Being someone who is currently studying to sit for the PMP Exam soon, I would like to share my humble experience, from my personal point of view, in terms of what was the best way I found effective to study for the exam:
- What: Read the PMBOK 5th Edition in details - Why: It will reinforce your knowledge about the standard.
- What: Answer the PMChallenge "1000 Questions" - Why: It will help you memorize and reinforce your understanding of the Standard. (It does not give you the real feel of the exam).
- What: Study PMP Exam Prep Books (Example: Rita Malcahy 8th Edition Updated) Why: It will help you understand the standard even better and relate to it with practical examples.
- What: Solve Simulation Exams(Not the Free Ones) - Why: It will give you a feel of the exam atmosphere, tricks and gives you a level of confidence whether you are Good to Go or not.
- What: Experience - Why: If you are an experienced professional then you probably have done all of this on different levels.
Many could add more to the above mentioned or have different points of view - I just thought of sharing what I've learned through my colleagues here in this community(Special Thanks to Markus Klein & Stephane Parent) and from preparing for the exam myself as I thought it might help guide others through their PMP Exam preparation.
I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year 2016 !
Always Remember: Study for your own Knowledge, not only because you are going to sit for an Exam !
