Pre-Course Self-Assessment

Use this document alongside The PM PrepCast (www.pm-prepcast.com). It is the

first set of self-assessment sample questions allowing you to test your project
management knowledge before you start studying any of the materials. It also
provides you with a baseline of your PMP exam knowledge.

We recommend that you print this document and take your self-assessment on
paper with a pencil in hand. It should take you no more than 2 hours and 12
minutes to answer all 110 questions. (That’s 1.2 minutes per question, just like
on the “real” exam.)

The document contains the following five sections:

Section 1: Self-Assessment Questions

The difficulty level of these questions is easy to medium. They are
intended to measure your initial understanding of basic project
management concepts.
Don’t write your answers on here. Write them on the answer sheet.

Section 2: Answer Sheet

Use the answer sheet to record your responses and grade
yourself. If you want to take the self-assessment a second time,
just print this page again.

Section 3: Answer Overview

A table with the correct answers to the questions.

Section 4: Answers & Explanations

In this section we repeat the question and then give you the
answer, explanation and a reference where you can read up on
the topic.

As part of The PM PrepCast you not only receive this self-
assessment here, you’ll also receive one for each major module of
the course. That’s 14 self-assessments in total with over 300

Correct answer is C
Explanation: Change Requests are documents requesting any sort of
change to the project baselines. The Change Control Board is the executive
body that reviews these change requests. The Change Control System is a
tool that supports the change control process and is a part of the
Configuration Management System. The question is explicitly asking for the
process name, which is 'Perform Integrated Change Control'. Therefore, the
BEST answer to select is 'Integrated Change Control'. Please note that we
intentionally left out the word 'Perform' in the answer text. With this
omission the answer goes from being 'the only correct answer' to 'the best
available answer' because the other available answers are clearly incorrect.
Sometimes you have to select what is 'best' even though it is not 100%
'correct'.

tools will help Julia acquire the right resources?
A.) Acquisition
B.) Negotiation
C.) Pre-assignment
D.) Virtual teams
Correct answer is B
Explanation: Choices "virtual teams" and "pre-assignment" can easily be
eliminated since they can't help Julia acquire the needed resources.
Acquisition is not recommended since the required resources are available
in-house. The best approach is to negotiate with the functional managers
for the right resources for the project.

Question 32: Your project is behind schedule by two weeks and you have
enough budget to attempt crashing. Task A is not on the critical path, but
at a cost of only $1,000 you will recover two weeks. Task B is on the critical
path and for a cost of $2,000 you will recover one week. Task C is on the
critical path and for a cost of $4,000 you will recover two weeks. Task D is
on the critical path and for a cost of $1,500 you will recover one week.
Which task do you crash?
A.) Task A
B.) Task B
C.) Task C
D.) Task B and Task D
Correct answer is D
Explanation: Crashing is done to shorten the schedule duration for the least
incremental cost. Task A is not on the critical path, therefore crashing will
not improve your schedule even though the question seems to indicate that.
Task C will recover two weeks at a cost of $4,000. Task B & D together will
recover two weeks for $3,500. Therefore D is the cheapest option.

impact (EMV=P*I).
Reference: PMBOK Guide 5th Edition, page 339

Question 36: Analysis shows that your project is behind schedule due to
late delivery of vendor side work packages. You discuss the situation with
your sponsor who instructs you to do your best to get back on target. He
also mentions that there is no additional budget available. Which of the
following is the most appropriate technique to catch up to the schedule in
order to meet the original target date and original budget?
A.) Instruct your team to work overtime
B.) Resource Smoothing
C.) Crashing
D.) Fast Tracking

Question 38: George is planning his new project. The project is very
important to his organization and the project sponsor wants it to be
completed very quickly. After estimating the project activities and their
durations, George develops the project schedule using the activities' most
likely durations based on PERT analysis. The project sponsor is not very
happy with the schedule and wants George to complete the project earlier.
Which of the following options must not be selected by George?
A.) Add more resources to the project activities to complete them earlier.
B.) Adjust the schedule so that some of the activities can be done in parallel
in order to complete the project earlier.
C.) Use the activities' optimistic durations instead of the most likely
durations to compress the schedule.
D.) Request for more funds in order to complete the project earlier.
Correct answer is C
Explanation: George must not implement any workarounds that will mask
the reality of the true project schedule. Using the optimistic durations in
place of the most likely durations will present an unrealistic view of the
project schedule. This type of behavior is opposed to the values dictated by
the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Question 41: Anthony is managing a land reclamation project. He plans to

engage a contractor for the civil works. However, since the exact project
scope is unknown, Anthony is finding it hard to negotiate a fixed price
contract with the contractor company. Anthony wants to have some degree
of control over the project costs. Which of the following contract types is
ideal in this situation?
A.) Cost Plus Incentive Fee
B.) Cost Plus Award Fee
C.) Cost Plus Fixed Fee
D.) Time and Materials

