discrepancies between terms and concepts in PMBOK & what is used
in your organization. Please realize that for the PMP Certification
Exam, it is important for you to relate to terms and concepts as in
PMBOK - Every term and every page of PMBOK should be well read and
thoroughly understood.
- Glance through PMBOK first to just get a feel or high level view once.
- In next reading understanding all the processes, interactions, and all the terms and concepts. Make notes that suit you.
- Refer the notes and keep revising it till you feel comfortable.
- You dont have to memorize PMBOK. Try to relate the terms ,
theories and concepts with your experience or with examples. The terms
in PMBOK are inter-related to each other and everything can be mapped
to real-life examples.
Once you have completed reading PMBOK:
- Check for materials on this site or elsewhere to step further into the topics you have doubts.
- Take tests chapter wise for each chapter. then move to next chapter.
- Take overall simulated test to know how close you are
Study Tips:
ƒ Engage while you are learning: -
ƒ Make notes, Summaries & highlight with colors.
ƒ Try to visualize & draw mental picture.
ƒ Use memory association tricks
ƒ Make a study schedule. Include time to take practice test each day, even if it is few questions a day.
ƒ Review & revise things you learnt previous day , before
you start next topic, and do little everyday. Next day review two days
topics and then start.
ƒ Review the definitions in the glossary of the PMBOK
ƒ If you are bored, take breaks, it really helps. Review & revise after break.
ƒ Learning Maps - draw your own pictures for each knowledge
area. You are required to remember lot of stuff, so organize in a
format that is best for you. Use colors, shapes, accessories that will
help you recall things easily.
Tips for taking tests
ƒ Understand Navigation, marking items and go back to specific items
ƒ
use the rest of the time allowed (there is a clock in the upper right
corner of the screen) to write down key formulas or other summary
notes, phrases, and pictures you have memorized.
ƒ Mark any question you are not reasonably sure of, so you can review later
ƒ
Skip any questions that will take "a while" to figure out or
understand - you want to answer all the questions you know first, then
go back and spend time on more complex questions
ƒ Read all questions at least twice before answering
ƒ look for words like "NOT" or "ALWAYS"
ƒ Read all answers, even if you see a correct answer
ƒ there may be a "more" correct answers
ƒ Be calm & positive, Say to yourself, I will pass this test.
