Abridged: PMP exam preparation tips

Although I passed PMP last year, but there was a constant lurking inside me to share my experiences which could help all the PMP aspirants in their preparation for the exam.

I would like to summarize few points,whichever I could remember.

**The very first thing which I have experienced is that the exam test your in-depth knowledge of the subject. You are put into situations via questions to place yourself ,think and act like PM all through the exam. So you need to first start cultivating that habit of thinking on the lines of PMBOK and live and breathe it all during your preparation**

1- Plan well, every exam or test has a "gameplan". So you need to first chalk out your "gameplan" by writing it out. And yes writing will help you because then you can reflect and check during your preparation where exactly you are standing.

Remember :Everyone has a unique gameplan which suits him or her , so its a not a fit-all-recipe-to-success.

2- Your game plan might include the number of hours you need to devote each day , on weekends and you need to commit to it.

3- Use good resources for your preparation (PMBOK, RITA are sufficient enough to crack the exam).

4- Do not overindulge in practicing from free resources. Try to use paid simulation exams and that too include in your "gameplan" that how many of those simulation exams you need to appear before the exam date.
