Some of them have so many typos and I lost interest. Some of them are too simple or 2 liner questions. Mock tests: I spent last 10 days before the exam on mock tests. I read the notes during my journey to office in train for a week. It was very handy during last 10days before the exam. During the free time at office, I used to continue reading to crash my schedule. However, the notes for the same chapter from both the sources will be one after the other in my notebook. I used to put a heading like “Rita 3 – Project Integration Management” or “PMBOK 3 – Project Integration Management” to distinguish the source of information in my notes. This site covers all the concepts from PMBOK in chapter-wise tests. I registered myself in (free portal) and took free test after PMBOK chapter. On the next day, I used to read the same chapter in PMBOK, which gives the inputs, tools and techniques, outputs clearly and explains them in detail whereas Rita’s way is covering all the important points from understanding and exam perspective. I repeated the following cycle for 3 times:Īll important points, formulae and calculations, notes on questions where I went wrong in tests were written in an exclusive PMP notebook. My Preparation-Planning, Execution, Revision:īoth Rita Mulcahy and PMBOK have 600 pages each to read and based on my first chapter reading, I planned to spend 2hr/day during week day, 6 hr/day during the weekend. There are at least 60 questions based on formulae, graphs. Sometimes, the count of total channels is given we have to identify stakeholders from it.ħ) Around 8 questions on estimation (Gamma method) using optimistic, most likely, pessimistic estimatesĨ) At least 6 questions on conflict resolution- Situation is given we have to identify which strategy was appliedĩ) 2 questions on tools and techniques, 2 questions on outputs, 2-3 questions on decision tree Situation is given and we have to mention the stage.ĥ) Around 15 Risk response strategy questions - Situation is given and we have to provide the strategy being applied.Ħ) Around 6 questions on number of communication channels. If you have good understanding, you will get all answers correct.Ģ) Close to 15 questions were asked on handling scope changes (situation based) – No straight question, all of them need thinkingģ) Around 10 Project closure tasks – Lessons learnt and sequence of activities involvedĤ) Around 10 questions on team formation stages (Form-storm-Norm-Perform-Adjourn). Important areas to be covered based on my exam paper:ġ) Spend a lot of time on exercises for cost calculations (CV, SV, CPI, SPI, EAC). When it shows 30 -50 seconds time left, click on “Go” button for submission. Do not mark more than 15 questions for final review.ĥ) Do not wait till the last second for submitting the answers. Your 4hr clock won’t be ticking at that time.Ģ) Take breaks judiciously as the clock won’t stop during break time.ģ) Do not spend too much of time on 1 question (not more than 2mins).Ĥ) Keep doubtful questions for review (by clicking Mark button) after giving the best answer. My reading material was (soft copies):ġ) Rita Mulcahy’s “PMP Exam Prep 8th Edition”ġ) Before you start the exam, write the formulae on yellow papers given by Prometric centre. My journey to PMP started on as a new year resolution. The objective behind my PMP is professional learning and accomplishment.
