Course Organization

Each lesson is organized in the same way:

  • An introductory video by the course's author, Rita Mulcahy, who describes the significance of the lesson's subject to the exam-taker, and provides examples and tips on what to focus on to be successful.

  • The interactive tutorial that describes and defines the project management terms and principles of each knowledge area using interactive games, tips and tricks.

  • A scored multiple-choice quiz that checks your understanding of the topics covered in the tutorial and provides feedback and analysis after each question.

  • Hot Topics - a timed and audio-narrated deck of flashcards test your ability to quickly respond to the wide range of questions that you can expect to see on the timed exam.

  • A timed, 200-item final exam at the end of the course provides an example of what to expect on the real PMP exam.
