Xxxhary7y ago
Is this topic no longer in syllabus for PM? I have completed all lectures available for PM but can't find a single lecture on it. Please do guide timely as time is about to end. And in the end I would like to thank you guys for creating such a great platform, I passed last attempt only because of you guys and will pass this time too because of your help. Love you John.

And please tell us any questions to practice Risk and Uncertainty topic as I can't find any longer length question on this topic in BPP kit although I also have a kit from 2014 that has a lot of questions on it but mostly seemed outdated as we haven't covered in lectures many things asked in those questions.

Sensitivity analysis is in the syllabus, but is rarely asked. Most risk and uncertainty questions in the exam relate to expected values, maximin, maximal, minimax regret, and prefect knowledge - all of these are covered in detail in the lectures. I agree that the current BPP Revision Kit does not have so many questions on risk and uncertainty (116-120; 131-135; 140). I cannot comment on the 2014 kit because I no longer have it (but I would be interested to know what topics there are not covered in the lectures). I guess that the reason BPP have no Section C questions in the current kit because even though risk and uncertainty can be asked in Section C, they feel it more likely to be in Sections A and B. (In 2014 the exam format was different with more long questions).
