PMP exam in 10 days - How well I am placed?

Submitted by bpp9614 on Tue, 11/09/2010 - 23:37

Hello Friends,

I have been preparing for PMP since fist week of Sept'10, little over 2 months. I have my exam scheduled on 21st. I have started giving some sample tests and here are my scores:

OliverLehman 75  - 72%
OliverLehman 175  -74%

HeadFirst (200) - 81.4%

PMStudy 1 (200) - 77 % (Time 3.5 hours)

My pattern of wrong answers say, I overlook the words "EXCEPT", "NOT", "LEAST" and make almost 10-20% (4-8) of wrong answers.

I didn't memorise ITTO and not planning to memorise.

Should I go ahead and appear the exam. I have around 11 days from today. What should I focus most? I have completed PMBoK twice and Rita once and thinking of reading Rita on fast track once. What you say? Should I focus more on sample tests, which ones?

Hi Bish


You appear to be well prepared, just wanted to mention that free tests are sometimes not reflection of real pmp exam, try to take some paid exam from 1 or 2 sources to really test your knowledge.


in your case head first score does not count, since that is very easy .


From the tests you have given , try to find out your week areas, is it procurement, time , risk , then focus more and do more readings there, also focus on PMI code of conduct chapter.


Regards

Thank you admin. I agree that headfirst is quite easy. But Oliver Lehmann questions were tough (not all). PMzilla free test I got 64%. Questions were hard.

 I think you are ready to go. Just keep your cool when you take the exam. Most questions have similar choices and sometimes hard to figure out. But it's not that difficult and with that kind of preparation you can always pass. So, go ahead and give the exam with confidence.

-Good Luck

Gave PMStudy 2 test today and got 80.5%. The questions were quite easy and didn't find a single tricky question.  Not sure if this the way it is asked in real PMP exam. Some questions I made wrong without reading all the options, though.

Planning for PMStudy 3 test sometime next week.

How is Rita's fast track super PMP questions? Is it worth giving a try?

 Only pmstudy1 is free test. Pmstudy2 , pmstudy 3 and pmstudy 4 are paid exams. You can buy all these 3 exams for 49$. I will recommend you buy this tests only after you feel you are ready to take exams

 Rita's some questions are really tough and some are poorly worded. If you are really doing good in pmstudy exams say you are scoring 85 plus i guess your preparation is good.

If you have good knowledge of PMBOK then exam should not be tough. You have to read read read PMBOK
