Reddit reviews CompTIA Project+ Practice Tests: Exam PK0-004

Do you mean this?

It's actually in WGU's library for free. Just search for 'Comptia Project' and it'll be one of the first few results.

As for the test, I just recently took it and passed with a score in the mid 800s. The test was frustrating because the questions are worded as vaguely as possible to increase the difficulty. Know what the terms mean and its especially important to know the components of the different phases and plans.

For example, what components make up a scope statement and what phase is it created in. You won't see a question that specific on the test. Instead you'll generally see a vaguer version of something like this, 'You're afraid that work is being done in the project that wasn't part of the original plan. Where would you go to confirm this'.

Also, make sure you know the order of steps in processes, like schedule creation or a change request. Other than that, it's hard to say since each tests' questions are randomized, but I got a decent amount of questions on different types of risks and conflict resolution. Also can recall a few questions on the different chart types and cost/schedule variance calculations, but not that many.

Great, thanks. I do a fair amount of project work already but between our limited capacity, my split responsibilities, and my lack of PM skills I feel like my wheels are always spinning and I'm not doing a great job.

I'm a big believer in offloading as much information as possible to systems designed to manage it, versus using our consistently poor memories and limited brain space, and I have no idea how to do that with projects. I'm hoping PM concepts and systems cater to this.

edit: are these the books you mentioned?
