If you need help with PMP questions and you want to pass the PMP exam, call me, Scott, at 757-759-5282 and we’ll talk through a plan for you.

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest mistakes smart professionals make when tackling PMP exam questions: they fight the system. Instead of stepping into the role of a project leader, they slip back into an individual contributor mindset—arguing about how unrealistic the question is, or how the team “should have done it differently.”

But on the exam, and in real project management, your job isn’t to nitpick the system. Your job is to conduct the orchestra.
