Welcome
Thank you for selecting SSI Logic’s PMP® Exam Prep – Questions,
Answers, and Explanations for your Project Management Professional
(PMP)® study needs. The goal of this book is to provide condensed mock
exams and practice tests which allow you to become comfortable with the
pace, subject matter, and difficulty of the PMP exam.
The content in this book is designed to optimize the time you spend studying
in multiple ways.
1. Practice exams in this book are condensed to be completed in one hour;
allowing you to balance your time between practice tests and offline
study.
2. Passing score requirements in this book are slightly higher than the real
exam; allowing you to naturally adjust to a higher test score
requirement.
3. Practice exams included in this book cover the entire scope of the PMP
exam, while shorter quizzes focus only on specific Knowledge Areas
outlined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) — Sixth Edition.
The practice exam content in this book is structured into two general types of
exam preparation:
• “Lite” Mock Exams, which allow you to test your knowledge
across condensed versions of the PMP exam; designed to be
completed within one hour.
• Knowledge Area Quizzes, which reflect brief practice tests focused
on specific Knowledge Areas outlined in the PMBOK® Guide,
designed to be completed in 15 minutes.

This book reflects the updated version of the PMP exam put into place
worldwide starting March 26, 2018. While many refinements have been

Please note: The PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition is the definitive
reference text for the PMP certification exam.
To accommodate the updated exam content, this book has been revised
