Hi Friends,

Very happy to share that I have cleared my PMP certification today.

Initiating:MP

Monitoring and Controlling:P

Closing: MP

Lessons Learned:

Dedicated 45 days preparation for 1-2 hours per day and writing atleast 2 mock exams over weekend.

I attended knowledgewoods PMP sureshot program for my 35 hours contact PDUs. Would say that this training was an OK not much to contribute for learning through the workshop but their mock exams did give me confidence to attempt the exam

And also thanks to their sure shot program it gave me a goal to finish my prep and attempt pmp exam within 45 days.

I attempted knowledgewoods 10 mock exams (Scores were 65%,68%,72%,81%,75%,77%,78%,71%,76%,74%)

Rita mulcahy PMP fast track super pmp(71%)

Books Referred: PMBOK 4th edition, Rita Mulcahy 7th edition, Head First PMP

For last minute preparations I tried to remember all the formulae.

Also, Make sure that you remember/understand thoroughly to which the 42 processes belong to (knowledge area and process groups).

This logic really helped me to answer few questions correctly.

Last 15 days I could not focus on my prep at all due to health and work issues so was really tensed about the exam.

But finally all tensions cleared when I saw the congratulations message on screen.

I have been following this group since a long time and I really thank all the members of this group.

Thanks

Rajini

Hi All,

I am happy to let you know that I have cleared PMP successfully on 12/12/12. It was nice feeling. I am very much thankful to this group who has kept me motivated all the way in my journey. Though I was not actively participating in any of conversation but I did not miss out a single mail - experience shared, lessons learned or any questions.

I started preparing PMP almost two years back and for one or the other reasons I was not committed myself to take exam. May be I am setting wrong example here for some of you who are about to give exam. Please take it from me don't procrastinate your exam date. Somehow I made my mind to take up this exam during this month and went for it and cleared. I There was no strategy as such I adopted as part of this. It was just two books i referred PMBOK and rita mulachy.

I almost read three times each and at the end I solved some mock questions, other than that there was no methodology as such I adopted. Since I had not taken any complete exam before this I just finished 15 mins before the exam. It was little hard to review but I was little confident that i have answered them correctly. 10 -15 seconds of time after clicking end of test were so thrilling and i was just waiting for the result to appear on screen. Those moments were very tense and believe me my hands were shivering :)

For me most of questions were from Time management - they were actually many calculation questions - PERT estimate, EAC, CPI etc. First 50 questions was little time consuming and next 100 questions were more of direct and calculation involved. Spent more of the time in answering last 50 questions which were not direct so spent some time in analyzing.

I have been following this group since a long time and I really thank all the members of this group.

Cheers
Raghunandan

Hello All,

I am ecstatic to inform all of you that I have cleared PMP on 01-Feb-13.

I would like to thank this ever active and helping google group for sharing,motivating a test taker like me. I'm sure we'll keep it alive and kicking as it is now.

My special thanks to Manish Nachnani who I got to know from this group and took the pain of sending me his books.

In a sense the PMP journey has been quite enriching that you regain faith in yourself and most of all you will learn a lot of concepts which you can apply in you real life be it projects or personal life.


Finally my lessons learned

Duration of preparation: ~ 3 months

Attended 35 hrs of classroom PMP prep. from my company.

Books referred:

1. Pmbok (Read 3 times)
2. Rita Mulcahy (2 times)
3. Headfirst (2 times)
4. Andy Crowe (1 time)

Though the above no. of times books read look daunting once you get into that groove you'll keep on referring them. Headfirst is really an interesting book and is one of the best book to start your PMP preparations.


Questions and mock exams attended:

No. of mock exams attended: 3 (200 questions)

Questions: Rita Mulcahy,Headfirst,Andy Crowe

Other online questions: Tried all the hard question banks available at the bottom of the following link:

http://www.oliverlehmann.com/pmp-self-test/75-free-questions.htm

Mock test taking strategy:

1. Dont just attend the questions and forget them.
2. Keep a note book and write down all your weak areas
3. If you are answering questions from the book, mark each question which you are not sure for future reference
4. Know your own weak areas and improve upon them ( For me quality, risk & HR tools were weak areas)


The following I referred before couple of days of the exam:

1. Referred to all my notes with the concepts, tools, weak areas and questions I had doubts (So when in doubt dont forget to mark questions)
2. PMzilla Rakesh Nair notes were helpful for the last minute important points (http://pmzilla.com/comprehensive-pmp-notes)


On the day of the exam:

I reached the exam hall almost 45 mins before the scheduled time and I made sure I had a good night sleep ready to endure the 4 hrs long exam.

1. Took deep breaths just to calm down the adrenaline rush before the exam...it really helps 
2. Wrote all the formulae in the scratch paper during the first 15mins
3. First few questions were tough so I answered them but "Marked' them for review at the end
4. Took a break at 1.5 hrs as I couldnt concentrate on the wordy questions anymore
5. I marked all the quetions whenever I was in doubt
6. Finished all the 200 questions 12 mins before the stipulated time
7. Went through some Marked questions but I didnt change any of them


After a brief survey the screen said "congratulations" and rest of the screen just blurred as I was transported to some other world !!!

So a dream, all the hard work and sacrifices of my family were worth this moment.

A big Thank you to all of you who shared,motivated and sacrificed for this achievement.

I hope it helps. Please email me in case you have queries or need info.

Thanks & regards,

Sambit Mishra PMP
