Submitted by smshoaib80 on Sun, 05/24/2015 - 13:11

I have my exam on 2nd June. I have been studying for last two and half months.

Have started with Head first 1 time, then Rita 2 times and PMBOK 1 time.

For last 10 days attempting Mock test and getting average around 70 - 75%, includes PM simulater, Oliver 75 and 175, head first (82%) and Izenbridge(Maths 100%, other test 71%).

I have now almost a week remaining in exam. What is best to do in this week?

Facing problems in ITTOs questions and trying to memorize as much as i can.

Still not feeling confident. Need advise please.

ITTO questions are not that much, but please check where you are going wrong. There has to be few areas where you are getting confused. 

Overall you seem to be doing well as you are averaging 70 to 75%. 

Try to revise, study from notes, make more mental connections. I had an issue with procurement management because I had not done it practically. So I identified that as my weak area and did more reading on the topic from various books, tried to watch some free videos on youtube etc , to grasp and go deeper into the topic.  Then i was confident about procurement. Likewise you can also identify weak areas.

Hi Syed,

I have been asked by several folks, “How do you prepare for an exam?” I will let you in on a secret.  I get a little nervous when I am about to take a long test.  A four hour exam is not my cup of tea. I have a little ADD (attention deficit disorder) and I am not a fast reader.

However, I have now managed to pass a few PMI exams and a 5 hour AACE exam. A big part of my methodology is having success with the management of anxiety levels.

I would like to share the link of an article about Managing Anxiety for the PMP Exam. Hope it will helps you. All the best.
