What if you get audited for your exam?

What if you get audited for your PMP Exam?

This lesson is all about the PMI audit process because there is a very slight chance that anyone applying for a PMI certification will have their application audited. These audits help maintain the high regard of PMI certifications. We will look at the audit process itself, discuss why the audits are performed at all, how to proactively prepare for such an event and that you shouldn’t really worry about it too much and apply your energy to your studies instead.

Striking out options on practice tests

Let's help our forum member answer his question:

"When using PMP Exam Simulator, I like the way I can strike out options that I have eliminated as being incorrect with a right-click. However, it is easy to overly rely on this technique.

If the actual exam does not have this feature, it's risky to get used to the extraordinary convenience and efficiency this feature provides.

Does the actual exam allow one to strike out options?"

Student Profile: Kingsley Akana, PMP

"...My study routine in the last 3 days involved practising the 7 mock exams from your website and going back to look at my answers and the ones I missed and read it through to understand why I missed them so I wouldn't miss them again. The night before the exam, I made sure I had a good night sleep to allow the brain to refresh and sync in everything I have learnt. This is very vital to avoid having sore head or losing your confidence."
