Nailed it - PMP

Cleared PMP on 17th Oct with 3 Ps and 2 MPs. Couple of things I would like to suggest:

My  lesson learnt:

> Do not try each and every test you find on site. I remember many of them providing false answer just to make you score less and try their paid tests. Trust only Rita's Fastrack, PMStudy and HeadFirst and PMZilla test. If you score 80 % in Rita's, you are good to go. Real exam is way easier than them if you know the concepts.

> I liked HeadFirst's simple language and PMBOK Guide. PLEASE READ PMBOK. DO NOT SKIP IT.

> Do not be a fool to try to memorize ITTOs. I could do it but didn;t do it. It doesn't make any sense. Exam doesn;t ask you question in that way.

> "Deepfriedbrain" - Hats of to this guy. What is site to clear your concepts. Just check their explanation of PTA and work performance information/measurement and report performance.

> I tried to visualize the flow in mind, something like this:

Deliverables > Project Scope statement > Direct and manage project work > Perform Quality control (VD)> Verify Scope (AD) > Project Closure

WPI > WPM > Report performance

> Finally, take the final day light, I learnt it hard way when I tried to study around 12 hrs. You probably shouldn;t spend more than 4-5 hrs on study day before.

> Sleep Well before exam day. I started from Pune to Mumbai at 04:30 and reached Mumbai at 12:00 completely exhausted. I was scheduled for 13:00. Didn;t eat anything just wash my face and started. After 100 Qs, I had to speak up questions in order for me to understand and grasp them.

Congratulations on your PMP. I agree with your first point on the tests. People waste so much time trying to take 1000s of questions, whereas all you need is few tests from reputed sources.. anyway some of these 1000s questions pack are quite misleading and even if you can answer them doesnt mean you will be able to clear the real exam.

Congratulations !!!.... You are very right regarding the quality of Mock tests and ITTO ...no need to memorise it.....

Nice to hear a real story after long time....

It's really frustrating that now a days a lot of fake posts are seen on PM Zilla.

Might be from paid test providers; Just to promote their names.

The above story; I beleive is a real one ....

Would you please share wouldn't Rita & PMBOK are enough to pass the exam.

Which test would you recommend; If I have time to select one more...

 

Thanx In Advance
