Can anyone HELP, that how i can prepare myself for PMP exams, as i have planned to give in July 2018..... But I do not know from where and How i will start?? and How much time i will give to my studi

The are many good study groups on linkedin and facebook. This is the best thing to do.

Hi, before you begin preparation, you need to get hold of good study material. I recommend Rita Mulcahy's exam prep for thorough study. Also, try the exercises once you complete a topic/knowledge area to gauge yourself. You definitely need to go through the questions in Head first PMP and most importantly their explanations of the answers. It will clear your mind of any different perspective that you might hold regarding the most suitable answer. There are really a few things to just cram even though you could use some logic to remember them especially the Inputs, outputs and Tools techniques of each knowledge area. All the best!

Rita's book came highly recommended. I will give you some background on mine. I took the required boot camp in early November. I had a hard dead line of December 31st as I had to leave for a project on January 2nd. I took the class. The next thing I started doing was take the practice exams 1 to 2 every day for the next basically 2 months. I read over my notes and the quick reference guides.

The biggest help was the practice exams. They let you know why you got the question wrong and you can reference the pmbok guide to help. The practice exams get you prepared for how the questions will look on the test.

Next study the formula's do not leave them out. Some of the questions will be based on them. When you can consistantly score 80 or higher you should be good for the exam. That is not to say you will pass but you should have a reasonable shot at it. Please note most people fail it their first time. The test is hard and taxing.

I do not know if you have already got PM 35 hours contact certificate. If not Get PMI membership and join you local PMI chapter. Get your 35 hours contact certificate by completing 4 days classroom training.

Once everything is done, develop a study plan 2 to 3 months (depends on your hours study daily).

Take 3 Mock tests atleast and if you score more than 70 %(you feel confident)

Now take the real PMP exam and pass it.

All the best for your PMP exam.

Read the PMBOK and summarize it. Use this summary in the future if you want to refresh yourself. Join your local PMI Chapter and be a member of the study group - the storyline method is very useful to test yourself how much you understand about the ITTO and how each process interact with other processes.

Take minimum 2 mockup tests - one after reading your PMBOK. That will be your baseline. Take another one, after you have spent some time studying with the study group or if you have practiced your storylines.

Good luck.

The PMP exam recommendation tips are:
1. You should have university or college certificate, work experience not least than 5 years and 35 hours for PMP course;
2. Read PMP handbook and PMP exam outline very very well , because, the PMP exam will depend on the tasks as mentioned in PMP exam outline;
3. Read PMBOK last version from cover to cover at least two or three times to understand the PMI definitions and ITTO's as well, because, PMP exam ref. is absolutely from PMBOK;
4. Read Rita book, understand and practice the questions in each chapter. Rita book is for understanding the some topics like change request procedures, time network analysis, EVM, conflict resolutions, plan risk management response...etc;
5. Concern the topics, which are scope management, change management, communication management, stakeholder management & Risk management. The exam will ask you many questions related to these topics, and
6. You must practice a lot of questions to understand these topics and to understand how the PMP exam frame what does he ask. The best websites for PMP practicing are : PMSTUDY, PM PRECAT and some applications in Udemy; Good luck to every body!

I would say that reading the PMBOK once and reading Rita Mulcahy's book thrice & do the exam after each chapter. then three mock test should be good. once you see your performance there you will know where you stand. All the best.
