I have to pass a certification exam and I am terrified. (lemmy.ca)

I made a deal with my employers, they'd provide me time and funding and I'd pass some project management training to help with task related to that role.

I've been doing project managment for years already and it's a subject I am confident in. The course was easy for me since I found one geared towards my learning style.

But I got too confident and suggested I could pass the certification exam. I havnt had an exam since high-school and I did pretty badly at those.

The problem is that the questions are mostly scenerio based and I am taking things too literally, focusing on the wrong detials, or considering things from the wrong perspectives. It's driving me crazy because I know what I am doing and I have a lot of pressure to succeed, but this poorly written exam could prevent me from achieving it.

Does anyone else have this issue or know any preparation resources I could use to help me intrupet these things better?

It's the CAPM, apprently because I went to college over 10 years ago instead of getting a degree I can't get the PMP yet. But I belive there is cards for that one as well. Hopefully the prices are not as insane as the textbooks.

Keep in mind: last I checked, PMI was in the process of transitioning from PMBOK 6th Edition to 7th Edition for exams. 6th Edition was much more based on an explicit linear process, whereas 7th is much more focused on broad non-linear concepts (to better capture Agile methodologies). It'll probably be helpful to review study materials for both.

Yeah practice tests are the way. This isn't the only industry that asks ridiculous questions to keep the passing rate low.
