Student Profile

"My #1 recommendation for those studying for the exam is in two parts. First learn your “cheat sheets” so that you can write them out easily and quickly when you start the exam, they really do help. The second part is do lots of practice questions. I would typically do them 100 at a time to get used to what they look like and be sure I would be able to finish in time. I started each practice test session by writing out the cheat sheets..."

Pass it on!!! The Short Guide to the PMBOK Guide

The PMBOK Guide is the primary document that you have to study for your PMP exam.

Unfortunately, it is not a very easily readable document and actually contains quite dry, academic text.

The Short Guide to The PMBOK Guide is your introduction to the 10 Knowledge Areas from the PMBOK Guide.

This will give you an easy to understand "executive overview"of The PMBOK Guide.

It's much more straightforward and understandable for you!

If you know anybody who will benefit from this FREE Ebook, we'd appreciate it if you can passit on to them!

Thank you in advance!

PMP Exam Tip: Cost of Conformance

There are two separate components within Cost of Quality (COQ) and you must have a complete understanding of both of them for your PMP Exam.

One is the Cost of Nonconformance, which is the money (and time) that will be spent due to the failure of a deliverable from your project.

The other is the Cost of Conformance. This is the figure that is determined to be necessary to avoid those failures in the first place.

Lessons Learned from Craig Arcuri, PMP

Lessons learned and prep materials to share from the PMP exam by PM PrepCast student - Craig Arcuri, PMP

*PM Prepcast: I have a 50 minute one way commute, so the prepcast was essential. If I had to do it over again, I'd study the PMBOK Chapters concurrently while listening to the same chapters on the prepcast (not while driving though!). The prepcast does a great job of covering the PMBOK AND topics which are not in the PMBOK.

*PM Exam Simulator: I took 7 of the 8 full exams provided. My scores ranged from 79 to 83%. This was done over a 3 week period. In hindsight, I would have started taking the tests a little earlier because it's difficult to make a dramatic improvement if you only have 3 or 4 days between practice tests. At the end of my preparation (3 of the last 9 weeks) my main focus was the simulator practice tests. I'd spread the tests out a bit more if possible. The tests are brutally effective in exposing your weaknesses. I then reviewed each test and made flashcards of week areas...
