Passed PMP Exam

james.miller

Greetings,

I'm happy to share that I passed the PMP exam on my first try. I checked a number of blogs and read a lot of published recommendations throughout my prep time. Some were useful, some were not that useful. I decided to post a few tips of my own. Here are my suggestions:
1 - Enroll in a PMP course. Ask around, or check your local PMP chapter, for a credible training provider
2 - Make sure you have the right reading material. I used McGraw-Hill Education PMP Project Management Professional Exam and I'm very happy with my choice. I also used the PMBOK as a reference.
3 - Prepare a study plan - It's amazing how a study plan can help. My initial plan had little to do with its latest versions. Still, the fact that I had plan, helped me to organize my time and prioritize study time over other stuff.

There are other things that helped but these were definitely the most important.

Congratulations, James!

Thanks for sharing your tips. I completely agree with #3 - the need to have a study plan.
