Have a game-plan on Exam day. My strategy was: 1. Write down all the processes in each process mgmt groups. This would help you to refer where exactly you are when you answer a question. 2. Write down all the formulas which you can remember during 15 min tutorial. 3. I skipped all the mathematical questions and long worded questions by 'Marking' them. I didn't want to disrupt my flow. 4. Whatever questions I was unsure of, I wrote the question number so that I can come back and review in the end. 5. Managed my time by not having a break till I answered the 200 questions. I had 45 minutes left before I took my 1st break. Then I answered all the Mathematical questions and reviewed the unsure questions in the last 10 mins. 6. Took an energy bar and drink for the break !! http://www.pmstudy.com login: . Pwd: pmstudy1
- I resolved about 2 thousand questions, including Rita's PM FASTrack software and the free exercises available from the following addresses:

Tips I was looking for material from PMP 4 edition, I came across PM Prepcast by Cornelius Fichtner for $99. Amazing Product, the way he simplified ITTO with reasoning was too good, One such example is Develop schedule ITTO I can never forget. I purchased his PM Study Coach but I never followed - thrown away my money there. BooksPMBOK the bible. PMBOK made sense to me after watching Cornelius videos. Rita Mulcahy I read the whole book twice and also bought Fastrack. I also read Andy Crowe. After reading Andy Crowe's book I liked his style more than Rita's. I memorized most of the ITTO and also I suggest to.
ExamsPMSTUDY1 (free) – 73% PMSTUDY1 (free) – 72% Oliverlehamann – 58 % PMroadtrip – 71 % Headfirst – 78 % SuperPMP (fastrack) – 74% Andy Crowe – 80% PMStudy, Headfirst are similar to actual exam Forums- How they supported me. Study group is very essential when you are preparing for the PMP. Due to my hectic schedule I never found any patner, the only substitue was the forums
PMZilla too good. DeepFriedBrainPMP - The best. For example his explanation on TCPI. Awesome Harwinder, Keep up the good stuff. project-management-prepcast by Cornelius Fitchner. I used to take notes on all the incorrect answers I got and used to analyze why I got it wrong. I used to put in extra hours during weekends. So by July I finished all this and began reading PMBOK once more, this time I prepared an ITTO dump, using mnemonics. I tried this site and found it to be quite good. Thanks Harwinder! www.monkibo.com/pmp-exam-itto-trainer/index.html. Had a detailed reading of Andy Crown Book - excellent book to make the concepts ultra clear. Finished in 3 weeks Gave the sample exam on pmpmodel.com (good quality free exam). It helped me to understand the gaps and specific terminologies that I was missing from PMBO
1. Read PMBOK twice 2. Did the PMEducate Exam prep course and did their exams. 3. Did Rita 6th plus all the questions in the book. 4. Brain dump prep: 42 processes, all formulas, Deming, Crosby etc. Every day I would jot these down before I started to study. This is a simple way to get some of the questions right, so definitely do it. 5. Rita PMIsm. These are important as there is definitely an idealogy behind PMI. It will help you get a lot of tricky questions right.
6. Rita FastTrack exams (72%, 79%, 74%) This is the best exam simulation. I recommend it. BTW she suggests that you only do two exams otherwise you will get a lot of repeat questions. 7. Headfirst (82%) 8. Oliverlehmann 75 (63%) 9. PMZilla (84%) Following are the practice tests which I took
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Oliver 75 questions – 80% Head First PMP – 88 % Oliver 175 questions – 74% PMSTUDY 1 – 92% PMSTUDY 2 – 87.71% PMSTUDY3 – 88% PMSTUDY4- 86% Fastrack – around 83-87% in all the knowledge areas Effective PMC -85% Simplilearn – 85% ( I don’t recommend this test as I felt like some of the questions very wrong)
1) Key concept: Do what's good for 1) the customer 2) then your organization. 2) According to pmi.org, PM rules. S/He is empowered to do anything, solve everything. S/He seeks to solve and not be passive (that is a key concept). The right answer is always the PM doing something, presenting a solution. Avoid answers to situational questions that can be considered passive. 3) Always be fair. Key concept: "win-win". 4) Important: Know the right tools and their application. Example, why use a flowchart, run chart, pareto, etc.? Which processes are they used for? If you can answer those 2 questions, you are ready. 5) Again, don't memorize, you need to understand the concepts instead. Even the formula, no need to memorize if you understand their application - I am not kidding. 7) Read the entire question. There are subtle keywords that will direct you to the right answer. Read all 4 answer options. I noticed that there are always 1 in the set that tricks your mind into tripping you - avoid that 1 if you are guessing. IF you are just guessing, try to pick the next best answer - chances are, they are trying to trick ya!
