Featured PMP Exam Lessons Learned from Edward Chung, PMP

This week's featured lessons learned comes to us courtesy of Edward Chung. In this lesson learned Edward shared with us the tools and techniques that made him succeed the PMP exam.

- Document Review
The document I am talking about is of course the PMBOK® Guide . I read through it twice during my preparation. This is of utmost importance as any reference books do not contain 100% of the contents from this book.
- Decomposition
PMI does not require the contact hours to be attainted through formal face-to-face lectures.
- Progressive Elaboration
Everyone agrees that the PMBOK® Guide is a dry read. I do. I read it twice during my preparation without falling asleep. How? During the first time, I read it as fast as I could without trying to memorize any single bit of information from the guide (somewhat like skimming the contents).
- Performance Review
Originally, I planned to prepare for the PMP exam for 3 months. But when I noticed that I reached milestones much faster than I anticipated, I fixed the date of PMP exam a month earlier. In total, it took me 2 months to clear the PMP exam.
