How do you like the sound of having your own study coach for the PMP exam for only $39.99?

Pretty amazing, right? The PM Study Coach can do that!

The PM Study Coach is your GPS to the PMP Exam. Over the course of 10 weeks you will receive a series of 14 recorded coaching sessions and supplemental study materials. In this way you follow a proven study approach that thousands have followed before you. You'll know exactly what to do. Day after day. Week after week.

The PMP Exam is not an easy exam. You have to find the correct answer to 200 multiple choice questions within 4 hours. That's just 1.2 minutes for each. And sometimes it looks like more than one of them are correct.

In this free episode of The PM PrepCast we discuss 2 concepts and 4 techniques of how to approach questions and finding the "best" answer. This episode is a good example of a series of episodes in which we discuss study tips and tricks. We empower you.

One of the more important steps in preparing for the PMP exam is to schedule your exam date as soon as you meet all the eligibility requirements.

This will give you a specific date toward which you can work. Now you have deadline - a big red "X" on your calendar - and this will motivate you in your studies.

If you don't have the date scheduled you can always find excuses for not studying and delaying things. But having the date in your mind and calendar will drive you to study regularly...

You are managing a construction project. Your civil supervisor is responsible for inspecting daily operations and communicating his observations to your documentation officer, who then produces a daily work status report and distributes it to the project stakeholders. Today your documentation officer is on leave, and you ask your civil supervisor to prepare the status report. Your civil supervisor does not like your documentation officer and does not want to perform any of the documentation officer's tasks for him. However, you ask him do this as a favor to you and in return he can submit one of his own reports that is due today by the end of the week. Which conflict resolution strategy you have used?

A. Withdrawing
B. Compromising
C. Forcing
D. Confronting

Hint: You are trying to satisfy your disgruntled employee by offering a compromise.
