Lessons learned and some tips and tricks in preparation for the PMP exam shared by the PM PrepCast student - Abhirup Banerjee, PMP

Thank you all.

Over the last 3 months I have been studying with intent and determination which I was thinking to do 1 year back. I believed as any work/project any endeavour needs a strong "why" for it's inception. If one finds the "why" he probably figures out "how" :).

My first Lesson Learned is to Find your own personal motivation for this PMP preparation project.And this one would be your personal reason. Probably no one can tell you what it should be. Think over it and you would know for sure.

Let me share some of the approaches I have taken.

Make a study group with dedicated aspirants, You can choose 1 person, buddy as a co PMP aspirant to study together and brainstorm ideas,solutions.My study group consisted of two persons. Myself and one of my colleague.

Explain and make your spouse understand why being a PMP would help you and your family. Once he/she understands he/she would be your best cheerleader.And you will need One for this challenging exam.

Subscribe to a PMP course. I chose PMPPrepcast , which is by the way awesome.

I am skipping the parts of applying in PMI website, required experience and advantages of being a member. I am assuming you know that already.

- Head First PMP 3rd Edition

- PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam

- PMBOK 5th Edition
