Free PMI PgMP Actual Exam Questions - Question 6 Discussion

C. It’s about assigning points to categories, which suggests categories have different importance levels, making it a weighting system rather than just screening or a general score.

It’s not benefit-cost analysis here since that usually involves comparing overall benefits against costs, not just assigning points per category. The key is that points are given to different categories to judge vendors, which sounds like the weighting system (C). Screening (B) tends to be more about pass/fail checks rather than detailed scoring. So I’d go with C because the question implies a structured scoring approach where different criteria have assigned points to weigh their importance.

A/B? It could be benefit-cost if points are about comparing pros and cons overall, but screening fits if it’s just a pass/fail with some scoring. Not sure if weighting is detailed enough here.

Maybe C, since giving points suggests you’re quantifying how important each category is, which matches weighting more than just screening or listing vendors.

B imo, because assigning points might just mean you’re screening vendors based on criteria, not necessarily doing a detailed weighted comparison. Weighting system sounds more structured with specific importance levels, but if it’s just points to judge whether vendors pass or not, it feels more like a screening system.

Makes sense to me that it's C because assigning points typically means you're weighting each factor to compare vendors fairly. B sounds more like a simple pass/fail filter, not scoring. C

C. Assigning points to categories fits the weighting system because it implies giving different importance to each factor, not just filtering or listing vendors. Benefit-cost analysis would focus more on comparing overall value, but here it's clearly about scoring specific criteria.

It’s C since assigning points usually means weighted scores for each category.

B imo, assigning points sounds like ranking to filter vendors before final choice.

C/D, assigning points can mean weighting or just scoring vendors.

B imo, since a screening system is about filtering vendors based on set criteria, and assigning points could be part of that initial sorting before deeper evaluation.

It’s C because assigning points to different categories fits the idea of a weighting system where you score vendors on multiple factors. A benefit-cost analysis (A) usually compares overall value, not breaking down into specific point categories. Screening system (B) is more about filtering out options quickly, and preferred vendor list (D) is just a pre-approved group, not a scoring method. So the point assignment clearly matches weighting system best.

Guessing C here, since assigning points sounds like weighting different criteria.
