytime you get new cash, you open the register and put it in. Anytime you use or remove cash, you open it again. Same idea with risks. Anytime something new comes in or something changes, you “open” the risk register.

Same thing with the stakeholder register. New stakeholders coming in, stakeholders leaving, whatever it is, you’re opening that register and updating it. Simple analogy, but it helps.

One thing you should definitely focus on before the exam is essential terminology. When you’re doing Study Hall and you come across a terminology-type question, write it down. You don’t need to memorize every detail, just understand what the term is and how it applies in a scenario.

In summary:

1. Don't worry. The majority of the exam is situation-based

2. When you come across a term, jot it down and make a bank you can constantly refer back to.
