Michael Congratulations

Kiranmai,

I would first start by logging into PMI.org website and downloading the PMP handbook which will provide you with what you need to know and do to earn your PMP certification.

www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public...ssional-handbook.pdf

It is very important to read and understand the requirements and to be be sure you can meet the experience requirements before you put effort into earning the 35 contact hours required and begin to prepare for the exam. You really need to look at the timeline carefully.

I think that it is important to treat this effort as a project and plan your timeline carefully and stick to the plan. Best of luck to you.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi,

Can you please help me on where to start first for PMP certification?

Passed mine today too

I will start with the easier questions first. For EVM there were probably 3 questions total. Basic ITTO questions, I don't think there were any that specifically asked what is an ITTO in a specific process.

The second exam definitely had a lot shorter questions and answers compared to my first exam.

My personal suggestion (everyone learns different) is to work through the process flow and see where outputs are generated and where they are inputs. This allowed me to not just memorize the ITTO but it allowed me to see how processes interacted with each other and where documents/plans were inputs.

Michael, I'd like to hear a little more about this. You mentioned the high percentage of Situational questions. How about basic ITTO questions. If you have taken a bunch of Prepcast simulator questions, then you know of the high percentage of " Aquire Project Team has these Tools and Techniques, which one is missing?" types of questions. Did you see anything like that?
You mentioned that the first time you took it the high amount of words in questions, do you feel the 2nd attempt was easier as far as amount to read goes? Low number of EVM questions is bad for me, it's the only thing I get all correct:)
I'm terrible with time on these exams. I took 200 questions yesterday early morning, I needed all 4 hours , only had marked 2 questions, I answered one of them and ran out of time on the other, ...it was a TCPI question where you needed to figure out ECA first, or so I thought, the answer said you could do AC + BAC-EV/BAC-AC. That would have been easier.

Contgrats on the exam!
