How I Passed PMP in 1 Month

Everybody could be a project manager. But only the person with knowledge, performance and personal skills will be a good project manager. PMP gives you this chance to learn some common solutions to the problems you faced in the project over and over again. Before take PMP exam, please make sure complete the prerequisites (secondary degree/7500 hours project time or four-year degree/4500 hours project time, 35 hours education.) Let me share with you some experiences to get PMP certified on time under your time and budget.

Boot Camp

If your company will pay the expense, the quickest way to get PMP in one week is through boot camp. Google PMP boot camp to find it in your local area. Usually it will cost close to $2000 or some discounts on the group price. 

Self Study

You can take 35 contact hours from any PMI Registered Education Provider (REP). I took the one only cost $35 that is no longer exist. But you can check this link to find lower price (e.g. Pluralsight only $29 per month). Must review the latest edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge(PMBOK® Guide) The study book Head First PMP is very easy and fun to read. I suggest to read this book before PMBOK. You can practice mock exams on free PMP practice questions: 120 Sample Test Questions, 7-day free PM simulator and free 50 questions on Whizlabs. Also Google PM cheat sheet for the final review before the exam day.

Conclusion

Even PMP exam has 200 questions, it is not very difficult. Relax and enjoy the exam. Bring water, snacks and energy bars with you on the exam day. During this four-hour-exam, you may want to take a break with refreshment. Please note the change on PMP with PMBOK® Guide sixth edition will be released on 3/26/2018.
