Passed the exam on 13 Feb 2012
I would like to share that I have passed the PMP exam on my first attempt.
For those preparing to take the PMP examination, Here are my TIPS
1) Study Rita book and try solve problems in each chapter
2) Study PMBOK and cross reference chapters in Rita to understand better
3) Repeat step 1 and 2 (if you want to be more comfortable)
4) Start taking mock tests and refer back to the corresponding topics PMBOK and Rita.
5) Repeat step 4 with as many mock tests as you can take. You will understand the pattern of the exam and how you need to apply concepts learned when there are more than 1 correct answer given.
Points to remember:
1) Don't read too many books just focus PMBOK and Rita.
2) Fix up the appointment with exam center and visit the center 1 week before you take up the exam
3) Do as many mock tests as possible.
4) Do quality study
5) You have to read PMBOK at least once( no shortcuts)
6) Just question yourself on why a specific I/O or T&T exits for a process and why some of the outputs are again input to some other process. Don' t need to spend too much time in remembering these rather try to understand them.
