How to pass PMP in your first attempt – PMP Preparation Strategy

Strategy

PMP is the most popular certification for project managers in current time. People who want to make career in project management, they can go ahead with this certification. So, choose this certification and take a step into Certified Project Management Professional. Everyone wants to pass PMP in the first attempt. Passing PMP requires lots of efforts and dedication and since the exam is costly so one requires a very good plan in place. I followed below strategy during my preparation and it helped a lot to pass PMP exam in the very first attempt.

First Step: Take 35 hours contact program from PMI registered education provider. This helps to generate interest in PMP which lays the path for upcoming steps. More details to get it can be checked in the blog :

Second Step: Buy good PMP book which explains all concepts in very easy and interesting way. It is always recommended to study from paperbook. PMP requires lots of concentration and studying on digital devices can easily distract us. Make sure to go through it atleast 3 times. Please check following blog for good PMP books:

Third Step: Study extra material by PMI for the exam pattern change in 2021 : PMP 2021 Extra Study Material

Fourth Step: Subscribe to YouTube Channel for PMP Tricks, Tips, Cheat sheet, Concepts and Questions.

Fifth Step: Understand and memorize ITTOs of all processes through this simple technique.

Sixth Step: Take mock-up tests. It not only improves the speed but also solidifies the concepts. It is very much necessary to check the reason behind every answers as sometimes our answers are correct but our logic is wrong. Make sure to score atleast 90% (which generally one scores after attempting same set of questions atleast 3 times) before taking PMP exam. Questions can be found at the following blog:

Seventh Step: Revise important concepts summarized in the 
PMP section of this website. It helps to quickly go through important points in very short time especially before the exam.