What material would you recommend? I didn't use all the books and tests, so this is based solely on the materials I used. These are widly available to buy or steal (if your concience allows), so here you go: Books: PMBOK: Covers almost everything you need to know for the test. It's all in there but nothing is highlighted out so that's why you need prep books. People complain about what a terrible read it is, yes it is dry but I am an Engineer so I have done much worse. It is a little dry but nothing horrible. (Completeness: 9/10, Presentation: 7/10, Overall: 8/10) Headfirst: Doesn't cover everything. Tests are easy. Presentation is absolutely fantastic. More key concepts got stuck in my head because of this book than any other (e.g. Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control is illustrated with two couches arguing, you'll know it when you see it, it's brilliant). (Completeness: 7/10, Presentation: 10/10, Tests: 7/10 Overall: 7.5/10) Rita Mulcahy: Covers almost everything. The tone in the entire book is cynical and negative. Stories in intros are all depressing, one of them ends with Rita telling one of her students that his boss should've fired him! But... that's not always a bad thing, especially if all you want to do is pass the test, which is all that this book concentrates it's focus on. Tests are excellent, if way too wordy. The actual exam was surprisingly not. If I had only a month, or a week, to study and had to use one book, it would be this. (Completeness: 9/10, Presentation: 7/10, Tests: 8/10 Overall: 8/10) Kim Heldman: Best out of the bunch really. Covers all of what you need to know for the test. Fills all the holes in your knowledge from the other books. Presents it in a regular textbook format, even though there is excessive use of the word "you". Tests are better than Rita but there are only 20 after each chapter and 75 in the beginning so not as many as Rita. (Completeness: 10/10, Presentation: 8/10, Tests: 8/10 Overall: 8.5/10) There is another one I tried to read by Joseph Phillips but I ran out of time and it was horrible. Tests: I did mostly free ones, seriously there is so much free shit on the internet, you'd be an idiot to pay the big bucks for simulators. I actually ran out of time to do all the free tests I printed out. This is solely based on my recollection so I may screw up and I am sure I am missing a few. My first tries were a month into the preparation and seconds were a month after that. Here are my ratings and marks: Free (or in the book):
PMStudy: Probably the best out of the bunch. Takes exact quotes out of PMBOK which is the best part. Most like what you are likely to see on the actual exam about which I am not going to reveal much but watch out for semantics. (Marks: First try (78%), Second try: (89%), Rating: 9/10) Oliver Lehmann: Has a good mixture of the easy and the difficult like the exam, but it's difficult are way too difficult unlike the actual exam. Still, great quality questions. (Marks: 75Q First try (69%), Second try: (78%), 175Q: First Try (78%) Rating: 8.5/10) Kim Heldman 75Q: A lot like the actual exam. (Marks: First try (75%), Second try: (93%), Rating: 8/10) SimpliLearn: Seems to get maligned around these parts because of advertising tactics. The test however is actially good! Also, better formatted than any of the other ones. Some answers I am sure are wrong though. But hey, it's free. (Marks: First try (69%), Second try: (79%), Rating: 7.5/10) Edwel: Good quality questions. Eays formatting. Some questions again I think are wrong. On the harder side as well. (Marks: First try (76%), Second try: (77%), Rating: 7.5/10) PMRoadtrip: Good test overall. (Marks: First try (84%), Rating: 7.5/10) Headfirst: Easy. (Marks: First try (87%), Second try: (93%), Rating: 7/10) PMPModel: Mix of good, bacd and the ugly. Go for it anyways. (Marks: First try (76%), Rating: 7.5/10) techfaq(81%), PM-ABC (80%), effectivepmc: Stay away. Waste of time. Caution: Watch out for bad tests. They have bad questions, wrong answers and incorrect format. They'll do more harm than good as they'll confuse you. Paid: I bought the PMStudy exams last weekend after much deliberation. Mixed decision. Tests are excellent, but I am not sure how much extra I got out of them since I was at the peak of preparation and pretty much killed them. Did point out some holes in my knowledge. Highly recommended though. First test is a lot like the free test, stil can't go wrong with four test for 50 bucks. PM Study 1: 89%; PM Study 2: 86%, PM Study 3: 88%, PM Study 4: 85% What should be my study plan? I did all of the follwing but in a different order. If I could go back in time, this is how I would tell myself to go about it. Call it 10 Steps to PMP Success:
(Note: using all the material I pointed out above) 1. Read the PMBOK and Headfirst together chapter-by-chapter. Do the 200 Question Headfirst Test. 2. Read through Rita book and do all the problems at the back. I got 60-80% in my first try. 3. Try some free tests mentioned above. You should be scoring 70% by now. 4. Read Kim Heldman and do all the problems at the back. I got 70%+ in my first go. 5. Try some more free tests. You should be scoring ~80% by now. 6. Re-read Rita and Kim and do all the tests all over again. You should get at least 80% by now. 7. Re-do as many free tests you like as you can. See where you stand. You should be ~ mid 80s by now. 8. Memorize the ITTOs. More on this below. 9. Re-read PMBOK and the gloassary. It'll all make sense now. 10. Buy the PM Study 4 pack. If you're not scoring high 80s in them by now, there's something wrong. So that's it fow the newbies. Good luck!
