Passed 1st try - Sept 12, 2012

 All,

I passed the exam on my first try this morning.  This site helped me to prepare so I wanted to give back and share my prep and lessons leared.

Study prep:

-Read Rita's 6th edition through to ch 12 (did not read social responsibility chapter).

-Did all questions in Rita's book after the chapters, scored 70-85% depending on the chapter

-Skipped certain areas of the PMBOK (max 2 hours were spent with PMBOK)

-Did a sample test with Rita's Fastrack (200 question test), scored 82%

-Did the first 100 questins of Lehman's 175, scored 76%

 

For my braindump I wrote down math formula's and pg 43 of PMBOK.  It was not very helpful.

I did not memorize ITTO, but it would have made the exam much easier if I did.

I passed with 3P's 2MP's.

Congratulations! How much time did you prepare?


Is it doable in 1 month with minimal preparation? I am targetting Feb 2013 starting in Jan 2013

 It took me about a month, I read a Rita chapter every 3 days or so, and then spent the last week with the sample questions.

What is ITTO,

I tried reading PMBOK and Rita at the same time, I am unable to continue as it is pretty boring...

Could you please guide me with the sequence of study

 

Thanks
