Passed PMP

On May 24th, I appeared for the PMP Certification and passed it. I studied for 2 months and finally cleared it. My secret of success is as follows:
  • Read Rita Mulcahy Guide
  • Read PMBOK
  • Read Rita Mulcahy Guide
  • Read PMBOK
  • Read PMBOK
  • Pmstudy exams
  • Exams from other books like Kim, Joseph Philips
  • Again PMBOK
My PMP experience was very enlightening. Acquiring PM Knowledge is indeed an enriching experience and the confidence which I got, once I acquired the certification is worth all the hardwork. One thing I learned - I found the test to be very focused on application of knowledge/concepts in real world projects, as opposed to knowledge itself. It is very important to understand all concepts. The exam tests the concepts thoroughly.