Lessons Learned, Tips and Tricks: Now the dreaded question: To Memorize or not to memorize the ITTOs? I say, do it. Make the memonics and get it done with. I know I wouldn't have got at least 10 questions right on the exam without it. It's difficult, you have to remember over 500 fields! I did it though, over the long weekend and narrated them out perfectly by the end to my wife. Although I agree you can get most of them right anyways, but the ones on my exam were tricky and I couldn't have got 'em right without memorization. The ones on sample tests tend to be easy. What was on my Brain dump sheet? I had all 42 processes, ITTO mnemonics and outputs. EAC formulas for each variation, Final Fee/ Cost and PTA formulas. ITTOs helped a lot, though I got burnt and most of my questions were on inputs. Great to have them, if for nothing, just the sense of security. Formulas didn't help at all.
Tips and Tricks: 1. Know your change control process. Can't stress that much, exam is obsessed with it. 2. Know the order of closing activities and the whole process group in general. I blame my "Moderate" proeficiency on the books. None of them including PMBOK cover it well. 3. Know your project selection methods well. NPV, IRR etc. 4. Most really intricate stuff is not on the exam. Sample tests love to put that stuff in there to trick you, but hardly worth knowing everything. Get your fundamentals right. 5. The exam is tricky. It'll try and trick you out of stuff you already know. Watch out and read the questions clearly. 6. Quality and Risk are two big ones. Prepare those well
Solution: Do Alternate Analysis. Read books and articles that present these concepts in a simple format. e.g. HeadFirst PMP; Jim Owens articles on each of these KAs presented nicely at PMHUB.Net site. http://www.pmhub.net/index.php? id=news.display&newsid=NW4a737930a681c Also DEEPFRIEDBRAINPMP.com is another highly valuable resource with articles and tips. Read these first to develop a good understanding, then come back to PMBOK4.
29Oct10 My study plan starting from 8th June: • Read Rita’s book – 3 times in total (1 very concentrated and on my 2nd and 3rd pass I skimmed through the material without paying attention to the exams etc.). This is the right time that I DO NOT study Rita’s process chart. It seemed me very difficult for me. However the book covers all the things that I found on the exam. I took 3 times all sample questions after each chapter in the book. • Read PMBOK – 2 times very concentrated in order to understand all ITTOs. • Read Information technology project management by Kathy Schwalbe – 1 time in order to gain different point of view. It is a good book because inside you can find examples from real life situations under the form of “Which went wrong…” and “Which went right…” • Memorize p. 43 from PMBOK as well as all formulas (EV, PTA, PERT, SD, EMP etc) – I DO NOT memorizes the ITTOs and I advise to try to simply understand them. It is not so hard.
•
I practice many, many mock exams. I really can recommend the following: o Head first PMP sample exam (free) o Rita’s FASTRACK (paid) o www.passionatepm.com (free) o PMStudy (1 free, full package is paid) o PMI – Prometric 100 PMP Sample questions (paid) o Oliver Lehmann PMP sample questions
In October I bought PMStudy package and I really can advise it as the questions are very close to the real exam questions. On the exam: • •
The questions weren’t very wordy – if you practice Rita’s super PMP you will find the questions on the exam easier. May be it is a matter of luck but I found many questions related to quality, especially Pareto, control, fishbone, Ishikawa diagrams.

PMP Exam Tips, Tricks and Lessons Learnt.
Hi all: Passed PMP yesterday but after a full day at work and 4 hours of gruelling test, I didn't have it in me to come up with an LL. Having said that, I wanted to write a good LL because all I have been doing at these forum(s) for months is using all the wisdom and tips and now it's time to give some back. So I wanted to structure this LL slightly differently. I had some basic questions when I started with this process in the beginning of May and I want to answer those for complete newbies before moving into my LL. I got Proeficient inthe first 4 and Moderate Proeficient in last 2 process groups. What would I need? At the very least PMBOK and an exam prep book, throw in a few paid exam if you want. recommendations below. What material would you recommend? I didn't use all the books and tests, so this is based solely on the materials I used.

Exam Day: Worked all day. had the test at 5 PM. Got there early and they gave me a choice to start early which I did. Took a protien bar and Sobe. Great idea! You'll need it. Took a brief pause every half hour and a break at every hour. I was going about 40 qns. every half
hour as I did in most good sample exams and was done in 2.5 hours. Took rest of the 1.5 hour to go through all the questions all over again, changed maybe 5-10. I know a few of them I had got wrong the first time around. Finished. Heart was pounding during the survey despite the fact that I knew i would pass. 3.5 months flashed by my eyes. Congratulations! Fuckin' A. Done with it, over, sense of relief washed over like fountains of zamzam. Live long and prosper, Prashin, P(i)MP Start Pmzilla
I then read Jim Owen's papers on each of the knowledge areas, which were very good because they are short, and he gives you the key items and areas to focus on in each knowledge area for the exam. 3) DeepfriedbrianPMP.com.

TIP when you first read the question in the exam, underline the word “more” (or “less” or whatever) so it stands out. 1 December 2010
Lately I ordered PMP exam book by Joseph Philips, I could not read fully, but I practiced questions in CD that come along with book which are also very nearer to exam - I resolved about 2 thousand questions, including Rita's PM FASTrack software and the free exercises available from the following addresses:
