Test Techniques
Write down all formulas, numbers and acronyms before you start
Multiple choice, one question in one page, read the question and ALL the
answers, choose the BEST answers
Keep notes about difficult questions and mark the questions for future review
Sometimes we just guess one answer and go to next question if we do not know
the contents. Dont spend time on this kind of question.
Use elimination, only ONE answer is best and correct
Rank the answers by correctness or always true
Look for highlighted qualifiers such as BEST, FIRST, EXCEPT, MOST,
GREATEST, MAJOR, NOT, NEVER, ALWAYS
Look for PMBOK phrases
Ask yourself what would PMBOK say BEFORE experience
If unsure of the answer, guess an initial answer, it is better than no answer.
There is no penalty for wrong answers
Use 2.5-3 hours to complete the test and spend the rest of the time to review the
answers which marked for future review
There is Previous, Next, Mark, End of EXAM icon, final counting time is on the
right upper corner, Exit icon is on right lower corner (TW only)