Visit www.pm-prepcast.com for more Exam Resources P a g e | 43

Copyright © 2013 by OSP International LLC. All rights reserved.
Correct answer is D
Explanation: In this scenario, a Fixed Price contract cannot be negotiated
because the exact project scope is unknown. The contractor should be
happy to accept any form of Cost-Reimbursable contract but since Anthony
wants to have some degree of control over the project costs, none of the
Cost Plus contracts is suitable. A Time and Materials contract should be
negotiated in this situation because it balances the risk between the two
parties.

documented as a constraint or risk in your project. What should be your
next action if you want to continue your construction without interruption?
A.) Terminate contract
B.) Update project constraints
C.) Rent equipment from another vendor
D.) Evaluate impact on the project
Correct answer is D
Explanation: In this scenario, non-availability is a risk and first you should
evaluate the impact of the risk on the project. Since this issue was
previously discussed you should negotiate with the contractor. If the
contractor cannot provide the equipment, you should apply your reserves
and rent equipment from another vendor.

highly influential stakeholder. What should you do in this situation?
A.) Remove Stakeholder from the project
B.) Remove Vendor from the vendor list
C.) Communicate potential conflict situation
D.) Conduct Procurements
Correct answer is C
Explanation: It is the responsibility of the project manager to communicate
potential conflict situations even though he is not involved. In this scenario,
the vendor can still bid for the project as long as no preferential treatment is
given. But, project managers should proactively search for potential conflict
situations and disclose them to the appropriate authorities.

Question 49: Your project aims at replacing all of your internal photocopy
machines. You have been given a large set of requirements from the users.
You have evaluated solutions from four vendors and you realize that not
every vendor can satisfy all requirements. There is some risk involved and
you decide to use the Expected Monetary Value method to analyze the
problem. If you just used EMV, which of the following vendors would you
select?
A.) Vendor 1: 80% probability of success and making a profit of $20,000
B.) Vendor 2: 90% probability of success and making a profit of $19,000
C.) Vendor 3: 75% probability of success and making a profit of $18,000
D.) Vendor 4: 85% probability of success and making a profit of $20,000
Correct answer is B
Explanation: Multiplying the probability percentages by the profit will show
that Vendor 1 will get a profit of 0.8 * 20,000 = $16,000; Vendor 2 will get a
profit of 0.9 * 19,000 = $17,100; Vendor 3 will get a profit of 0.75 * 18,000 =
$13,500; and Vendor 4 will get a profit of 0.85 * 20,000 = $17,000. Vendor
2 will provide the highest profit to the project. Note that the question clearly
says "Using only EMV, which of the following vendors would you select?" If
you take other factors into consideration you might not select this one, but
based only on EMV, this is the correct answer.

A.) Escalate the issue to sponsor
B.) Continue working with approved changes
C.) Remove stakeholder from the project
D.) Recommend change control board to stop approving changes
Correct answer is B
Explanation: Since change control board is approving changes, as a project
manager you should implement all approved changes irrespective of
number of changes. If there are concerns related to project, you should
bring those issues to change control board, but you cannot recommend the
board to stop approving changes without a valid reason. Managing
stakeholder expectations in the project is necessary for successful
completion. You should escalate to the sponsor only if you have issues that
cannot be resolved by yourself.

uniquely identify each work package?
A.) Accounting Books
B.) General Ledger
C.) Code of Accounts
D.) Risk Priority Number

Reference: PMBOK Guide 5th Edition, page 531

Question 102: A functional manager is asking you for help in personnel

development for three of her direct reports who are currently working for
your project. Where can you help her best?
A.) Give input regarding salary decisions
B.) Give feedback on their performance
C.) Suggest academic seminars
D.) Recommend career paths
Correct answer is B
Explanation: This is one of those questions, where you have to find “the
best” answer. As a functional manager you have the responsibility to deal
with all four topics presented in these answers. As a project manager you
might certainly address these issues in your discussions, but giving
feedback on their performance as they work on your project team is
certainly the most appropriate selection for you as a project manager.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, pages 22, 23.

