“I would say doing practice exams, reviewing right/wrong answers, and cross reference back to PMBOK® Guide and Ritas study guide are the best ways to study for the exam.” |
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
