I recommend you to also write out any terms or concepts you might not be clear with or got wrong in a practice exam so you can revise and improve your knowledge in the area. This will help you use the process of elimination for questions that you don’t know an answer for.Īfter I did my initial studying and started taking exams I created the below study notes which I would revise before each exam and then add new concepts I might have mixed up during the practice exam. You will not be asked to derive definitions in the PMP© exam as its a multiple choice but being able to identify what a term or concept is used in relation to.
There are loads of terms and concepts to learn when it comes to project management and particularly for PMP.
