Summary: The PMP exam is similar to other professional level certifications in that the content of the exam is based on reality, but one must also place their minds in "test mode" and at times suspend the realities of project management. In this episode I will share how I studied, where I stumbled and the tools and techniques I followed to successfully pass the Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam on my first try. "Between the Slides 5" for this episode: * Determine your learning style, e.g. do you need an in person boot camp or is an online course. Then book it. * Don't read the PMBOK straight through. It's overwhelming. * Do not get lost memorizing every formula and ITTO chart. Instead focus on what values or ranges are good and which are bad. * Know the process group, knowledge area and process chart to the point you can write it out. * Early in process take a full exam to benchmark. Study weak points. | Close to exam time drill 10 question knowledge area focused quizzes, study answers, then re-take until you pass the same quiz 3 times. Re-take full exam. Rinse and repeat as needed. Please take time to visit the show website and please also rate, subscribe to the podcast and leave a written review wherever you listen to your podcasts.
