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...
All questions can be challenging... depending on how good one can be with the topic or the concept covered by the question

For me, it is the questions that appear (at first) to have nothing to do with your exam. Like this sample exam question;
A production process has been defined as part of an industrial equipment manufacturing project. The process is intended to produce steel bolts with a length of 20 cm.
The control limits are 19.955cm and 20.045cm.
The measurements made at the end of the process yielded the following results:
20.033cm, 19.982cm, 19,995cm, 20.006cm, 19.970cm, 19.968cm, 19.963cm, 19.958cm, 19.962cm, 19.979cm, 19.959cm.
What should be done?
A)The process is under control. It should not be adjusted.
B)A special cause should be investigated, the process should be adjusted.
C)The control limits should be adjusted.
D)The measuring equipment should be recalibrated.

Hi, Mr. Frechette,
I think below is the correct answer as for already defined control limits are 19.955cm and 20.045cm, & all observations are in limit and as desired. So, why to do more analysis.
1)The process is under control. It should not be adjusted. (It is a correct answer)
This question is related to pmp and quality control

If more than 6 consecutive measurements are below or above the mean, then the process is out of control. This is called The Rule of Seven. Its a very relevant PMP question
