ABSTRACT

You do not need to be a certified public accountant to successfully answer the Project Cost Management questions on the PMP® certification exam. PMI® addresses cost management from a project manager’s perspective, which is much more general than that of an accountant. However, these questions are not easy. Far from it! Exam takers find the Project Cost Management questions more difficult than most of the others because they address such a broad range of cost issues (for example, cost estimating, earned value, and creating and interpreting S-curves) and require a significant amount of study time.
