PM Challenge Suggestion

Carol Whitaker Owner| britVoodie LLC Brevard, North Carolina, United States

I'm using the PM Challenge as a way to practice/prepare for the PMP exam. Couple of suggestions for enhancing the tool:
1. Please include the PMBOK reference for each correct response (Section #, Page #).
2. Please provide explanations/justifications for why a selection is right/wrong, rather than the current format which just regurgitates the wording for the right selection. This would make this resource a powerful teaching/reinforcing aid.
Many thanks.

One additional suggestion/request:
3. Allow us to select questions from 1, 2, 3.....10 knowledge areas to include in our questions list, so as we progress through the learning we can focus on questions specific to the studying we've completed.
Many thanks.

I recently got confirmation that a number of the Qs in the PMChallenge don't directly align with what's in the current version of the PMBOK.

Have to ask the question....... why is THE website for the Project Management Institute not pushing hard to have the utmost rigor in its materials, especially items related to the PMP certification? Each and every question should be directly traceable back to somewhere in the LATEST VERSION OF THE PMBOK.... it sets the bar high and makes PMI and the PMP all the more credible.

Folks may go digging for answers to questions they got wrong or didn't understand and find there isn't a single reference to the item in the PMBOK. Wasted time goose chasing. There's enough stress involved in prepping for the exam, I respectfully request the PMChallenge db be "cleaned" up, and I'd be happy to help with that, after I pass the exam!

Thanks Carol! I heard through the grapevine that one of our members who is working on the PM challenge reached out to you to discuss.

Great suggestions indeed, Carol! I'm also using the PMchallenge to improve my knowledges and I've noticed some flaws with the Q&As as well.

Even though someone has completed all the questions, they should still be allowed to revisit the questions. As of now, this is not the case :( .... NJ
