Just need to update about my present status of PMP preparation and
looking for your valuable inputs so that I can achieve my goal to pass
the exam on 10 Mar 2013.

Please find the below details which I have already did till now.

> Have attended 24 Jan 2103 to 27 Jan 2013.
> Till now I have gone through PMBOK 2 times. And Head First 1 time.
> Till now I have appeared in 2 Mock tests. In 1 I got 54.5 %( appeared after 1st reading of the PMBOK & Head first) and in second I got 57.5 %( appeared after completed the second time PMBOK reading).

Future plans are:
> By this weekend I will go through 2 or 3 chapters from Head first. I go through those knowledge areas where need more understanding.
> On this weekend either 23 Feb or 24 Feb I will give 3rd Mock test.
> After that from 25 Feb to 3rd Mar will go through PMBOK third time.
> From 3rd Mar to 8 Mar I will give remaining 7 Mock tests.

Please give me your valuable input about above mentioned plan. And let

 Hi Gaurav,

 

Considering you have set a target date for exam Mar 10, I think you would need to speed up your revision..You need to get your scores in mock tests in the range 70-80. Thats safer.  My advice is not to depend on single source for mock tests, please try to give mock tests from Headfirst, Olivers, PMStudy as well.. Hope while you are completeing one pass of PMBOK you are covering glossary , Apendix G as well. Notedown ares of gaps.  In the last week better not to take too many mock tests..keep major part of your time revising PMBOK and any note you have prepared or Rajesh Nair notes.

 

Hope that helps!

Vani

 Dear Gaurav,

Time is of essence here!. Considering your mock tests performance, you need more time to study PMBOK in details. Every sentence in PMBOK is a potential question and understanding is the key. From my point of view and experience; it is advisable to read through PMBOK again, take a couple of mock tests from various verifiable good sources and refer to answers from the PMBOK to fill your knowledge gaps. If possible avoid taking tests few days to exams and concentrate on the PMBOK and some valuable notes from PMZilla. Good luck!.

You need to improve your performance in mock tests, read some more material which is available on PMZilla , try to get hold of Rita's book if possible.

You should be scoring 70 to 75% consistently in your mock tests especially in the ones which are easy.
