PMP passed on 12th April


 Hi all,

Phew !!

 I have cleared the PMP exams on 12th April with Proficient in 4 and Moderately Proficient in 2 areas.

 Thanks to all members who have been contributing their knowledge for everyone’s benefit.

 Many people have shared their LLs, hence would not go into much detail, however I have created a list (around 100) of some finer points which I had collated during my preparations. These are the ones where I made mistakes and hence noted down. (Admin, how do I upload it to the forum?, else pls mail me at aloksharma(at)gmail(dot)com) Apart from there, here are some points:

  1. Books referred:
    1. PMBok – Read 5 times
    2. Rita – Just once
    3. Head First – Tried, but was not comfortable reading it
    4. Glossary – 3 times
    5. Tests - Was getting around 65% in tests
  2. During the end of the preparation, while going through Glossary, I used to try and describe the word instead of reading it. I noticed that I was able to describe most of them and also the time taken was considerably less, which added to my confidence
  3. I did not have a study group, hence studied all by myself
  4. Harwinder’s blogs are excellent resource for clearing concepts. Harwinder, thanks a lot
  5. Normally 4 hrs are enough, but however I was going through the marked questions till last minute Probably was bad time management by me as I took more time in the initial 100 questions
  6. Took 1 break, had some food
  7. PMP tests for analytical skills and depth of knowledge on the core concepts.

 

Thanks to everyone once again.

Regards,

Alok Sharma, PMP
