Please read those who are going to write the exam before Aug 31

 Hello,

Thank you for taking some time out for reading this post, i just cleared my PMP exam yesterday.

I have been reading all the posts here and they all cram up a lot of stuff to read. Let me simplify it a bit

My background:

I have been handling projects but not the PMI way, it was freelance project. I just completed my 3rd year in Business Technology Management where one of the subjects were IT Project managements.

I did my PMP workshop last year.

 

Preparation Time:

I had 3 weeks of preparation time before i wrote my exam.

 

Study Method:

1) PMBOK

2) PMBOK

3) PMBOK

4) PMStudy.com exams

Please dont read Rita if you are going to give the exam before 31st August, because the exam is no where close to what Rita blabbers. The entire Exam is based on the PMBOk, so make sure you read every word from the book and know it as well.

Exam:

Many test takers will find it a difficult exam, i found it myself, even though i had project management knowledge. Rita's book nor did her simulation test helped. The questions are totally different and difficult.

You have to be very very careful reading the question and the 4 choices, make sure you notice the words if they are asking for a "Process" and in which  "Knowledge Area".

I had a quite a few questions which i had to perform calculations, IRR, TCPI, Pert, Profit/loss.

again the test is not easy, the ethical questions are tricky so are the rest.

Just follow your instinct and while rewieving dont change your answers :)

 

All the best to everyone.

 

 

totally agree with the comments..!!!


exam is no where close to ritas fastrack, instead i found it very close to pmstudy four question sets...!!!!


 


 


Regards

Congratulations on your PMP. Thanks for sharing your experience here.

 Congratulations for passing the exam. But I do not agree with you regarding Rita. Although the questions in Rita book or Fastrack are not similar to the ones in the Exam (some of them are similar as well) but still it makes the foundation to be prepared and handle the questions like that.

 

Thanks
