PMP examanation requires well planned preparation. I just took one month to prepare for the examination and I acquired my PMP certificate in a first attempt. I do not want to limit my preparation for a few hours in a day. The preparation was my background process wheverever I was all these days. I developed a thorough understanding of Input, Tools and techniques and output and also familiarized with the PMP formulae. I recollected them often whenever I was not engaged in any serious work. I practised some of the questions that are available in the net and read the success storeis shared by some of the successful certified professionals. I was very comfortable in the examination hall. Fianlly, everything was over with a message 'CONGRATULATION' on the screen.
