Wah Mah's journey started June 22 when he signed up to the PM PrepCast and passed the test August 23 with 4 proficients and 1 moderately proficient (closing group). Learn from Wah Mah as he provides the resources he used and his recommendations:
PM PrepCast
- Good as I was able to listen to it in the background as I did house and yard work
- I never had the time to just sit down and give 100% attention to the Prepcast, could have been more effective if I did this
- Recommend as it introduces concepts in a very understandable way
Head First PMP
- I read it once slowly (including doing all the activities) and then read it a second time a little quicker but took notes
- Recommend as it is easy to read and contains probably 95% of the information required for the PMP Exam
- I felt this book was good enough that I didn't read any other prep book
- 84% on practice test, easier than the real test
PMBOK
- I did not attempt to read it as it is very dry
- However, very useful as a reference when I needed to explore concepts further or took look at the various process diagrams and ITTOs
PMP Exam Simulator
- Took 2 full exams during the week before the real exam (82% and 88%)
- Similar to the real test
