Passed PMP today

[Moby Joseph]

Hi All,

 

Passed PMP today. 2-3 months of preparation finally resulted in the desired manner.

 

My notes:

If somebody is thinking that PMP exam is easy and with your experience you can clear it easily – please take it out of your mind. You need good preparation for the exam.

You need to have good understanding of PMBOK though your experience does help in certain questions. 95% of the questions I got were from PMBOK.

 

I read Rita & Headfirst once just to get the additional understanding. Read PMBOK thrice. Still have a feeling that I should have read it few more times. J

Mock Tests:

1)      The tests from Rita’s book

2)      Oliver F Liehman (175 & 75 questions) (http://www.oliverlehmann.com/pmp-self-test/75-free-questions.htm)

3)      Simplilearn - http://www.simplilearn.com/slportal/login/quick/login.do

4)      pmi.books24x7 - http://pmi.books24x7.com/toc.aspx?bookid=43472

 

I liked PMI books 24x7 J

The scores were not great. But analyzed all the questions along with the answers to fill the gaps.

 

Approach:

Read Rita or Headfirst of PMBOK once

Make notes when you read as it is helpful for quick revision.

Start taking the full length mock test and identify the gaps. Start with Oliver and you will know what to concentrate more on the PMBOK.

Should have good understanding of Page 43 and the ITTOs. Got quite a few direct questions on ITTOs in my exam.

Please concentrate on the approach which you are comfortable with and stick to it.

 

Thanks for all your support and best wishes for your exam.

 

Should you need any clarifications, please feel free to reach out to me.

 

Thanks & Regards
