retake (or rather, we began with) the adventures of our hero, Pedro Manuel Páez. The pilot episode can see here .
Pedro Manuel was determined to be PMP. Had spent many years working on projects and knew for certain that obtain certification from the PMI would significantly raise its profile. But ... Where do you start?. He had had some conversations with colleagues about certificates, and the feeling was of a very difficult task ahead. Of course, difficult is not synonymous with impossible, thought Peter. And they set in motion.
"Perhaps the first thing I know is how appropriate is the test," he thought. His real life experience will credited to learn everything they could find their way would be, at least, something seen or ever heard. Utiizaba not always a WBS, for example, but of course knew what it was. Standing from there, began to investigate, with the help of Internet, what was it that the review would ask.
found hundreds of pages. How to Stay? Beyond this reasonable doubt, he noticed a site called Project Blog Pemepé . There he found a note on what I was looking, original U.S. and translated by Juan Carlos Gonzalez, one of those responsible for the blog.
lowered the note and read:
Practice all types of questions to pass the certification exam as a Project Management Professional (PMP)
original article "Practice All Question Types to Pass the PMP Exam.
Written by Cornelius Fichtner, PMP

Translated and adapted by Juan Carlos González, PMP
Any person who took the exam Project Management Professional (PMP) know that by studying the PMBOK Guide and obtaining the 35 hours of training is not enough.
will tell you that the questions are a lot of information and questions are not straightforward as one might suppose. Of those who passed the exam, a large percentage will say they used more than one method of study.
Those who apply for the examination must learn what are the mechanisms to review and what to expect when the time comes so desired.
Be able to answer questions is crucial to succeed with the test. Simple, right? After de todo el examen sólo tiene preguntas múltiple choice. Sin embargo, hay una variedad de estilos de preguntas. Cada una tiene su propósito, lo cual hace que saber como obtener lo máximo de cada pregunta sea crucial.
Veamos los diferentes tipos de preguntas:
• FORMULA
Las preguntas basadas en FORMULAS son más que calcular el Valor Ganado. Hay aproximadamente 49 fórmulas que conocer con precisión. Entender profundamente el significado de cada una de ellas le dará los elementos necesarios para responder las preguntas correctamente.
• SITUATIONAL
SITUATIONAL questions test your ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real life situations within the Project Management. Generally, these questions tend to be very long. The idea behind this is that in real life you must handle both important and irrelevant information. Your task is to identify what is relevant, ignore what is not and therefore act on the real issues. Be sure to read and identify the real question and may delete information that is irrelevant.
often SITUATIONAL questions you have two options that are reasonably accurate, so it is vital to identify if you are asking for the BEST, NEXT, EXCEPT, or only option.
• KNOWLEDGE
The knowledge-based questions require you to identify the meaning of the situation based on the understanding that is made of the facts provided. Occasionally ask, "What is the exception?", Such as "brainstorming groups favor all the following except."
They can also asked to identify a figure such as a RACI chart or a Pareto chart.
• Interpretation
These questions test your ability deductively from the description of the status of a problem. For example: If your project has a SPI and CPI both greater than one, how you're doing the same. " To resolve this, you need to know how the SPI and CPI are related to project performance.
• specific techniques
This type of question shows a picture of a situation, for example, a network diagram, and asks for items that are inherent in the diagram, such as the "way forward" or "way back."
• Knowledge of PMBOK GUIDE
They test their familiarity with specific areas, such as, "Which of these processes is not part of Process Group Home?" Or " What is an entry in the WBS process? "
many examples are needed to answer each question type before it is able to take the exam.
There are many free sample questions available on the Internet. However, you must be very careful because most of the free tests available are old. Unfortunately the old adage applies "You get what you pay for"
The best way to practice is by registering online simulator. It can be accessed from anywhere at any time. Make sure the questions have been created using the latest version of the PMBOK guide. The universe of questions should have the right mix of all types of questions above, both to cover all the topics the PMBOK.
Therefore, if you pass, you need to learn about the different types of questions in the exam and practiced with a simulator online high quality. Once you are able to identify what is really the question, will increase greatly the probability of answering correctly. It may sound simplistic, but is not a trivial task, because you have to apply all the necessary theoretical knowledge combined with his experience in Project Management and related to the question at issue.
"Wow ... this is a challenge," thought Peter Manuel. "But I may." Thus was begun the process for the PMP Certification. The next step is to figure out what needed to implement the review and what material could help prepare according to what I knew I would need, in line with the article you just read.
For every path, however long that is, always take the first step ...
