What else to prepare when the PMP exam is in one month?
TIANZE YAOManager - Analytics| Royal Bank of CanadaToronto, Ontario, Canada
Hi all,
I am actively preparing PMP exam for three months, have read through PMBOK once, Rita's book twice, and finish Joseph Phillips's course once. I will take the exam at the end of September. Could anyone please provide some insights or suggestions about what else to prepare in this last month before exam (I know there are a lot that I could possibly do, doing mocks currently available in the market, read through PMBOK guide again etc). Just wondering what/how you did in your last month before exam, any suggestions are appreciated!
Tianze, you have done well in preparation. How much are you scoring in your mocks, ensure you obtain pass scores in mocks as prescribed by the mock providers. Read through the wrong answers and learn why we selected wrong answer.
For reference, instead of reading the complete book again, please go through page numbers from 541 to 635 in PMBOK 6th edition.
Be confident, your studies are done and practice well in mocks.
Good luck and best wishes.

Thank you! are you referring to "The standard of Project management"?
Tianze,
I would suggest to keep doing mocks, if not the 200 question set than sets of 50 questions. Some good sources would be Scordo pdf-1000 questions, PM Prepcast-free simulator, Oliver - 100 questions online, and 200 questions pdf.
I did these (I had Prepcast paid simulator) in the month before the exam and also attempted full length exams every weekend.
I had prepared extensive notes so I didn't really open Rita's book during this 1 month, but I did refer PMBOK as and when required.
Also, I used to meditate every evening to bring some calmness, but that is a personal choice since I get really nervous in such exams.
All the best!!

Yes its Project Management Body Of Knowledge as published by PMI
You have to prepare also with exam simulators, to familiarize yourself with similar questions of PMP exam, and learn to manage time expended on each question. Saving Changes...
