Hi,

I am providing training since PMI-PBA introduced. Based on my experience with participants, I recommending following steps

Here are the steps of getting PMI-PBA certificate:

1. Earn 35 contact hours certificate. Which is just an eligibility, you need a goal based study plan to earn it at the earliest possible time.

2. Develop a Plan which suite to you. I advise study in three phase:

i) Know the Business Analysis domains: The goal of the first phase is to ‘Know’ the business analysis domains. Enroll in a course which gives you end to end support because learning through 12 reference books needs the expertise to select what is relevant for the exam and what is the logical order. You need to evaluate learning, if you are getting around 60% for the quizzes, you are good to go for this 'Know' phase
11) Master the content: The goal of this phase is mastering in each business analysis domains to get a grip for the exam.Your mastering phase approach would be very much related to the selected approach during ‘Knowing’ phase.At this stage, watching/reading chapter wise videos again with more focus is a good idea. Don’t leave anything for future, read again if something is not clear. For this phase, practicing domain wise questions is important. Thus, you have to identify the source of quizzes and practice tests.

For the evaluation of this phase, you need at least 80-85% in practice questions
111) Practice: The goal of this phase is to test and analyze your endurance for the exam
During this phase, do the mixture of questions instead of just domain-wise. At this stage, practicing full-length course simulation exam is the key.

After going through each full-length practice test, analyze weakness and don’t rush from one simulation exam to other.

After each simulation, you need to analyze which domain area is creating a problem for you? Try to fix them before moving to second simulation exam.



3. When you in mid of 'Master' phase, you can start filling the PMI-PBA application at PMI.ORG. Get it reviewed by an expert. After acceptance, book the exam date and get pass


Last but not the least, be active in forums. I am active in forum.izenbridge to clarify the doubts related to the PMI-PBA exam

In case, you need more details, you can write me at [email protected]

BTW: I also recommend to register in upcoming Business Analysis conference, it is FREE: https://www.projectmanagement.com/events/4...Conference-2017

Seema

Taking the exam should be a formality. (The work should have been done way before exam day.) However, do keep the following in mind:
* How much travelling do you need to the exam centre? Make sure you give yourself plenty of time.
* When do you work best? The exam will take half a day. Make sure you take it during the half in which you are at your best.

I would add two more steps: celebrate you accomplishment and share lessons learned.

All the best on your certification journey.
