PMP Exam Coaching Experience with Derek Satz

This is the second of three interviews in this series, in which we focus on the coaching student. It's a lessons learned interview from the perspective of the PMP exam student who used a coach so that we can learn how a PMP Tutor helps his students to achieve success.

In this interview we welcome Derek Satz, PMP and we will be hearing about his trials and tribulations in preparing for this exam.

One very notable fact about Derek is this: Derek has 11 certifications to his name and he says that the PMP certification was the most difficult one to achieve.

I asked him why he thinks that the PMP exam is so much more difficult and I read you his answer during the introduction of the interview. It's a long introduction, but worth hearing.

PMP Exam Sample Question

What should you do this time to ensure that you have more control over the outsourced work?

A. Micro-manage the contractor's project management processes
B. Use a Cost Plus Incentive Fee Contract (CPIF)
C. Use a Teaming Agreement

PMP Exam Lessons Learned from Julie Hanson

Lessons learned, study materials used and more shared to us by PM PrepCast student Julie Hanson, PMP.

A great big thank you to the PM PrepCast, Cornelius Fichtner (and Justine!). I passed the PMP yesterday - first try.

It was really important to me to have a "low & slow" training - I did not want to rush through a boot camp style class in a few days. With the PM PrepCast videos - I was able to watch (over & over) any areas that I needed extra practice like Advance Earned Value Management, Decision Tree Analysis, Network Diagram plus other lessons that I simply wanted to rewatch. The email lessons with formulas let me know exactly what to learn and were invaluable to my studies. I am so happy I chose this program for my contact hours and highly recommend it to others. This is my study timeline:
