Hello,
since I earned a few days ago PMI-ACP certificate in a first try, same like with PMP, I'd like to share with you my way- hopefully for your benefits. PREPARATION I bought on Udemy from Joseph Phillips the preparation course to have the required PDUs. I watched it and make some notes in MS Note. I applied for the PMP exam. Since my candidacy has been accepted I start the preparation. I bought the book The PMP Exam. How To Pass on Your First Try written by Crowe I read it through and purchased test simulator from Cornelious Fichtner. After a first trial, I realized that I have some knowledge deficits, thus purchased the next book: PMP Exam Prep written by Rita Mulcahy. For PMI-ACP I bought at the beginning PMI-ACP Exam Prep written by Mike Griffiths. I read one chapter, marked important sentences, that I wanted to repeat afterwards and tested my knowledge in the test simulator (approx. 20 questions). If the score was below 70% i read once again the marked by me important sentences in this chapter + deepen the knowledge on the wrongly answered questions. If the score was above 70% I started with the next chapter. In the end, I made every second-third day test in exam simulator taking 50 questions from all knowledge areas not looking on the time at all. After a week I took the full exam. Since it was positive I paid and scheduled the real exam. I've got an exam date in 3 weeks. I planned to start the exam between 8 AM and 9 AM since there is a positive correlation between the time of a day and brain performance. Since this time I focused on the chapters with the lowest score by first reading once again the marked areas in the book and testing just this chapter knowledge. One week before the exam I tested all the knowledge areas in batches of 50 questions aiming to complete it 10 min. before the allowed time (I did not use the test option with a time limitation, but simply looked on my watch). EXAM I planned to make after every 50 questions a 5 min. break. During the break, I left the computer to drink/eat something. In the first break, I eat sweet fruit bar (for glucose --> dopamine) and drank water. Second break: protein bar + water --> it was lunchtime. Third break: only Red Bull. I tried to answer correctly all the question in a first try since it is the most effective way. If you simply mark an answer without deep consideration you will waste time to read it next time. I marked only these questions that I was REALLY not sure (despite the use of induction and deduction). In the end, I reviewed the marked questions and change it only then when I was at least 90% sure the initial answer was NOK. The studies have shown that there is a higher probability of changing a decision from a good one to a bad one than vice versa. CONCLUSIONS
Good luck! Dawid Jasinski PS. In case of any questions, feel free to reach me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or via my webpage dawidjasinski.com |
