PMP : Real Question Vs Projectmanagement.com Question
JUBAIR BIN HAIDERSub Divisional Engineer| Public Works Department (PWD)Dhaka, Bangladesh
I heard PMP exam question are mostly situation , thus most questions are very Bulky . whereas most of the question of Projectmanagement.com are Non situational and One Liner .
My question is should i stop solving this website ? need advice from recent test taker Saving Changes...
In addition i would say, that the pm.com questions are NOT PMP exam sample questions for preparation purposes.
If you are searching for better prep sources please refer to this guide here:

The questions on projectmanagement.com are meant to reinforce what you've learnt and a good way to revise and to refresh your memory.
The real exam is more scenario based but your knowledge of basic concepts such as the ones focused on in the questions on projectmangement.com will help you to solve the situational questions. Saving Changes...

There are a number of great test prep books with questions that are more similar to what you would find on the PMP certification exam. Rita Mulcahy has really good test prep books. One is: PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition - Updated: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam. Aileen Ellis has one more focused - How to get every Earned Value question right on the PMP® Exam: 50+ PMP® Exam Prep Sample Questions and Solutions on Earned Value Management.
Yes, keep practicing PMChallenge from this website, these are direct questions and sometimes twisted, as said it will help you refresh your memory. It's quiet interesting too. Saving Changes...

Jubair, I am like you currently studying to sit for my PMP Exam. I believe you need to do the following:
1- Read the PMBOK 5th Edition (It reinforces your knowledge of the standard)
2- Answer the PMChallenge 1000 Questions (It helps you memorize what you've learned from PMBOK but does not give you the real feel of the exam from practical point of view).
3- Study thouroughly the PMP Exam Prep for Rita Malcahy 8th Edition Updated.
4- Solve some simulation exams, it will give you a feel of the exam so you won't be surprised when you sit for the exam.
At the end of the day, if you have the experience combined with the above, you should easily pass the exam.
Hope this helps. Saving Changes...

Hi, yes agree with Jubair..
During my experience with PMP, although it is situational based, experience plus knowledge of PMBOK would be fine. Rita Mulcahy provides a good book to study and revise from. Make sure u are clear on the inputs, outputs and tools/methodology.
As mentioned by Rami, practice simulation questions as much as u can. It is a 4 hour paper but multiple choice. Good luck! Saving Changes...

Forgot to add that the Cost Control and projections are quite important, have a good understanding on how u measure progress, i.e. CV, SV, CPI/SPI and also project based on current performance how the project will end.. i.e. ETC etc.
Quite a few questions come from this, and normally they are straightforward if u get your formulae right..
Also, Jan 2016 PMP exam changes in format and syllabus, if I am not wrong they added tasks that focus on stakeholder mgt and procurement mgt.. so do check that viz a viz your exam date Saving Changes...

I would suggest use Exam Simulator to check your preparation level. Once you finish up studying PMBOK + any other book, take chapter wise test and see if you score 80%. Otherwise go back and read the chapter again. Then take your mock test and register for the exam :) .. Good Luck! Just remember "best" answer may not be right answer ... make sure you understand the scenario and stick to the relevant guideline from PMBOK ( even if apparently in few cases may seem not so practical at first instance) Saving Changes...
