1.My Application was audited on Wednesday; Printed out the materials the same day and got them

signed (working with the same company for a while under one boss);Sent overnight mail by UPS; Application reached 10:15 am; Got cleared around noon the same day; Dont worry about Auditing; Keep everything ready.

 

2. I did not book the exam until i felt i was ready. I booked the exam after taking 2 mock tests.

Booked the exam for Wednesday on Tuesday evening. Do not worry about the prometric calendar dates;

 

3. I could not memorize ITTO fully; But i was able to remember the pattern. FOr example; Expert Judgment is the tool in most of Integration areas. Cross related some of the tools. For example some T&T like

Fishbone diagram comes in quality as well as risk.

 

1. If you have IPAD, buy Good Reader App and you can take notes and highlight sections;

2. You prepare your own notes so you will remember the pattern

3. Read PMBOK first, then RITA. Come back to PMBOK and read the same. Read other books

4. Solve  Practice atleast 1000 questions [google will give u more results than this number]

5. You will be ready when you are able to visualize PMBOK material and read it in 1.5 hours 

6. Recommended program : PMSTUDY. [only PMBOK terms ] 

7. Regularly Read Lessons learned from PMZILLA

8. Work with your family and adjust yourself. Without them you wont be able to achieve success.
