These PMI-PMP questions are all from PMBOK Guide, 7th edition. These are based on my years of teaching project management practitioners from different industry verticals.
For over a decade, I've the privilege to teach, interact, and learn from thousands of aspiring PMPs. There have been many successful PMI-PMPs. As interact with them, I also learn the kind of questions being faced. Without them, it'd not have been possible.
This is in continuation of the following posts:
PMBOK7 Practice questions and answers are also available in the PMP Exam Prep Book, I Want To Be A PMP, which has enabled many PMP Success Stories.
- Sound understanding of the PMBOK® Guide, 7th edition. All the questions are from PMBOK7.
- Ability to apply that understanding in situational, scenario-based and contextual environments,
- Real-world project management experience.
As mentioned earlier, this also addresses the need of many professionals who have requested me to put some sample PMP questions so that can proceed with the PMP Live Lessons or PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course or PMP Exam Prep Book. All of these have recently updated with PMBOK7 content.
I hope you enjoy attempting these questions and it helps in your preparation for the PMP exam.
