Lessons Learned from Rahul Kakkar, PMP

Lessons learned and experiences from the PMP exam shared by the PM PrepCast student - Rahul Kakkar, PMP.

My study plan would seem a bit elaborate (4 months) but that's only because I'm a slow learner.

No wait, actually I'm not a slow learner I'm a terrible procrastinator. I love to keep things for the last minute and it's my biggest curse. Knowing that about myself I started to make my study plan. Before I get to it, let me list down the resources I used to study:

  1. PM PrepCast
  2. PMBOK 5th edition
  3. The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try, by Andy Crowe.
  4. Head First PMP
