Hi Pui,
Your question is not clear but from whatever I can make out, your question is how to deal with situation questions in PMP? If that's right, most of the questions are situational and there is a logic behind each question. There could be more than 1 correct answer and best need to be selected. Say for example, a change is requested by customer and impact is both in terms of schedule and cost. I, as Project Manager should control schedule or cost? This will be somewhere in question for example: company cannot take risk on schedule. From preparation point of view, solve as many questions as possible and this would help in getting to right logic.

Dear Andrew, your strategy really help to narrow down the answer to the best one.
Eliminate what you know to be incorrect and make your best attempt at selecting one of the "most correct" answers that remain. If you can identify "where you are" as Andrew mentioned, the odds should be on your side.

Dear Sergio, I have about 20 years in construction field. Hope can get through this.
1. Make sure you read the whole question and know what they are (and are not!) asking for.
2. Put yourself into the mindset of a "large and in charge" PM, regardless of what the power structure is for PMs in your company. That means favoring answers which are action-oriented or proactive over ones where you are "passing the buck".
3. Don't cut corners, skip processes or act with less than full transparency or integrity.
4. Focus on customer satisfaction.
