This PMP exam tip is brought to you by our PMP Exam Coach - Dan Ryan, PMP
Recently, I had a student who had problems with the Earned Value questions on the PMP Exam. She would start doing a practice test and she would be getting into a nice rhythm when all of a sudden a complex math problem would pop up and she would totally lose her pace. So she decided to try
something.
Everytime she saw a earned value or computation question pop up she would immediately click “Mark for Review” and move on to the next question and in this way she would keep up a good pace of completing the PMP questions quickly. This allowed her to not fall behind on the number of questions that she had completed.
Then, at exactly one hour out from the 4 hour completion mark, she went to these questions that were marked
and did all of them one after the next until they were all done and then finished whatever other ‘regular’ questions were remaining. She swears that this helped her greatly and she did go in and use this on the PMP exam and she did pass. Maybe consider trying this out when you are practicing and see if this works for you.
