In this episode you will learn:

- The CAPM exam is based on the 10 Knowledge Areas from the PMBOK 6th Edition: Integration, Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resource, Communications, Risk, Procurement, and Stakeholder.

- Project Integration Management is the unique coordinating area that unifies all other knowledge areas throughout the project lifecycle.

- Exam questions often use scenarios to test your ability to identify the correct Knowledge Area for a specific project management activity.

- A common exam trap is confusing the current 10 Knowledge Areas with the older 9-area model; Stakeholder Management is now its own distinct area.

- A helpful mnemonic to remember the 10 areas is: "I Saw Some Cute Queens Reading Comics Right Past Sunset."
