?? PMP Exam Made Easy, Tip #6: Join an engaging study community.

It takes a village to raise a child.

Why not take advantage of this concept?

A supportive community helps you accelerate your PMP journey.

A community has people putting collective effort towards ONE goal.

That is very powerful.

You must leverage.

Being part of a supportive community helps you,

  • Try out strategies & tips others share
  • Get support when things are not going well
  • Get an accountability pal & stay on course
  • Find a study buddy & learn together

Your time is precious.

Best spent on study & moving ahead.

What you need to avoid is –

  • Participating in non-PMP topic discussions
  • Joining too many communities
  • Falling for any illegal offers
  • Ego-based discussions

In these communities, you can expect daily sample exam questions & answers, flashcards, study links, interviews with fresh PMPs, and healthy discussions.

?? PMP Exam Made Easy, Tip #7: Your study resources decide how easy or hard PMP is going to be.

If you began PMP study because someone gave you a book, or

you got a free pdf of PMBOK guide as a PMI member,?or

you found a cheap course on Udemy or Skillshare,

you may be in for some hard times.

Let me explain why.

After working closely with over 5782+ PMP students,

interviewing close to 331+ freshly baked PMPs,

answering tens of thousands of emails,

I’ve come to realize this:

?? Your study resources decide how easy or hard PMP is going to be.

PMP is one of the few exams with?such vast content to study.

Even if you take just?PMBOK (with APG), you’ve got about 900+ pages to study.

(and we both know that the preparation takes more than this study).

  • If you don’t enjoy reading a book, PMBOK guide may be of no use.
  • If you find someone’s explanation boring, a course is of no use.
  • If you don’t want to dig in long hours, going solo may be risky.

What am I getting at?

Maybe something you already know.

?? Find out YOUR best way to learn.

Then choose study resources to align with it.

  • Love reading books? – go for?PMBOK?&?Rita?(or?HeadFirst).
  • Love watching videos? – go with a video course.
  • Need guidance & nudge? – find a mentor.
  • Need even more? – go for a combo.

In Summary,

PMP is a medium/long-term goal.

It takes 6 weeks or more, on average.

Please make it as easy for you as possible.

Research and choose your study resources wisely.

Because:

Your TRUE benefit of becoming a better PM happens,

not AFTER you pass the exam with AT results,

but DURING your preparation.

You EARN your PMP through your study,

and not by simply passing an exam.

That’s the truth.
