Couple of hours ago i cleared my PMP exam on first try. Here is my lesson learned
Material Followed
1. PM Prepcast
2. PMBOK by Project Management Institute
3. Rita's PMP Prep Book
4. Q & A for the PMBOK Guide, Project Management Institute
5. Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling by Harold Kerzner (only exercise)
6. Ucertify PMP Prep
Methodology
Followed PM Prepcast with PMBOK Guide to clarify basic understanding. Read Rita thoroughly for clearing additional concepts and exercise. I have revised PMBOK and Rita more than twice and also prepared note with my understanding. I took ucertify, Lehman, PM Study and Headfirst Free exams. My results came just above average. Some days back while browsing PMP site i came across Q & A for the PMBOK Guide and Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling by Harold Kerzner, ecopy which is free for members. I have gone through the Q&A for PMBOK and only exercise for Kerzer book as I did not have enough time to go through the book, but i feel that would be a great book to strength our understanding on project management concepts.
And i went ahead for the exam after rescheduling exam for more than 4times !!! I studied on and off for last 1 year.
