Hello Members!
Yesterday I have passed the PMP exam and probably the first PMP After change in exam basis to PMBOK5 [After change in exam, in India yesterday was first day available only in Mumbai between 5-9 pm and I was the only candidate there ] Background: Actually I started preparing for PMP in Mar 2012. Due to some family issues the plan was procrastinated indefinitely. I had prepared earlier for PMBOK4 but while scheduling the exam I could schedule at the earliest on 6th August. So I had to read PMBOK5 [of course I read it cover to cover]. Methodology: 1. Read Andy Crowe's book [this was my first resource to PMP study] a great book. 2. PM Prepcast by Cornelius Fichtner - Contact hours [PMBOK Version 4 cause I had subscribed long back] This was really helpful since with boot camps the instructor will be there with you for 4 days but Cornelius stays with you forever 3. Oliver's online questions 4. Rita's book [borrowed from office library - Found it good resource for Risk and Procurement topics]. 5. PMBOK V4 and V5 cover-to-cover once [you should only refer to 5]. 6. Practice Exams :- a. Many from past LLs. b. The access to eRead section of PMI [once you become member] there are few good online books. 7. LLs from this forum [you should read at least few to see what others have experienced] Four Days prior to exam I was down with fever until previous day of exam, totally exhausted [Take extra care of your health during week of exam]. The Day of exam: Reached Prometric Centre, Mumbai [India] and entered at 4 pm for registration as my exam was from 5 pm-9 pm [there was no choice as my candidature was about to expire, but you should choose daytime for exam]. After doing the registration formalities I was navigated to exam room. First part was a tutorial about how to use controls and calculators for the exam. Actual Exam:- To aspiring PMPs:- Refer PMBOK and just one book [approach of authors confuse at times]. Practice mock exams as much as you can [try taking at least 2 full length exams. I didn't do and hence patience was tested]. Don't procrastinate! If you really want to become PMP start study now but become member and set plan to take exam within 3-6 months. Thank you Cornelius and team for such a wonderful video course! Hope the version 5 is even better! I wish all the best for all aspiring candidates. Nilesh Tandale PMP |
