How steep is the learning curve if you’re not from dev/product? Curious to hear from learners and passers. Thanks!

Paul,

i found studying for the PMP exam to be extremely difficult. My background is highly scientific (chemical process) and doing the PMP was like learning a second language for me. However, once I "cracked the code" for me (how the language works), studying became much easier.

I think the learning curve will be very subjective for each individual. Some will have a knack for it, others not. I did not and that made it difficult.

Your mileage will certainly vary.

Good luck!
