2 short LLs, 1 CAPM ksnganesh and 1 PMP sunredPassed CAPM today (ksganesh) Following are the Lessons Learned for the benefit of others: 1. Read Kim Heldman PMP/CAPM 2 times. Excellent book! Good Luck to all of you! originally in: http://pmhub.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=15295 PMPed on 1/26
After quite an eventful preparation and crazy schedule, I finally took the PMP exam on 26th Jan and cleared it. Got Proficient in 3 categories and Moderately Proficient in 3 categories.
Preparation 1. PMBOK 4th edition – 3 readings (understanding the concepts & jargon was the primary focus) 2. PM Podcast – 2 times 3. Rita – one reading 4. Loads of practice tests TIPS 1. Take the PMI membership – get the PMBOK copy and exam fee discount 2. Get comfortable with PMBOK, not just the chapter but the glossary & annexure as well. They contain very informative concepts which we generally miss out 3. Having real time PM experience helped me a lot in answering situational questions PMP Exam: 1. Out of 200 I got close to 9 math questions. Not a single EVM or complex calculations. Simple SPI/ CPI/ ROC questions 2. The longest question was 5 lines long, most of question were 3 lines long 3. All questions tested the conepts, very few very straight forward 4. It took me 2 hrs 30 minutes to complete my first round of answering 200 questions 5. I marked 24 & skipped 12 questions in first pass 6. Took a break for 10 minutes..ate a snack, relaxed collected my thoughts and went back 7. Took my time to answer all marked & skipped questions in the next 40 minutes. Ended the exam 10 minutes before time 8. Few questions were real bouncers, I figured they might be the test questions All in all, feeling confident about your preparation and not worrying about missed questions is the key. Remember you only have to get 140 right out of 200. All the best for everyone preparing for the exam. Related posts: |
