NEW PMI-PMP (PMBOK7) Free Questions and Answers


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.

In this post, there are 12 questions, which you can try.  
To answer these PMBOK7 questions, you need to have: 
  • 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.

20 NEW PMI-RMP Multi-Response Free Questions and Answers (Part - 1)



The Risk Management Professional (RMP®) exam from PMI® has various types of questions, including the multi-response questions. Indeed, if you are appearing for the latest RMP exam in 2024 and beyond, then you will face both multi-choice and multi-response questions. There is a subtle difference between the two.

Multi-choice questions: There will be four radio-button choices. ONLY one of the choices will be correct. I call it single-response, multi-choice question. These questions are relatively not that difficult. But considering PMI, the standard will be high. 

Multi-response questions: There will be usually five choices with check-boxes on the left, where you can select the right answers. In this case, there will be more than one correct answer. I call these multi-response, multi-choice questions. These are also called mutli-answer questions. These questions, compared to multi-choice questions, will be relatively difficult. 

These questions are taken from the following courses and book:

To answer these questions, you need to have:

  • Understanding of the Standard for Risk Management in Portfolios, Programs and Project. This is the main reference for the RMP exam.
  • Understanding on the concepts of uncertainties, complexties, ambiguities and risks from both PMBOK Guide 7th edition and PMBOK 6th edition. Yes, PMBOK 7th edition is an explicit reference for the latest RMP exam!
  • Ability to apply your understanding in the real-world in a varieties of situations and scenarios.
  • Good understanding of the PMI-RMP exam content outline (ECO), the latest one released in March/April 2022.

In this part, we will have 10 such multi-answer/response (or multi-response, multi-choice) questions. 

You will be seeing such questions for the first time. As noted earlier, RMP exam takers are already facing such questions. 

I hope you enjoy doing the questions and it helps in your PMI-RMP exam.
