What's the most difficult question you've faced in a mock exam?
It could be a general topic
It could be a knowledge area
It could be a process group
It could be a particular question that you never got by
It could be a phrase/wording
I want to hear from your experiences... Saving Changes...

To be honest, 75% questions were hard to answer as all four answers seems right. it can make a person freaky ;)
I agree with jenny, risk and change management questions were really hard to answer for me too.
Especially organizational theories, like culture and context theory, and contingency theory. Saving Changes...

The hardest questions for are when ALL the answers seemed right! The risk and change management questions are the worst
A new risk has popped up on your project. This project is halfway through what is your next step,
a. Add the risk to the risk registry
b. Inform your supervisor of the risk
c. Schedule a team meeting to discuss the risk
d. Update the risk management plan
These get me everytime
Jenny, I agree that the worst questions are those that seem to have multiple correct answers, and you're expected to pick the best of the correct answers. There are tips out there to help navigate through these tricky PMP questions. I don't recall them all, but I remember "Never Escalate." So if one of the answers is merely informing a stakeholder, that's not the best answer (even if it's important).
Another tip- on any test- is to avoid absolutes. Any choice that states "always" or "never" is probably incorrect. Saving Changes...
