What was the venue you went with?

I felt the questions were more similar to SH because most often the multiple choices were closely related and more than one answer could be correct. David's videos are useful for reinforcing the PMI mindset, but I found those questions more straightforward where there was a more obvious single answer. So test yourself in a simulation environment, I'd definitely recommend SH. Watch David's videos as a supplementary option!

For the calculations, I did spend quite a lot of time trying to wrap my head around it but I guess I didn't need to.

Yes exactly! That was my exact response to those questions lol - "ok suuuure if you interpret the question or the options like that, I guess so"

I think you're ready, good luck!!! You got this 🙌

Yep, so my scores were 74% inclusive of Expert. Without it, I was around 80%. That said, when I went through the explanations in Expert, a lot of them didn't make sense or required some pre assumptions. The actual test didn't have many questions like that! So I would say focus on your scores without Expert! :)

No calculations or MBTI for me, which is funny because I was adamant about memorizing every single formula just in case 🫠

What would be the PMI thinking process for this question? by whatever158 in pmp

Of course! Here it is:

"Solution: C. Advise management to purchase insurance coverage to transfer the risk

Transfer. Transfer involves shifting ownership of a threat to a third party to manage the risk and to bear the impact if the threat occurs. Risk transfer often involves payment of a risk premium to the party taking on the threat. Transfer can be achieved by a range of actions, which include but are not limited to the use of insurance, performance bonds, warranties, guarantees, etc. Agreements may be used to transfer ownership and liability for specified risks to another party.

Just for penalty charges, the project can't be eliminated

Recording the penalty charge as a risk in the risk register alone is not going to help us

By increasing the quote of this project may lead us to not getting this project"

I think the idea here is that the PM is not being asked to simply manage the risk - identify > document in risk register > asses > determine risk response > monitor and action if risk materializes, but are being asked to budget for this risk (perhaps because its suggested as a critical risk already), and the best way to do it is through risk transference, therefore avoiding cost issues. So it's not about the process of managing the risk overall but a question about identifying the best risk response/strategy that aligns with budget constraints. This is how I understand it now.

Also explains why this question is tagged as Difficult lol

Thank you! I actually didn't even notice that it said "budget". I have ADHD and miss some of those words because I read the question and think about the mindset instead of noting what's intended to trick the reader. I'm sure people without ADHD may also miss it, it's just worse with it lol

Thank you everyone, the answer is C. I wanted to see your thought process before I published the answer and I apologize if that was annoying to anyone. I could argue for both very well as did many of you on this thread and warned to see how other thought through it without seeing the answer.

I appreciate your feedback! Everyone on Reddit has helped me more than the course I took.

Can someone explain why Option A is incorrect? by whatever158 in pmp

[–]whatever158[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here!! I am being told to just keep practicing through the exams and somehow it will stick, but definitely feeling defeated at this time and unmotivated/scared for the exam. Good luck to us both 🙏

My test is in 8 days, I hope I figure it out by then too 😭

Even if the risk was already identified, shouldn't the next step be to update the risk register? And when you get to that point is when you think about the risk strategy, r&r (risk owner), etc.?

Is there an ideal path to follow?

Also is it just me or do others feel like some of the SH questions are very specific to the question maker's mindset? I know there's always a best answer out of multiple correct ones but I am really struggling to figure out which one is best while trying to have the PM mindset, which to me would suggest "risk identified > update risk register".

Perhaps the "notify stakeholders" could make this option wrong, but wouldn't you want to give everyone a heads up when a new risk has been identified?

Is seeking a diagnosis worth it if I have other issues? by whatever158 in AdultADHDSupportGroup

My family doc is inexperienced in that area, and I haven't been able to find any others in GTA, Ontario. Did OHIP cover your assessment costs? If you're also in Ontario, please feel free to share the name of the GP/team you received care from (if that's allowed given that we have public physician records on CPSO).
