Finally made it on 23rd Nov!!
Hello All,
With the God’s grace, finally made it on 23rd Nov.
My overall experience :
-----------------------------------
I had questions from almost all Knowledge areas, however no questions from professional ethics and social responsibility.
Experienced around 20 questions related to EVM and Network Diagrams in the beginning and end of the exam.
How I started: Aug 12 – Nov 12
------------------------------------------
1. Started with Head first, this book really helped me in understanding the topics. On a lighter note, Head first is the easy to understand book. (2 times)
2. Read PMBOK – Very important to have a understanding of this bible (Applied magic of 3)
3. Rita M. 7th ed (magic of 3)
4. 10 Days before the exam, started taking practice exams. After every practice exam, referred the answers and Pmbok for any wrong answer, it helped me bridge my gaps by understanding why the choice was wrong I selected.
Eventually started getting better results as I started practicing more and more.
Make sure you manage your time well during your full length mock test.
a. Rita’s Book and Fastrack
b. http://www.squidoo.com/pmp-certification-exam-free-sample-questions
c. Exam Central (http://www.examcentral.net/pmp/pmp-exam-questions) - Highly recommend this
d. Head First PMP
e. Simpli Learn
f. http://www.pmstudy.com– Highly recommend this
g.http://www.headfirstlabs.com/PMP
h. Farndale - If you have time, otherwise leave it.
i. Lehman
I generally used to finish the mock test within 3:30 min, but the story was altogether different on the final day.
My target always was 50 Questions: 60 min, which I was able to manage well while attempting practice test.
On the final day, wrote the formulas and the P 43 chart on the scrap sheet to ease out the pressure from my small brain. The first hour went fine with 53 questions. However some of the EVM questions utilized my time in the 2nd hour. I just wanted to make sure that I am finishing the Q’s then and there as I have already invested time on this and I have to invest time again if I mark this for later review.
Took one break in the middle of the exam, helped me to calm myself.
Time started running faster at the end of the exam. Started reading the questions as fast as I can along with the choices and selected the BEST I can think of.
Time finished…. and no time for any questions marked for review.
Got a pop up “you are out of time” and exam ended :). I was clearly able to hear my heartbeat.
After completing the Survey, I went mad when the screen gone blanked for 2 min.
Felt relaxed after seeing congratulations on the screen..... Ahhhhhhhhhhh...
Suggestions:
----------------------
Practice!! Practice!! And Practice!! as many questions as you can.
PMBok is your best friend
Have a good understanding of Quality, Risk and Procurement
Manage time
Make sure you sleep well the night before the exam.
Keep visiting Pmzilla for others contributions and lessons learned. Will get lots of help.
During my preparation, I have collected so much of data, articles docs :) . Please let me know if anyone needs any help.
Lastly, I’d like to thank my family and Kido for tolerating me during these 4 months as it was books, papers and printouts everywhere. I was almost isolated from everything. It wasn’t possible without their support for sure.
Cheers,
~ Ritesh

Hello Amy, In the very first
Hello Amy,
In the very first test i got 58% which was really the eye opener for me to reconsider my study plan, later on i never got less then 70% (on the higher side 90%). Honestly, i can't judge the approximity of how they were close to the exam because before i attempted 1st mock, i was into the impression that i am having 70-80% book knowledge but that was not the case after the 1st mock. I started the PMBok with HF again and this time cover to cover. Believe me it's all based on the understanding of the topic. I never memorised any ITTO's but tried understand them thoroughly and i was easily able to relate them. In my last seven days, i only practised questions and questions, which really helped me to understand the topic and bridge my gaps.
Hope i am able to answer your query.
Thanks and best of luck.
Regards,
Ritesh
