Finally this day has come to my life to write my LL on Passing PMP 

Yesterday I passed PMP with  4MP and 1P score.

1. Initiation - MP

2. Planning - MP

3. Execution - P

4. Monotoring and Control - MP

5. Closing - MP

I would like to thank all you guys because you were my inspiration during study time.

Special thanks to Yogesh Sachdeva ( pmpmentor) for guiding me not to reschedule my exam.

I started preparing for PMP in the last week of Feb , prior to this week I gathered all information for this exam with study material required on PMZilla.

I read PMBOK and RITA - You should study both the books because there are some points which are covered in RITA are not in PMBOK and vice-a-versa.

Best ways to clear your knowledge gaps are :

1. Appy these concepts in your real world PM practices if your company is not using PMI processes.

2. Solve as many questions as possible.

3. Create your own questions around a topic.

Practice Tests : 

This is one of the most confusing stand to take for PMP for most of aspirants to which Practice tests to choose.

Please remenber these practice tests are to make your movementum and to fill your knowledge gaps

I wrote Free Exams like PMSTUDY , EXAM Central , PMPFORSURE , my scores on these exams were very average , infact I wrote one post two weeks before on PMZIILLA  http://pmzilla.com/should-i-go-pmp with a dialemma to reschedule my exam. But one thing for sure in PMP the language of the questions differes with your practice tests ; there you need to analyse the situation and for that you need to be clear on your concept. So Practice tests are these to set your level of preparation and fill you gaps. So please dont take it too lightly and too seriously also....Just go , have a confident in you and write a test ( Daar ke aage Jeet Hain Dosto )

Real PMP Exam :

My test centre was Mumbai Goregoan , I went there one day advance and took a hotel to relax. Because I would like to avoid the last movement pressure of travelling from Pune , Finding test centre and in such a warm and humid environment. Took a good sleep before exam night , have a good breakfast and then went on to test centre.

At the test centre you are allowed to take only your identity and exam confirmation receipt print. You will be provided with a locker where you need to keep all your valuables like phone , watch , wallet etc. 

You are allowed to take eatables but have to keep outside the examination room. There is small verification process and inspection before you are into the exam room.

Avoid taking breakes as there is checking process when you come back from the break and it cost you time on the exam ; however relax on the chair itself.

I found questions on below topics on the exam.

1. Risk Responce Stratergies - 5 Nos.

2. Quality assurance / controls- 4 Nos.

3. Charter / Framework - 3 Nos.

4. Critical path / PDM / CCM - 8 Nos.

5. Tuckman's  Ladder - 4 Nos.

6. Input / Out Put - 3 Nos.

and so on...............

At the last again thank you so much Much PM Zilla.

Hope this certification will take my career to other level.

At the moment Happy Happy Happy ................very Happy !!!

Thanks Ganesha ......!!

Cheers Guys and all the best to you too .............!!

Pravin , PMP.
