Do PMP Test still use "poorly wording" now?
The correct answer is A (from Velociteach)
Margo is working with her team to evaluate each known unknown and try to assign an estimated percentage probability of occurrence of each. In what process is the team participating?
A. Risk analysis
B. Risk identification
C. Plan responses
D. Control risks
You should have seen the fact that Margo's team was quantifying the risks by seeking to assign a percentage probability estimate to them, and Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis is the process that does this. Watch out for poorly worded questions and answer choices - the exact answer you are seeking may not be present. Pick the best choice that approaches the perfect answer.
Some exam tip suggested to eliminate the incorrect process name first... So I am wondering if the real PMP exam is still using "poorly wording".
Thanks.

I donot think this was a
I donot think this was a poorly worded question - to me it appeared like a straight forward question.
"evaluate each known unknown and try to assign an estimated percentage probability of occurrence"
Unknown = Risk
evaluate each known Risks and try to assign an estimated percentage probability of occurrence.
That surely looks like Risk Analysis to me. Others can comment on my rationale.
