There's been a few threads about not just lack of alignment to Sixth Edition but fundamental errors with the answers to some of the questions against even the Fifth Edition.
Perhaps there might be the willingness on the part of the administrators to allow crowd-sourcing of the QC on these - if each of the frequent contributors to the community reviewed 50 questions, we'd have them cleaned up in no time...

This has been an ongoing, often resurfaced topic. Several suggestions have been presented, and not solely around the questions, but ways to improve the community in general, including opening up administration capabilities to leading members (if they want it).
But yes, there are discrepancies in the questions. If preparing for the PMP, use the PMBOK, Rita (a favorite of this community), and a question bank from a reputable source - yes I realize the irony there. Saving Changes...

I haven't noticed, probably because I've never read the PMBOK (to boring) haha. Rita's book is what got me through the PMP exam. Much more entertaining and not nearly as dry as the PMBOK. Saving Changes...

They don't match...... it references 5th edition sections that don't exist.
I have an inordinate amount of questions that are in define process..... in particular Cost and Time Management. I rarely see questions out of the bank that are different sections. Anyone know why that could be? Saving Changes...

Someone invited me to try that once and the questions didn't resemble the PMP exam at all from my recollection.
