PMP exam question format

Submitted by jimmy on Sat, 07/30/2011 - 18:37

 Hi Guys,

Just curious...does the real PMP exam question have choices such as:

'All of the above', 'None of the above', 'Check all that apply', 'All other choices apply'?

or is just 4 distinct real choices and u select just 1?

Thanks.

The questions are very straightforward. None were paragraphs long. Just pick the right answer, not "pick the least false" or other such nonsense. I don't think I saw a single "none of the above" as a choice.  Now there are several questions that will make you scratch your head, because all four choices are something you never heard of (like pick the process you're in -- and NONE of the choices are real processes). And there are several with two answers that are arguably identitical. Don't let that get under your skin -- just brush those off as pre-test questions or part of the 39% you're allowed to get wrong.

The math was easy enough to do in your head. Very simple EV problems. 

Personally, I thought the test, while grueling, was not as hard as everyone (who sells prep materials) tells you. Know your processes, what goes on in each, a few key inputs and outputs and you're good to go.
