☎️ Want to get unstuck and finally pass the PMP exam? Text me at 757-759-5282 and let’s talk about a real strategy that works. If you’ve been managing projects for years and still can’t seem to crack those mock exams… this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m calling out a trap I see all the time — especially with experienced pros. It’s the eye-roll. The dismissiveness. The moment you see a tricky scenario and say, “Oh, this is just a PMI question,” like you’ve outsmarted the system. But here’s the truth: that mindset is blocking your growth — and possibly your passing score. We’ll break down: Why experienced professionals struggle more than they expect What “PMI question” really means (and why it’s not the insult you think it is) How to stop dismissing and start decoding the exam The shift that helped my students jump 10–15% on mock scores in just one week It’s time to stop fighting PMI and start speaking their language — so you can pass the exam and actually become the leader they’re trying to build.
