How-To Guide: Use ChatGPT Plus as a PMP Study Partner
Step 1: Set Up Your Study Session Context
Start a new ChatGPT conversation. First, give it your study context so it generates relevant questions:
Type: "I'm studying for the PMP exam. I'm a working project manager with 5 years of experience. I understand predictive project management well but need more practice on Agile/hybrid approaches and the People domain. Act as my PMP exam tutor. When I ask for questions, generate scenario-based questions similar to the real exam style."
