I passed the PMP exam on 02/19/10 and owe a great deal of gratitude to Mr. Fichtner for his very valuable "prepcast" series.
My study material included:
- PMBOK®Guide—FourthEdition, - The Project Management Institute, Inc.
- PMP® Exam Prep – Sixth Edition - Rita Mulcahy
- The Project Management PrepCast™ - Cornelius Fichtner
- PMP Exam eFlashCards - Cornelius Fichtner
To study, I approached it once chapter at a time, reading a chapter from the PMBOK, then listening to the podcasts that associated with that chapter, then taking the test offered for the same chapter in the Rita book.
I also took the free test offered at
www.pmstudy.com
and purchased 2 additional tests for $20 each. Once I could pass the tests, then I felt ready enough to take the official test.
I started studying after completing a 35hr onsite class ‘Master Certificate in Project Management' at Nova University on 11/21/09. Two fellow students and I formed a weekly study group which helped me stay motivated.
Whenever I had a moment, I fit in a pod cast and often fell asleep in the evening listening to Cornelius Fichtner!
Thank-you!!
