Hi Guys, I was a Silent observer of this forum.But,this forum has helped me a lot to clear my concepts and solve my queries.

I cleared PMP on 19th August after a long study of 4-5 months.I used to study for around 3 hrs during weekdays and around 7 hrs during weekends.And 2 weeks before the exam I used to study for almost 12 hrs.

Here are my lessons learnt:

I used PMBOK and Rita Book for my studies. Read PMBOK twice and Rita Mulchahy 3 times.For clearing my doubts I frequently visited PMZilla. For a few topics I also surfed internet to get the detail info.

Regarding the Mock exams, I solved all the PM fasttrack questions by knowledge area and by process. Also gave super PMP exams in it. Also went thru Oliver lehmann 175 and 75 questions and also PMStudy test. After giving the test, I used to analyze the gaps in my knowledge and analyzed them thoroughly.

And finally the day came. I was quite confident on the exam day but a bit tensed too.I reached the exam center 1 hr early so that I could get used to the environment. I completed entire 200 questions in 3 hrs 40 min. and then reviewed my marked questions in the last 20 mins. And finally I pressed the end exam button. My eyes started searching for the Congratulations word and finally found that I had successfully passed with good levels.

Hope my lessons learnt help all the aspiring candidates.All the best !!

Shraddha M, PMP.
