KNOWLEDGE based questions in PMP require you to identify the meaning of the situation based on your understanding of the facts provided. You will be provided with data that you have to analyze to find the correct answer. You’ll be tested on your proficiency to understand a concept well enough to identify the correct variable or course of action.
These questions also occasionally have wording such as, “What is the exception?” or “Group brainstorming encourages all of the following except…”. They will often ask you to identify an example chart, graph, special circumstance, variable, or application of a concept.
These questions also occasionally ask which processes belong to which Knowledge Area, or which Inputs, Tools & Techniques, or Outputs go with which process. Sometimes you are asked to identify an example chart or graph, such as recognizing a RACI or Pareto chart.
The knowledge-based questions are majorly based on the PMBOK® Guide or the concepts of project management. These questions are asked to test your knowledge of ITTOs, inputs, outputs, tools, techniques, etc. If the PMBOK® Guide has been followed properly, then the candidates can handle the majority of these questions without facing much trouble.
