シャドーイング練習: Pass the PMP with NO STUDY - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Is it possible to pass your PMP with no study at all?

I'm David McLaughlin

and over the last year I've helped more than 30,000 people pass their PMP through my Udemy course and YouTube videos.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of people have watched my YouTube videos and millions over the last few years.

And what I've found for people who have passed their PMP, they have five things in common when they're taking the PMP test.

It's a test strategy.

You can use this test strategy and it will significantly increase your chances of passing the PMP.

So do you want to know what they are?

I'm going to go through them here.

But it's also part of my course, my Udemy course.

So if you do use these five tips to pass the PMP exam, people have been absolutely raving about it.

But let's get into these five tips right now.

And the first thing we need to know is just the way that the questions are structured.

So when you're taking the PMP exam, the majority of the questions are going to be scenarios.

So scenario-based questions, multiple choice with four different answers, usually one, two, three, or four.

And something is going wrong in this scenario, and we need to solve the scenario using our project management and people skills.

So two or three answers will often seem to be correct, and we have to choose the most correct answer.

Now that is why the PMP exam is so difficult and so hard.

One, project management is quite hard already, but when you have something going wrong and two or three answers are seemingly correct,

then it just adds to how difficult this exam really is.

But we can help that with these five PMP test strategy tips, and here they are.

You're going to love this.

The first one, because it's so simple as well, anyone can do it.

And also, some people know the material inside and out, but they're just not good at taking tests.

That was the case with me.

I got nervous, and I didn't manage my time, and I couldn't focus properly.

And so these five tips really helped me as well.

The first one is read the question and highlight all the key words.

Everything you need to know is going to be in the question.

So always assume that all the information is there.

There's no extra or hidden information that you can't see.

it's all in the question.

So highlight the key words in that question and we do that to figure out if the project is predictive, agile or hybrid.

So if we've got keywords like change control or predictive risk management processes, management reserves or contingency reserves,

that's probably going to be a predictive sequential project and we'll answer that a little bit differently to an Agile project.

So the keywords we might have is like product owner or iterations or product reviews,

sprints, definition of done, definition of ready, all of these things, Kanban and Kanban boards.

These are your keywords for agile questions. And hybrid, we'll have a couple of questions in there about hybrid processes where we've got a little bit of predictive

and a little bit of agile.

So when we highlight the keywords, we just want figure out is it predictive is it agile

so that we can answer it appropriately and then once we've done

that determine which topic or principle from the PMBOK the question is addressing is it about

risk is it about procurement is it about change control

or something else what is it about in the question what is it asking us to do

and we can highlight those words as well

and then we just strike through any answers that don't directly address that project methodology or the PMBOK principle that you identified.

For example, if the question is about risk, then we can get rid of the answers that are about procurement or change control.

And now, if we select one of the remaining answers, we've got a much higher chance of success.

Maybe there's only two left to choose from, and it's much easier for us to see which one directly answers that question.

Those five tips alone can help people pass the PMP exam.

Now there's two extra ones that we do need to know and that is to make sure that you answer every question.

So just in case because if you don't answer it, you can't get the points for it.

So always make sure you answer every question.

Flag the ones that you're unsure of.

You can always come back to it later and you might get hints from future questions or future answer options.

So that's always good.

And the last one is know your timing.

You have 230 minutes for 180 questions.

That gives us about 1 minute and 15 seconds for each question.

Now, there are usually, it's split into three sections.

You'll get two 10-minute breaks if you need them.

For the first 60 questions, you should have around 155 minutes remaining.

And once you're up to 120 questions, you should have around 80 minutes remaining.

So manage your time, make sure you try and stick within that 1 minute and 15 seconds.

That's part of the challenge.

And because there are so many as well, keeping your focus for that entire time is extremely important.

But that's the last tip.

Now we've got those 7 amazing tips.

Do they actually work?

Can we put these together?

Let's go through a PMP question and just see if we can use this methodology to see how it works.

So you're working as a product owner in an agile team.

Now here's our keyword already.

We've got a product owner and it's an agile team so it's probably going to be agile questions.

During a recent risk review, that's a promising keyword, the team have uncovered various risks that will impact your project.

You brainstorm risk responses with your team and the project customer would like them to be mitigated as soon as possible.

So it's asking us to mitigate them as soon as possible.

It's about risk and it's risk in agile.

So already we have some amazing clues here.

What are we going to do next?

Now, do we ask our team to work on the risk responses and get them done as soon as possible?

Well, we want them to be mitigated as soon as possible.

So that's quite a good one.

We'd put that as a high maybe for that one.

It's not agile specifically, but let's see.

Ignore the risks.

Initially, some people may, some of these risks may dissipate over time and only the important ones will be left.

Now this is definitely no because we want to be mitigating them as soon as possible.

What is it asking us to do?

Assign the risk responses to all stakeholders around your project team to share the load.

Does that, is that agile?

Is it about, is it a risk process and does it mitigate those risks?

Not really.

So I'm going to put that as we can get rid of that.

We can strike through it like we were talking about that one and this one as well.

So that just leaves two.

Let's check out this last one.

Prioritize the risks by comparing the expected monetary value of the risk to the anticipated return on investment of upcoming deliverables.

Wow, okay.

100

Now that's a mouthful, but do you know what that is?

101

That is our risk adjusted backlog.

102

So we're adjusting the backlog for risks, the impact of the risks versus the value of the deliverables,

103

and we're prioritizing them in our agile backlog.

104

The risk-adjusted backlog is an agile way of working for risk

105

and we're mitigating them as soon as possible because we're prioritizing them.

106

So all of a sudden this becomes the clearest answer.

107

Let's go with answer D.

108

And there it is.

109

So in this way this method has truly helped us with a PMP question just by highlighting the keywords, figuring out if it's agile,

110

predictive, or hybrid and figuring out the PMBOK idea

111

that we're talking about and figuring out what the question is asking us to do.

112

Amazing, amazing stuff.

113

Now, that could have been a fluke.

114

So let's just quickly try one more and see if we can actually do this, see if it works.

115

Let's get this right in our heads and really, really get this good.

116

This is really going to help you when you're passing the PMP exam.

117

So you're planning a project where supply chains have been impacted.

118

Okay.

119

And the requirements are complex and intertwined with other areas of the business.

120

All right.

121

Do you see any PMBOK principles yet?

122

Maybe requirements.

123

Your project sponsor asks you to manage these risks.

124

Okay.

125

Well, here we go.

126

That's what they're asking us to do.

127

Manage these risks before the project moves to execution.

128

That's pretty clear.

129

and what are we going to do next it doesn't say

130

agile specifically it doesn't say predictive specifically oh before the project moves to execution

131

so perhaps that's more predictive we've got initiating and then planning

132

and then executing and then monitoring and controlling

133

and then closing remember those process phases in the PMOK guide so potentially a predictive project Okay,

134

we've got some clues.

135

Move the project to execution so you can work through the risks as they happen.

136

Well, the project sponsor wanted us to do it before it moves to execution.

137

So that's a big no. Remember?

138

So that's already a clue.

139

Move to an agile way of work so you can deliver faster and also deal with the complexity.

140

Does that solve our problem?

141

Not necessarily, not directly.

142

And also we're already working in a predictive project.

143

So you might do a hybrid, but usually we won't completely switch.

144

So that's also a no. Note the risks with appropriate controls and add a contingency reserve in the project budget.

145

Contingency reserve does handle risks.

146

So that's important.

147

We need to know that.

148

And all of a sudden that keyword matches up with what we're trying to do.

149

So it could be good.

150

Let's check the last one just in case.

151

Assign a management reserve.

152

Okay now all of a sudden this one can be a no

153

because management reserve is for unforeseen scope

154

but a contingency reserve is definitely for risks

155

so we're highlighting this word risks it's a predictive project risks

156

that uses a contingency reserve

157

so all of a sudden answer c becomes our absolute best idea here let's check it out

158

and there it is we did it just using

159

that those five simple steps the pmp test strategy amazing stuff now this is part of the pmp fast Track,

160

which is also in my Udemy course.

161

The PMP Fast Track is the fastest way to get up to speed.

162

It's under an hour and people have used only that to study

163

and pass for the PMP once they have their 35 contact hours of course.

164

But I really recommend checking out the Udemy course and the PMP Fast Track.

165

You won't regret it.

166

It will truly take your study and your project knowledge to the next level.

167

This has been a whole bunch of fun.

168

I hope you've enjoyed it.

169

I certainly have and I'll see you in the next video.

170

Bye for now.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