Question 103: You are on a team that has five members including you. How
many communication channels do you personally have?
A.) 5

Visit www.pm-prepcast.com for more Exam Resources P a g e | 66

Copyright © 2013 by OSP International LLC. All rights reserved.
B.) 4
C.) 10
D.) 12
Correct answer is B
Explanation: This question is trying to trick you into applying the
communications channel formula. But it isn't needed. Only logic is needed.
The question isn't asking "How many communications channels are there
on the project?" Instead it is asking "How many communication channels do
you personally have?" Therefore, since the team has five members
including you, this means that you are personally communicating with four
other members on the team. Hence you personally have four
communication channels.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, page 292.

Question 104: You are attending a project meeting between the Operations
Director and the CIO. During the meeting the CIO gives you instructions for
your project. Later on you call a team meeting to implement these changes
and you also assign work to the individual team members. What is your
position in the organization?
A.) Project Coordinator
B.) Project Expeditor
C.) Functional Manager
D.) Sponsor
Correct answer is A
Explanation: This situation shows two functional managers discussing a
project. From the instructions that you receive it is obvious that the CIO has
the responsibility on this project. You could be a Project Expeditor or
Project Coordinator. Since you have the authority to assign work directly to
the team, your status is above the expeditor. Therefore you are a Project
Coordinator.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, page 23.

plant close to a neighborhood and gets approvals from the local

D.) Work with them and involve them in the project
Correct answer is D
Explanation: Understanding both positive and negative stakeholders
concerns is an important element in the successful execution of a project.
Ignoring negative stakeholders could cause the project to fail. A project
manager should involve negative stakeholders as early as possible to clear
any issues they might have about the project.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, page 405.

Question 106: What is the primary goal of Project Communications

Management?
A.) Informing stakeholders of the current status of the project
B.) Ensuring that project information is planned, collected, created,
distributed, stored, retrieved, controlled, and disposed in a timely manner
C.) Ensuring the data is accurate and error free
D.) Making relevant information readily available to all stakeholders
Correct answer is B
Explanation: While A and D are definitely part of communications
management, they are not its primary goal. Project Communications
Management includes all processes that ensure that project information is
planned, collected, created, distributed, stored, retrieved, controlled, and
disposed in a timely manner.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, page 287.

Question 107: You are working in a foreign country and you are managing
a sub-project, where you have to submit important documents to be
processed by a government agency. You learn from the project manager
who is a resident of the country that it is customary, legal and expected to
pay an extra 10% of the fee to the government official who is working on
these documents. What is the best thing for you to do?
A.) Only pay the required fee. Don’t pay the extra 10%
B.) Pay both the fee and the extra 10%
C.) Consult the budget
D.) Request assistance from the PMO in your home country
Correct answer is B
Explanation: While customs & fees may be different where you come from,
the local project manager made it clear that the extra 10% is customary,
legal and expected. If it is legal then there is no problem. If it is illegal, then
you should not pay.

the Risk Register. All other options are part of Risk Register.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, pages 327, 343.

Question 109: Your project has just been canceled. What should you do
immediately?
A.) Investigate and document the reasons for termination
B.) Scrap all completed deliverables
C.) Release unused budget
D.) Ensure that project results are handed off to other projects
Correct answer is A
Explanation: You have a professional responsibility to hold Lessons
Learned Meetings, especially “if the project yielded less than desirable
results”. The other answers are also “somewhat” correct, but in this
instance Option A is “the best” answer. In the lessons learned meeting, you
should investigate and document the reasons for early termination.
Reference: PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition, pages 101, 103.

Question 110: Who of the following is the Project Sponsor?

A.) Susan who approves the Project Budget
B.) Jim who negotiates contracts with all the vendors
C.) Frank who is the CEO and Chairman of the Board
D.) Marjorie who is your primary customer and chair of the Change Board

resources to the project. The sponsor should be able to procure funding
and commit resources to the project.
