No, you can't select how many questions you answer before the break. It is only the option after the first 90 questions, and once you take the break, you can't return to these 90 questions for review.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience on taking the exam.
I'm curious about the 10-minute break after 90 questions. Is the 90 questions pre-defined as the first part of the exam before a break? Or is there an option to set how many questions before you take a break? Thanks. |

I started preparation for PMP in mid-March 2020 and passed the online exam on June 12. It took me almost 3 months to prepare, with 1 hour of daily preparation on average. I believe this is an optimal preparation timing: less might be not enough while more will tend toward over-studying.
Believe it or not, I've never fully read PMBOK. I only read parts of it when I had specific questions on specific terms, conditions, situations, etc. PM Prep Cast videos, as well as multiple YouTube materials and practice questions available on different sites, were enough to realize my gaps and work on closing them out. When I did the PM PrepCast pre-course assessment, I scored 40% on the first 10 questions. This is where I started my preparations back in March. I continuously studied and kept increasing my numbers and my confidence. During my last mock exam (Exam #3, took on June 5), I scored 86.5%. On the real exam, my overall score and the score for all knowledge areas except Closing was Above Target. For the Closing knowledge area, I scored Below Target - which is quite interesting, as I scored 100% (15/15) for questions in the Closing area on my last mock exam and felt pretty confident. Exam questions were not easy. If you tried PM PrepCast Simulator, you can expect about the same or even more challenging. There were many of them that were quite ambiguous - I would even try to relieve my stress by thinking, "This must be one of those 25 experimental questions that don't count" Around a dozen questions were about Agile but quite strangely worded, too. Surprisingly, there were quite a few questions on the benefits management plan. There was only 1 question that required calculation. Some additional notes on the online exam (Pearson):
The tutorial to fill in the PMP application was very helpful: www.project-management-prepcast.com/how-...-the-pmp-application . Just note that PMP application requirements ask for a minimum of 3 years of project management experience AND 4,500 hours spent leading and directing projects. It's not OR. Please pay attention that both conditions must be fulfilled. It's not highlighted in this tutorial, and I stumbled on this step when filling up my PMP application. Good luck with your preparations for getting PMP certified! |
