I am taking practice quizzes for the integration knowledge area only and the percentage of questions from each process group is not even close to what the percentages would be on the exam. Will this be the case when I begin to take the full 200 question exams from all process groups?

Todd,

The quizzes are always randomly generated. So if you take a 20-question quiz on integration, then the simulator will select 20 random questions and present them to you. It disregards the "% per domain" because only the Integration Knowledge Area has processes in all five domains. So if -- for example -- you took a quiz on Schedule Management, the system COULD NOT give you any questions in Initiating, Executing and Closing, simply because Schedule Management is not involved in these 3 domains.

However, the full, 200-question exams #1 - #7 are fully aligned with the exam content outline. Each exam will present the appropriate Domain % to you based on real exam conditions.

So in short: Quizzes are random and Exams are fully aligned.
Until Next Time,
