If you keep missing PMP questions that feel easy, the problem probably isn't knowledge — it's how fast you're trying to act.
In this episode, Scott breaks down a hidden pattern that hurts a lot of capable PMP candidates: action bias. The instinct to jump straight into fixing, escalating, or documenting feels responsible — but on the PMP exam, it often leads to the wrong answer.
You'll learn:
Why PMI punishes premature action on PMP questions
How aggressiveness shows up subtly in answer choices
What the PMP exam actually rewards instead
A simple thinking model to slow down and choose better answers
This episode is about shifting from reactive thinking to disciplined decision-making — the mindset PMI is really testing.
If you want to improve your accuracy without memorizing more content, this episode is for you.
