Why You Should Keep Track of Your Mock Exam Scores

Frank Liu passed the PMP® on my first attempt for two months of study. Below is his lessons learned:

• Study materials: PM Prepcast, PM Exam Simulator, PMBOK® Guide Guide and Rita’s PMP® book
• Skimmed PMBOK® Guide for the first time to get an idea on the topics of each chapter
• Studied Rita’s book chapter by chapter and attempted all the chapter quizzes
• Made cross reference to the PMBOK® Guide Guide for wrong answers
• Did a lot of full-length 4-hour practice exams and look for the reasons for getting wrong answers
• kept a spreadsheet of all scores on practice exams and quizzes to see the progress
• Don’t be too discouraged if initial scores were low
• PMstudy.com offers one full-length FREE exam on their website which is very close to the actual PMP® exam
• Try to focus on the PMBOK® Guide as it contains most of the materials on the exam syllabus, don’t worry about other reference books if you do not have enough time
• Did a brain dump of the process chart of PMBOK® Guide Guide
• Didn’t try memorize all of the inputs/outputs. With proper practice, one will remember a few of these naturally
• Spent 1 to 1.5 hrs on weekdays and 3 to 4 hrs on weekends
