I made a deal with my employers, they’d provide me time and funding and I’d pass some project management training to help with task related to that role.

I’ve been doing project managment for years already and it’s a subject I am confident in. The course was easy for me since I found one geared towards my learning style.

But I got too confident and suggested I could pass the certification exam. I havnt had an exam since high-school and I did pretty badly at those.

The problem is that the questions are mostly scenerio based and I am taking things too literally, focusing on the wrong detials, or considering things from the wrong perspectives. It’s driving me crazy because I know what I am doing and I have a lot of pressure to succeed, but this poorly written exam could prevent me from achieving it.

Does anyone else have this issue or know any preparation resources I could use to help me intrupet these things better?

    Practice tests. These exams are designed to trip you up so you have to learn the methodology they use to create the questions as much as the material itself. Unfortunately I don’t have better advice I’m not great at certification exams either. I just know practice tests got me through what flashcards and studying the material couldn’t.
