Cleared PMP Today......Mission Accomplished and Project closed..
Hi,
Today i cleared PMP certification, with 3 MP, 2 P and 1 BP.
Here is my experience on this road..
Started in Dec' 10 and on-off study for the month of Jan-FEB' 11 because of other work priorities.
I would say exam was not that diffcult, it was tricky. Let me confess few questions went straight above
my head and mathmetical questions were not that diffcult, straight calculation expect 2 or 3 questions.
I would recommend know exactly what information goes in which documents in project management and
Stick to PMBOK.
I read Rita book once and read PMBOK thrice and refered RITA whenever required.
Didn't memorize ITTO, but understood the relationship and knew the difference what are tools and what
are input and outputs. Tired few free mocks exams like exam central, PM study, Oliver...and all Questions
at the end of chapters in RITA Book.
Thanks to Rajesh Notes, they are pretty handy in last days revisions. PM zilla is good to discuss concepts when in doubt and read other people experience.
Also refered http://www.deepfriedbrainpmp.com/. Its good too
Reached exam center 1 hour in advance and they allowed me to start the exam.
Strategy for exam was, do all questions first which i know and i finished that in first two hours (200 Q) and approx. i marked 40 questions. Next 30-35 minutes did those 40 questions and in next 1 hour and 10 mins reviewed all my answers and changed few answers. Total exam time 03 hours and 40 minutes. And trust me that moment when screen was blank, i was praying to god...and i was happy to see "PASS".
All the best to all other PMP aspirants ...
Going for movie to enjoy this moment.....
Any suggestion, what other certifications people go after clearing PMP.
