Detailed Explanations

After you complete an exam or timed/learning quiz you are provided with a detailed exam report. This report is displayed on the screen and also emailed to your address on file. (Email can be turned on/off). The report is slightly different depending on what simulated exam you are viewing: Project Management Professional (PMP)^®, PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)^®, or Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)^®. It includes the following sections:

The pinnacle of our explanations is the detailed reasoning provided for each answer choice, including the incorrect ones. Knowing the rationale behind the incorrect answer choices and being able to understand why they have been eliminated is as equally important as acknowledging why the selected choice is considered the best answer to the question asked.

Some questions, where answers are obvious, do not include per-choice explanations. For example, calculation-, definition-, and/or fact-based questions may rely on general explanations only as answers for those questions are either correct or incorrect without a doubt. Regardless, we made an extra effort and included per-choice explanations even in some of those questions.

This screen shot shows a CAPM question, as you see it in the review mode after completing an exam:

The question is repeated at the top, and the correct answer is highlighted. The gray box below includes a section for "Explanation" and "Reference".

We first see a general explanation of the concept that underlies the question, followed by the per answer choice explanation where you learn exactly why an answer is correct or incorrect.

Finally, the reference indicates where you can read up on the topic.
