Study Time - 7 days

Study Material - PMStudy Chapter test (around 600 questions) + PMStudy Workbook (around 160 pages) + PM Formulas (106 questions for mathematical problems)

Mock Test attempted - NIL (I didn't even have time to attempt any :)

Get PMP in short time is about luck.

And i think it is not good practice.

@ PMP Fighter,

When you will have more experience under your belt, you will realize that 'really amazing things' come to those who are born with tremendous amount of luck...

Really amazing things = becoming a movie star, owning a successful business, becoming a CXO of a Fortune 500 company, passing PMP in 7 days etc etc....

Some of my classmates in bachelor degree program had photographic memory. I had to study a chapter three times to undertand it. They will just skim through it and be done with that. I always had lower grades than my classmates with photographic memory. 

What i am trying say is that when you (read it as Phil Stinnet) are not born with outstanding photographic memory or tremendous amount of luck, you have to work hard to live an average life.

We, the average people, have decided that studying for 250-300 hours for PMP is the best practice. But, that is the standard for average people.

Brilliant people or people with photographic memory or people with tremendous amount of luck do not need to follow the standard made-by and made-for average people.

So, Kudos to this nice individual on his success !!!

Congratulations for successfully clearing the exam.

Personally this is my understanding - "It doesn't really matter how much time you spend in preparing for the exam...the question is whether you have passed or not"
