All,

Thank you to the Almighty, our  family & Friends and our  3 year old daughter for taking care of  my husband and me as we prepared for PMP. Yes we are qualified Mrs. and Mr. PMP :-)

We started the preparation around mid July, studying and applying in PMI...My husband got an application Audit and the process got delayed by 1 week. We rescheduled the exams a couple of times as we were held up with official work.

Preparation:

1. Studied first 4 chapters from PMBOK and Rita in parallel

2. Then read Rita twice

3. Then read the remaining PMBOK book twice.

4. Practiced a lot of tests (around 10 practice tests...4 PM study, 3 exam collection, 1 head first and 3 other paid test)

While preparing, the PMZILLA had suggested to memorize ITTO but I ended up reading the TT alone. My hubby was toooooooo busy and hardly had time to study.

29th Aug..My Husband cleared the exam and he said that there were 30 straight forward questions, 15 ITTO, 10 Calcuations, 10 from page 43 and others were tough. Very litlle risk questions and more of procurement. 

30th Aug..I stepped into the hall waiting for questions from Page. 43, ITTO and direct questions. Till question 110 there were none like that...took a break came back, hoping the next question would be easy. by that time 200 questions were done...There were hardly 10 or 15 simple questions. Hit the end exam, took the survey and got the Congratulations Message !!! Thanked the almighty and stepped out really proud. 

Thanks to PMZILLA members helping us to chose the Exam forums and giving us confidence to do the exam....

Cheers,

Sudha
