New to PMP - Need guide

Submitted by sunilkum on Sat, 03/24/2012 - 17:54

I am new to this site, so far I am read Rita and PMBoK and have about 2 months of time to give PMP. From next week I am start looking for freely available good Mock Test that I can give online.

I have read from various forum these that are available:
PMStudy – They give one free test for 200 questions
TEchFaq360 – I guess they have 200 but quality is not good
PMPForSure – I see 50 questions there, and I guess of good quality too
ExamCentral – I guess they have 100 for free
PMZilla Free questions – But this is not online

I am looking for quality questions only as I had heard from my seniors that there having more misguiding questions across. Can you guide me?

Hi Sunil – Everyone has different success story to share for PMP in short there is no fix rules you can follow. As a PMP, I would say, do these:


 



  • Read Rita (6th) and PMBok 2 times

  • Practice all questions that you see at the back of Rita’s book chapter and concentrate more on its explanation.

  • Understand the Free Headfirst Free PMP questions and answers.

  • Try the Free PMP mock test from PMStudy

  • Buy either 3 more test from PMStudy or PMPForsure as these have high quality questions.

  • Make sure you practice about 1000 questions online.

  • Make sure you practice mock test for about 30-40 days and get confidence before you actually give PMP.

 


Don’t over study and keep taking new advice daily, decide a plan and stick to it. By many suggestions you will get confuse, you will waste your time and money too that would result in misguidance.


 


You should give like 4 months of time in total for these activities. All the best!

I will try their free Test first and check this forum for more information as cost also will play a role while I choose the best one that suits me,

@treasury92 – Please see this forum from various tips from various users you would be able to decide a good fix plans.


I would not recommend that you start from PMBOK, rather choose a good book that talks more on the real management example and practices, I know Rita is one among them, others I am not sure as I have not read. However make sure you read PMBOK 2-3 as that’s the only source you can trust from PMI perspective. I have already posted my recommendations above, check if that suits you.


This forum is very happening, keep checking the latest best available options and see what other people in the forum recommend as the best too.
