In PMP Exams, the Situational & Tricky questions constitute a huge part of the questions that could let you fail if you don't have any idea about how to deal with them. A clear strategy you have to follow when you are practicing real exams and when you take the PMP exam itself, below are some guidelines and strategies to follow at the exam:
1. Follow the rule of removing/Eliminating the wrong choices for the questions that you don't know their answer.
Usually, and out of 4 choices, there is at least 1 choice you can easily exclude or remove, and this choice usually is not complying with code of ethics & professional behavior, for example when you find one choice describe a penalty that was done directly by the PM to an employee or the PM has decided to remove a team member away from the project without investigation, such choices shall be considered as a wrong answer.
2. Read the answers first for the long questions.
You will encounter long questions in PMP exam, some of them with more than 9 rows, in these cases start reading the choices first then turn to the question itself, reading the choices in this case will give you an indication on what you have to emphasis and to give more attention, in such questions many extra information are given which you don't need and you will not use them for solving the question, these distracted data can be easily discovered in lengthy questions when you start reading the choices.
3. Answer all questions you see even if you don't know the right answer.
In PMP exam, you can mark the questions that you are not sure if you answered them correctly in order to check them later, Anyway DON'T LEAVE ANY QUESTION WITHOUT ANSWER, in case you are not sure about question(s), just mark them and choose the most suitable choice for you, many PMP students could not check their answers later as the time of the exam is limited and there is a big possibility that you will consume all of the time when you reach to question #200 !!
4. Memorize the ITTO for the 49 processes.
In PMBOK - Version 6, the processes increased up to 49 process, around 12 direct questions in PMP exam are about Inputs, Tools & Techniques and the outputs of these 49 processes, you have to be sure that you are memorizing them before starting the exam.
