PMP is a PMI certification with approximately 180 questions in 230 minutes. The table below shows the exam weighting published for each domain, so you can decide where to spend your study time instead of working through the syllabus in order.
| Domain | Exam weight | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Process | 50% | Plan and manage project work |
| People | 42% | Manage conflict, lead team, support team performance |
| Business Environment | 8% | Support organizational change |
A passing study plan usually trails the weighting: spend the most sessions on Process (50%), then check the next domain down before moving on. If your accuracy on a high-weight domain stays under 80%, more practice there is worth more than another pass at a low-weight topic.
These questions come from the PMP practice bank. Read the rationale even when you answer correctly — the explanation is usually where the exam technique lives.
A whistleblower alleges safety shortcuts on the project. Investigation is pending. Team morale fractures along allegiance lines. The team is capable of solving the problem, provided that the project manager creates clarity about priorities, boundaries, and the evidence needed for a decision. What should the project manager do?
Answer: A. Option A is correct: “Follow organizational ethics procedures, protect confidentiality, avoid retaliation, and communicate process-bound updates to the team.” Ethics procedures and non-retaliation protect safety and integrity. Premature dismissal undermines investigation. Punishing discussion may violate policy. This choice addresses the stated PMP decision through accountable action and current evidence; the alternatives either bypass needed analysis, assign authority incorrectly, or create avoidable delivery and stakeholder risk.
A project team's morale has dropped after a reorganization. The project manager wants to improve motivation and is considering a set of changes. Which change is most likely to improve satisfaction according to motivation-hygiene theory?
Answer: B. Option B is correct. Motivation-hygiene theory distinguishes motivators such as achievement, recognition, and meaningful work from hygiene factors such as salary and working conditions; improving motivators builds genuine satisfaction. Option A is incorrect because salary and working conditions are hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction but do not create lasting motivation. Option C is incorrect because clarifying rules addresses hygiene and does not by itself motivate. Option D is incorrect because increased supervision is not a motivator and can undermine autonomy.
A key influencer stakeholder opposes the project quietly, spreading concerns in hallway conversations rather than formal forums. Success measures include adoption and operational readiness, not merely finishing tasks, so the response must consider the intended business outcome. What engagement tactic helps?
Answer: B. Option B is correct: “Build a trusted relationship through one-on-one meetings to understand concerns and address them with evidence and options.” Trusted dialogue surfaces concerns early for resolution. Informal influence matters. Public confrontation escalates resistance. This choice addresses the stated PMP decision through accountable action and current evidence; the alternatives either bypass needed analysis, assign authority incorrectly, or create avoidable delivery and stakeholder risk.

The PMP exam is organised into 3 domains: Process (50%), People (42%), Business Environment (8%). The weighting above shows how much of the exam each domain represents, so budget study time in the same proportion.
The PMP exam has approximately 180 questions in 230 minutes, with a passing score of 700. Practice sets here are scored the same way as the real exam so you can see whether you are above or below the line before test day.
Start with Process, the highest-weighted domain, then work down the list. Answer a mixed set after each domain pass — mixing domains forces you to identify what a question is asking before recalling the content, which is what the real exam does.
No. These are original practice questions written against the published PMP exam objectives. They mirror the style, difficulty, and domain weighting of the real exam, but the actual exam content is confidential and is not reproduced here.
