Description

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.

I walk you through an example to show how shifting your perspective—from player to conductor—completely changes how you approach questions and situations. Once you stop fighting the question and start thinking like the orchestrator, the right answers become clear.

Tune in to reframe how you think, approach PMP questions with confidence, and start leading like the conductor your team (and your exam) needs.
