Method of Tackling the PMP Exam

• Answer the questions from PMI’s perspective and not the perspective you have acquired from your life experience
• Watch for the words “except”, “includes”, “not an example of” , read the question carefully and understand what the question is asking.
• Practice reading the question and all four choices when you take the practice exam.
• Eliminate quickly 2 obviously incorrect answers and get 2 plausible answers to get to the best answer faster.
• There may be more than one “correct” answer to each question but only one “Best” answer. Practice looking for best answer.
• Do not follow the old rule that the longest answer is the right one.
• Look for distracters which distract you from the right answer.
• Clearly read the question. Look for words like “fist”, “last”, “next”, ”best”, “never”, “always”, “except”, ”not”, “most likely”, “less likely”,, “primary”, “initial”, “most” etc.
• Watch out for choices that are true statements but not the answer to the question.
