What are the types of questions in the Exam?

The PMP® Exam is a four hour, 200 multiple

choice questions exam. It includes different

types of questions such as situational,

knowledge, formula, interpretational, and

ethics based questions. Each question comes

with its own set of challenges and one must

get used to all types of these questions. The

Project Management Institute will examine

one’s ability to analyse, apply informational

logically, and use their mathematical,

management, and leadership skills.

Situational questions test your theoretical knowledge with realistic

situations. In this type of question, you will be given a situation and

asked to find the best answer for that situation. Often these

questions are quite lengthy with relevant and irrelevant information

that the candidate must be able to separate and eliminate.

Situational questions offer choices that will seem reasonable.

However, it is vital that you are able to identify the best option.

Knowledge-based questions test your factual knowledge of the

PMBOK® Guide. In this type of question, you may be asked to select

the correct Input, Tool & Technique, or Output for a given process.

Knowledge based question may also ask you to identify an example

chart or graph, such as recognizing a RACI or Pareto chart. They can

also ask you to identify the meaning of a project management

scenario based on the information provided. These can often be the simple content

based questions that test definitions such as risk, secondary risk,

residual risk, etc. Our app ‘PMP® Exam Mentor’ can be used to

learn, memorise and revise your knowledge of the PMBOK®. The

Formula-based questions test your memorisation and application

of around 50 formulas. You must know both the formula and plug

the values in the formula in order to get the answer. Formula based

questions are really good in multiple-choice PMP® questions. Thus,
