1. Refer to multiple books Refer to multiple books and sources of information. Some books are good in some areas while some are good in other areas.
For example, the Head First book is very easy to read ad thebest book to start with, to get initial east understandings with its easy explanations and examples, but is not so good when it comes the numericals. Rita Mulcahy’s book is excellent for numericals and good to read at a later stage of your preparation. 2. Join a study and discussion group Recommended to join a discuss group so that you can exchange notes....not only from your studies but also from your project management experiences. Exchanging notes and discussing is one of the best ways to clear doubts and queries you would have. 3. Take a PMP class Even though PMI does not mandate that you should take a study class and you can still claim PDUs for your project management related activities at work, it is better to take a PMP class because the project management practices you are following at work may not be as recommended by the PMBOK, and this will lead to incorrect understanding of processes. 4. Use Flashcards Flashcards will help you prepare on the go. Preparing for PMP requires a high degree of concentration and focus, so you need to be able to revise and prepare even when you are travelling or not at your study desk. 5. Use a study plan Absolutely critical to have a study plan so that you are following a structured study methodology to cover all the portions evenly and get an understanding of all the knowledge areas and processes. Remember…PMP requires that you clear ALL the sections. 6. Take practice tests smartly There is a natural tendency to go over the areas which you like and are comfortable with, more often, and not focus on those you don’t like. But the objective of practice tests is to identify which are your weak areas, so that you can focus on those. So as important as it is to take the test, it is even more important to analyse your results and identify your weak areas for improvemen. -- Thanks and Regards, Sidd Check out my latest PMP apps for Android devices: 1.
