  • The Most Important Word in PMP Prep
    Apr 21 2025

    📅 Want to study with me live? My next 10-week PMP cohort starts June 2nd.

    📞 Text me at 757-759-5282 or email scott@allinprep.com to save your spot.

    🧠 In this episode, I reveal the single most powerful word you can use to transform your PMP study sessions—and it’s probably not what you think.

    That word is “because.”

    Why? Because it forces you to slow down, think critically, and explain your reasoning. And that’s exactly what the PMP exam is testing—not just your knowledge, but your ability to make smart, confident decisions.

    I’ll walk you through:

    • How using “because” builds real understanding (not just memorization)

    • Why students who adopt this mindset see faster score improvements

    • How to apply this technique to every question you study starting today

    If you want to think like a project manager and pass the PMP with clarity and confidence, this episode is your playbook.

    Let’s go All In.
