I start the common discusion How you can pass the exam or the grade to be successful?

First, You need to study at least 480 hours to pass the exam, obviusly this depends of the exam. If you are Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Einsten in 24 hours yuo pass. or if you are not fast invest more time.

Second, The grade is only PASS in answer sheet, the rest is rumours.

Why, I pass. Yes, i pass with 4 MP & 1 BP.

The rumours say 61% correct anwers, aprox It is 75%. Because If PMI choose that correct answers, You pass with 61% plus discount aleatory questions.

My Experience:

I woke up at 5:30 to travel 40 min in Berlin 18 in Mexico City. Common It is 1:30 hr, but today was Saturday & People Rest.

I arrive early (7:15) in the Prometric Center & watched partners arrive the same exam.

Checkin operation, You have guns, no, Your things in the bunker (locker), Your Id (My personal IFE), Yes.

Are you Juan, Yes I am. & Blah Blah Blah.

After Pass All people in individual form to your computer exam.

I presented the exam, without worry, desperation & illnees for the time exam.

Finally the PC exam shows, Prometric Evaluation. I think this is different, Tha last chance This pc didn't ask me quality service. I Answerd, Finally, Congratulations You Pass.

I feel freedom.

When I went out of classroom, Once partner was here (reception lockers).

Obviusly Question, Gossip. I don't like.

Are you pass? He answered me, Yes. & You, Yes.

His grade, 4P & ! MP

His method study, He read Rita's Book 2 or 3 times with magnifying glass line by line (3 months),

Because He thinks PMBok is not good to understand or help. Answered tests, Nothing.

Good.

My method.

4 years to persecuted, What is this, How can obtain.

2 PMI Courses in Rep's, in the last 2 years

2 PMBok 4 Ed Reads, 2 Ritas PMP Prep Reads, 1 PMBok Summary in 4 weeks (8 hours) of transcription to notes & other more to summary in dig ed.

Many times to test in PM Fast Track 7, 2 months (8 hours) Aprox 192 hours

In concrete form you need to study in your better form.

Rita's PM Fast Track

Tips:

Take at least 1 course Rep in intro of PMP framework & If you like 1 optional Prep Course in Rep.

Read 3 or 4 times very well PMBok, Rita's PM Exam prep.

1 month at least you have study very well 80% of training route plan your next exam.

If you fail the first time, check your bugs & if you did not identify your bugs. You ares lost

If you never take a test track, you not present your exam (It's better, If you are Einsten take the risk).

Obviously, your personal experiencie in projects (desireable with 100% PMI process), but in the real world

Enterprises not have PMI process, 1st reason this area is good to work & invest.

Pay a membership at least 6 months to present the exam, I think PMI identifie people pay for membership

& that people not present auditory (I think). Pay 1 PMI chapter, Washignton Chapter (1 video free per 1 PDU at month)

Pay your exam & Good Luck, After you are study at least once time per Management Process & Knowledege Area complete questions. 1 or 2 PMP, If you obtain 75% in all recomendations in this test, you are ready.

Changes in test to real exam:

I found some questions are diferent of Rita Test. Rita's should the test & book only prepare to identify the process on the real exam. Because in the real projects you need this tricks & knowledge.

If you developed this skill you are outside, I think this is the real problem in the people take this exam.

Others are the critical path in rita's y other tests you only practice the common route & in the new version before July 31, It is you need to know the ES, EF, LS & LF & do the calculation in the question.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxrcvE7bDY8               ... subscribe this man has 2 good examples

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT9KbnvRrTE               ... & easy

this examples come in the exam

These are the group of most easy questions, but these plays with your exam time. Invest at least 40 sec to 2 min.

The other easy questions are the most easy answers. You answer in 20 sec at max time to invest, the only problem is read & choose the option.

And the other questions types are the ittos, prectice the ittos are the 7%. I think this percent is important to pass. That are nor much questions, but help.

For last You invest your real to answer questions are different tests or book info in your real training.

Please You don't believe in REP's courses offer your pass in 1 week of study & take the exam.

This exam it is for only people study, I confess I never study in that form in my Bachelor carreer.

When I understand easy components how charts, the most easy is the S curve i did not understand the 6 or 8 formulas to memorize, when I watch this nasas graph I invest 1 or 2 days to watch & analyze. I review the formulas & I understand the calculations. For example TCPI is the CPI in the forecast point, you only need to quit your BAC to the CPI & your forecast is ready.

I should dont memorize the formulas only, I think you need to understan the rules of that & why you need in your dayly job.

Finally, I am tired. GOOD TRICK, GOOD Luck =(

Please prepare with surprises the next versions change at little in tricks, but this

recomendations It is the big trick to the succesful exam, Check in this site all histories are the same

experience, Study & study
