Questions based on changes post 11 Jan 2016

[pmp_learner]

Hi Manish/Saket,

I just took one of the assessment test from quampus for "Questions based on changes post 11 Jan 2016 - [XSP/50601P/1]".. It totally went above my head.. just wondering if I am missing anything here. Was this really a part of PMP course? I have gone through izenbridge course nearly twice, skimmed through Rita and PMBOK, have been doing OK with other assessment tests. Still for this test I found hardly 30-40% familiar of what I have studied so far... so wanted to check with you if I am missing anything here.. If this is part of PMP preparation, could you please suggest what do I need to study and what course material you would recommend.

Thanks for your help.
Regards
Kavita

Hi Kushal,
To answer your following query

If you filter the assessment tests by "mixed topic" you will find the test I am talking about.
Regarding PMBOK 5 or 6, it really depends... If you planning to give test in or after 2nd qtr next year, I would suggest you to get PMBOK 6.. Otherwise go for PMBOK 5..
Anyways no harm in downloading both the versions for you and decide which version of Exam you wanna go for
Thanks
Kavita

Thanks Kavita. I did not know that, I will check on this.

I intend to give my exam in nov last week and am a member of PMII(enrolled fortnight ago), My question is the edition given to me(complementary copy of PMBOK 5) will cover the changes made after 11th jan 2016?

Hi Kushal,
I don't think they made any changes to the PMBOK 5 contents.. They just updated the exam, where emphasis was given on a few topics.. These topics are covered in Saket's video.

Hope this helps.

hi manish

I have gone through Saket sirs videos however the question asked were something which was not covered. for instance in the mixed topics test there is a question on NPS which i believe was not discussed in the videos.

Is it possible for you to share which areas in PMBOK should one read for the need assessment?
