One of the sample quizzes had no question 23 and an answer for the question 23.

There are more noticable errors but I didn't start keeping track until the end.

Note from the Author or Editor:
fixed in the third edition

The note beginning "Here's where you put all..." at the very end is missing an end parenthesis.

Sentence reads "... cookie process are the PMBOK(R) Guide Knowledge ares."

"ares" was changed to "areas"

The note begins "The processes are...", in the second to the last line 'organize' is misspelled.

the "Project Description" should be in Bold

the "Project Description" should be in Bold

For clarity, an annotation was added under the last answer that reads:

"The CEO and VP of Asia Travel are paying for this project in the sense that they're providing funding for the project team at the travel agency and cutting checks to the airlines, hotels, tour groups, etc. The customers are definitely paying Acme Travel, but they're not paying out the budget for the specific work that has to be done to complete the project."

"Theteachers" should be "The teachers", "Justas" should be "Just as", and "Oneof" should be "One of"

"Theteachers" should be "The teachers", "Justas" should be "Just as", and "Oneof" should be "One of"

128, in question 3 answer D should be "Forecasts".

- The picture on p176 has two problems. On the left-hand side, there are
three icons. The one for the scope management plan needs to be replaced
with a small picture of the WBS dictionary (from p174). On the
right-hand side, the polaroid photo needs to be changed in the same way.
The text is actually correct, it's just the illustration that's wrong.
The picture of the polaroid needs to be changed on pages 177, 185, and
483 as well.

The third output says: Implemented Change Request, or Defect Repair Preventative or Corrective Action.

Should be Preventive and not Preventative

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change "Preventative" to "Preventive" and removed comma after word

18. Answer: B
The work performance information is documented as part of Direct and Manage Execution... That?s why it?s an input to Monitor and Control Project Work...

The work performance information is an input to the Perform Integrated Change Control process of Monitor & Control.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Replace "Monitor and Control Project Work" with "Integrated Change Control" in the explanation to question 18

"Once the work is complete, you're going have to make ..." should be "you're going to have to make ..."

"Once the work is complete, you're going have to make ..." should be "you're going to have to make ..."

The following note should be added to page 238: "There are two more
outputs -- requested changes (for change control) and a resource
breakdown structure, which is a hierarchical chart (like a WBS) that
shows all your project's resources." And the sidebar on the bottom
should have "Almost All" added to the beginning: "Almost all of the
outputs of Activity Resource Estimating are immediately..."

The "Requirements Management" should go for CGW III (as the 3 other examples p 172-173)

In the Picture that explains the Sequence Activities Process, the word Knowing is spelled incorrectly as knowning. The incorrect text is as follows:

"Knowning the full scope of the project helps Kathleen be sure she?s
got all of the activities needed to do the work"

It should be

"Knowing the full scope of the project helps Kathleen be sure she?s
got all of the activities needed to do the work"

Hope you rectify it in the next version

and C should swap places, as should the Finish sections of the first two lines.

In Bullet 3:

Uh-oh! Activity C has two predecessors. Which one do you use to calculate EF? Since C can?t start until
both B and D are done, use the one with the latest EF.

That means you need to figure out the EF of activity D (its ES is 1, so its EF is 1 + 2 = 3). <---this
should be "EF is 1 + 2 - 1= 2" It appears correctly as 2 in the sentence after the next.

Now you can move forward to Activity C and calculate its EF. The EF of Activity D is 2, which is smaller
than B?s EF of 11, so for Activity C the ES = 11 + 1 = 12, and EF = 12 + 7 - 1 = 18.

it's indicated as a duration of 8 in all other areas.

The text is incorrect. There is no "cumulative percentage of Design Defects." There is a cumulative percentage of Machine, Materials, and Design Defects; or perhaps a cumulative percentage of defects, ordered by frequency, including Design Defects.

To correct, changed the text "What is the cumulative percentage of Design Defects?" to "What is the cumulative percentage of Machine, Materials and Design defects?"

To fix, replaced with new histogram supplied by author.

The answer to the question should be "C" (Reserve Analysis), not "D" (Monte Carlo Analysis). The
explanations for both are correct, however the sentence "D has to be the answer" should be removed,
since it is incorrect. "C has to be the answer".

In the "Sharpen your pencil Solution" at the top of page 554, the text says:

"Sharpen instructions go here. Careful not to
get too close to the logo. Click on it and
you'll see little blue lines that show the
area you should avoid",

which looks like layout instructions rather than project risk management instructions.

Question asks which of the following are not an input of the Administer Procurement Process? All options A through D are inputs to the process (PMBOK IV Page 337/338) so there is not a correct response.

Note: The Exam Answer to this question on Page 769 states that the Procurement Management Plan is not an input to this process, but PMBOK states that it clearly is.

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 729 question 125, change answer B to "Records Management System"

On page 770 in the answer to question 125, change the last sentence ("But you don't actually see...") to: "But the Records Management System is a tool that's used to administer the procurements, not an input to the process."
