First of all thank you very much for considering me as an expert.
If someone wanted to have the PMP certificate should make at least one online specific course for PMP.
There are a lot of them in the internet. In these online courses -it is a must to do one course (online or face to face attendance)- you will have the proper study plan, access to a questions like the actual exam where you can practise and check your marks.
Check European or American companies.
Let me first say thanks for invitation and I hope success for all,
Analysis of lessons learned from successful exam candidates show there are common study plan Best Practices:
AND first step :
The PMP exam is based on A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge – Fifth Edition (PMBOK® Guide
2- One thing that I found very useful however is using exam simulators
3-would advise you to do a sample exam
Thanks for invitation,
I think first everybody should be familiar with the culture of PMBOK, I believe everybody who want to attend in the exam has enough experience in project but the culture of PMBOK should be learned as a standard.
secondly he/she should be familiar with the tricks of questions and be careful about them. and it could be obtained by exercises on standard questions which are available in the internet.
Hi,
Thanks for the question and invitation.
While preparing for PMP certification, you may find abundant resource available online. And you get confused about which material to go through or which strategy to follow.
First thing you need to do is prepare your mind for PMP type of exam where the question is not asked to check your knowledge, rather applicability of your knowledge. For that I would recommend you to go through Mindset for Passing PMP.
After understanding the PMBOK-5 terminology, trying as many sample questions is important to understand the kind of scenario that is used in exam questions. Also limit the time for preparation to a maximum of two to four weeks.
Best of luck.

I will Share My Preparation Strategy:
1. Reviewed PMBOK Guide along with Rita Mulachy once after I completed the training and second time a month back. 2. ITTO - This was a huge concern when I started the preparation but after the training and first revision, I know it is not required to memorize everything but required for few key inputs like mgmt plans, baselines, project scope statement and others. I wanted to ensure that I am not missing on Knowledge based questions and wanted to avoid "Should Have or Could Have studied" feeling during exam time, so I will try to frame as much as questions in each sentence/para and accordingly highlight them and mark points and took notes. Reference Materials: For Knowledge/Formula Based Questions:- I took lot of Mock Exams and Chrisopher Scordo qns in the PMI Book section helped me a lot. HeadFirst critical path guide was good. For Scenario Based Questions: I revised all free question banks listed in http://www.oliverlehmann.com/pmp-self-test/-free-questions.htm. I would recommend Cornelius, Simplilearn, Certgear, PMstudy and Farndale's guide (this is not listed in that link but can be downloaded separately). I was scoring on average-%. That was kind of depressing after all the preparation, but during it was suggested that we should not concentrate or plan our exam expecting that we will score-% during our training. So I accepted that. Also reviewed qns in Google books (Kim Heldman, Michael Newell, David Francis, and Joseph Philips). Note - I don't want to be stumped during exam with time constraints and I reviewed them primarily to learn new question types/formats/patterns that might be asked. I did not spend time taking every question that I came across. Websites: I referred the below sites. 1. Wikipedia - my first choice for detailed explanations 2. Deepfriedbrainproject.com - good article on probability questions and other topics. 3. BrightHub/Pmzilla/Pmhub.net/
Hi Ahmed :
What you have to do for the exam is :
1- Understand the whole knowledge , connected to your real world .
2- practice with two many questions , that will fill the gaps in your knowledge .
3- depend only on the PMBOK , as its the only source of the exam .
GOOD LUCK ISA
First of all, thank you for your invitation and for considering me as an expert.
additional for the all freinds answers , take in your consediration taht you are a project manager with untidy ideas and the PMI certificate will make your managment ideas deffernt.
you should be answer the PMI exam questions according the PMP book perspective and regardless of your opinion.
Thank you for the invitation.
Well, earning a PMP certificate is a major achievement in your career, he are some main points to consider when applying for the PMP exam.
1- Attend an instructor led course, you should choose a PMI R.E.P with an experienced and knowledgeable instructor.
2- During and after the class, you should do your own review. I recommend for the review to read first the PMBOK5th edition, then read PMP Exam Preparation by Rita Mulcahy (8th edition updated) or you can read other books like Edwel PMP book http://www.edwel.com/book-request.aspx. I advise you to read one chapter from PMBOK, then reread the same chapter from other reference, then solve the practice exams available for each chapter.
3- After you finish reviewing all the chapters, you should start solving sample exams or practice tests, you can use Oliver Lehman sample tests, or you can use other books like this one //www.crcpress.com/PMP-Exam-Practice-Test-and-Study-Guide-Ninth-Edition/Ward-Levin/3
4- You should ensure you get% on the practice tests to be ready for taking the PMP Exam.
I would agree with the answers... Variety of helpful info and opinions .... !
Thank you
What I did was to get at least two more books regarding PMI base of knowledge, besides the PMBOK (for example the Rita Mulcahy's PMP exam prep), the Mr. Kerzner PM book, and a couple of exam simulations I got with a PMP colleague (looking for already certified friends works!). I stablished an end line of8 months to study all the topics, minimum2hr/day every day.
I began from the PM Framework and then the PM Processes and the Integration Management, jumping between the rest of the chapters (the knowledge areas) according to the link between topics (advancing no more than3 levels of connection and get back). When I wanted deepen, I used the Mr. Kerzner book (i.e. Risk Management) and other bibliography.
After "chop" each area, I took the examinations using timekeeper (you know, to solve questions in4 hours you need sec per question). And once I finished all the topics, I took2 weeks to answer the simulations over and over, to speed up my skills with the exam methodology.
The day of the exam, I made a "brain down" in a paper (putting formulas and other info for instant consultation). I read the last part of each question (where usually is the real question and the rest is prologue) and I read each optional answer from d to a (statistically most of the true answer are c or d). Finally, for long questions I used the translator to not waste my time making mental translations and passed to the next question when I had doubt about the answer.
It's possible that you suffer at least one crisis, due to the fatigue. Just take a minute, relax and keep going.
One final tip: Rest at least hours prior to the exam, to assimilate all the new knowledge and disperse your mind for a while. Good luck and best regards! JL
