New to PMP?

Hello all,

I joined pmstudy.com and thought i would pass the exam. So, after 2 weeks of rigorous studies, I gave simulated exams and got 75% and thought I'd pass but I failed.

I was shocked as I found the exam pretty tough.

I recently came across this website and hope to get help and pass the PMP.

Thanks and Best Regards to all,

Hello,

I found the comments on this site really helpful and wanted to add my recent experience on the PMP exam. I passed the exam on my first try and did not find it too difficult. I took 3.5 hours to finish the test but only went through it once. I did not mark any questions but did take my time on each question. I tried to pace myself to answer 50 questions per hour. The exam did ask many situational questions but they we pretty straightforward. There were only about 5 questions on EVM and about 5 on ITTO. The ITTO questions were easy enough to answer without memorizing all of them. The only ones that I memorized were the 6 from project  integration management. My test had about 3 EMV (decision tree) questions, about 3 critical path questions but many risk managment questions. Spend alot of time studying risk. I also had many questions on the tools used in quality management, know them well.

I studied for about 5 months just to be sure that I passed it on my first try, The books that I used:

1. PMBOK, 4th Ed.  Read at least 4 times.
2. PMP Exam Prep, 6th Ed. by Rita Mulcahy.  Read 3 times.
3. The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try by Andy Crowe.  I read this book only one time and thought it was too simple BUT you get access to Velociteach's website for 1 week. They have a online class on PMP exam prep that I thought was excellent. It took about 13 hours to complete but was worth it. You even earn 15 PDUs and are able to print out a certificate. It is very well done. I would take the class at the begining of your studying because it explains the concepts very clearly.
4. Achieve PMP Exam Success, 4th Ed. by Margaret Chu. I read this book only once but it comes with a CD with alot of practice questions.
5. Ultimate PMP Exam Prep Guide by Timothy Bergmann. I read this book only once but it comes with aceess to their website for one year and it has PMP practice exams.

I think that I could have passed the exam with just the PMBOK and Rita's book because the rest say basically the same thing but the practce questions were helpful.

I purchased the 4 practice exams from PMstudy. Here are my scores.

1. PMstudy1-76%
2. PMstudy2-84%
3. PMstudt3-77%
4. PMstudt4-84%

Actual PMP exam;

1. Initiation -MP
2. Planning- P
3. Execution- P
4. Monitoring and Controlling-MP
5. Closing-P
6. Social and Professional Responsibility-BP (questions were tough)

Good luck and hope this helps, Frank

I am beginning to study for the PMP exam and would like to ask all for tips, study material and any advice to make the best use of my study time. I am also looking to get involved in a study group if anyone is in the Kansas City area. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I have completed my three years diploma in electronics engineering.

Am i Eligible for exam?

Regards 

I'm in the beginning stages of learning about the PMP exam, and am hopeful that I can build up the credentials to have the ability to pass the test. What elements of management should I focus my efforts? Will there be a technical knowledge component to the test? Are topics such as the ability to navigate proposal software necessary for the test? My experience is more of a customer service nature, but I know this needs to be much more diverse. I would like to do some test prep, but I don't want to start if I'm over my head as that would be a waste of time. I'd be happy to add more details if anyone has any questions/suggestions. Thanks!

I think you’ve made some truly interesting points. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. I am really impressed that there is so much information about this subject that have been uncovered and you did it so well, with so much class. Thanks.
