Hi, I am just starting my PMP studies and I am wondering when is the best time to join PMI. Aside from the network and resources, I understand the being a PMI member entitles me discounts on exam fees, among others. I also understand that the membership has an expiration date.

Since I am not paying for the exam in the next two months, do you think I should defer signing up for PMI membership until I have my PDUs and ready to pay for the exam? Thanks.
