The making of "Sricharan Narayanam,PMP"
So, here goes the storyline of my journey of attaining the "PMP"
Well it started way back an year ago when i attended the basic 35hour training course of PMP. After a long haitus, i booked my PMP exam date in the month of Feb. Honestly, i felt the application procedure of filling up the experience form etc was more difficult than prepeairng for the PMP exam
...though many wont believe it... actually i love this field of Project management, so love to gain more knowledge...
Exam Prep:
Anywayz, i started off to read the Rita, someone some of friends told that they could get pass the PMP exam even without reading the PMBOK. But thats a big risk!!!
After reading Rita twice, i had only 2 more weeks to go for the exam. Had taken leave from office for 2 weeks & studied day & night.... 14 days before the exam date, i scored 57%
in the mocks, increased to 65% till 8 days before the exam & in my final mock i scored around 77%.
As i hardly stuided PMBOK, during my last few days i bought http://www.pm-exam-simulator.com/ which had questions mostly based on PMBOK...felt this was very very useful...Apart from 9 mock test, they also have knowledge area wise questions which i felt was very useful...
My Best recommendations:
Blogs-Deepfriedbrainpmp,PMZilla & brainBOK.com -All free resoruces.
Books: Rita, PMBOK & Headfirst( Nice book to go through, you wont get bored reading this)
Finally, got certified as an PMP on 29th April! ![]()
Exam results- Proficient in 2 areas, Moderately proficient in 4 areas.
All the best.
Regard,
Sricharan Narayanam,PMP
