Passed PMP 30 JUL 13

After debating back and forth for almost 6 months I decided to take my PMP June 10th and began studying from there. 

Initiating-P

Planning-BP

Executing-MP

Monitor and Controlling-BP 

Closing- P

 

Due to all the lead time before the exam I kind of took my time but this is what it looked like.

 

June 10th- July 17 Read Rita Mulchay's book slowly and answered all the chapter test questions

July 17th-July 30th Read the pmbok once , Ragas 355(Multiple times), ITTOs, and EVM Study

 

Due to time constraints I took just three practice tests with the following results

-PMP Fasttrack 74%

-Scordo Exams 17 74%

-Scordo Exams 18 66%

I read lessons learned daily and learned memorizing the EVM did not require much because you only use the basic formulas relating to EV. Network diagramming was not difficult. Please know your ITTOs there 6 or 7 direct ITTO questions that on there and at least 20 to 30 more where the correct answer was ITTO based. I did not memorize my ITTOs but wished I did at points but understanding them is enough to pass. Procurement processes and where you are at in the procurement processes are very important as well. Besides that relax take the exam and pass. The PMP Fasttrack exam questions are the perfect difficulty but a little more wordy than the actual exam.
