How is it?

Hi Saket,


 


Hope you are doing very well. Due to lot of spams my visit to PMZilla is largely curtailed. However, I can not resist the temptation to visit the site at regular intervals.


 


I wanted to tell you that my scores (on an average) in Brainbok is 85-90 % (out of 100 questions). I just gave one and scored 93/100.


 


The areas where I am facing issues is with WPI, WPM, Project Document updates etc. My startegy is to be supremely confident on ITTOs and then jump to PMBOK-Rita-Head1st in sync.


 


I am yet to book a seat  in Prometric. However, my target is to appear before PMBOK-5 comes into being. My 1-year eligibility expires on 15.3.2013.


 


Thanks Saket.


 


Regards,


KK....

Hi Kranti,


To my knowledge you are preparing for PMP since a long time. Why that big duration? For PMP you do not need so big time. On an average (over 600 students), I have seen for first timer 3 months is sufficient and for 2nd/3rd timer 30-45 days is more and enough. The bigger duration disturbs the pace of preparations.


For PMP exam, pace is very important. You should not loose what you have gained. If you are securing anything above 80% from any of the mock exam that people post in this forum, I feel you are more than good.


No one is perfect in everything. If you run for achieving award of purity, you might fail as a common man. Everyone has some weak areas, instead of running over it to know more and more concentrate on the areas where you are good in. If you have good concepts of 90% of the part…concentrate on these 90% things. To pass PMP you just need 70%, right? Then why run to know everything? Your motive is to pass PMP, so you can keep some concepts in side (not everyone is expert of everything).


PMBOK-5 exam would not start before December-2013. Why are you thinking for so long time? Schedule your exam, for what you are waiting for now?


Saket, PMP

Hi Saket,


 


Thanks a lot for opening my eyes. I have FINALLY scheduled my exam in the third week of Spetember, 12 in Gurgaon (India). Actually, I would study for 10 days non-stop and then something or the other would pop-up and straight away close to 15 days would go in drains and bringing me back to square one!


 


There would be no more deterrant, touch wood, and this date is for keeps.


 


Thanks a lot for opening my eyes. I shall never forget this deed of yours. Yes, 3 months is sufficient. A donkey would not become a horse in 5, 6,  or 7 months.


 


Thanks,
