After sleepless nights and day dreaming in office for almost five months
, I finally achieved what started as an interest, bloomed into a passion and turned into obsession.I would like to thank Mr Saket Bansal for his videos. Even though I have never met him in person, I felt connected the way he explained things. He has a great vocabulary which I really enjoyed apart from all the theory.
Apart from Saket's vidoes, the only source of material that I read was Crowe's book. His book is the best out there.
I tried Rita's PMP Exam Prep, for me personally, I felt it was very lengthy and got boring after a while, her process chart is quiet different from PMBOK, which also confused me. Hence, stopped reading it after a couple of chapters.
I kept my preparation very simple.
1. Watched all videos of Izenbridge PMP course
2. Books: Only 1- Andy Crowe : THE PMP EXAM, HOW TO PASS ON YOUR FIRST TRY
3. Subscribed to SCRIBD (website) - Tons of documents, books to refer. The material on PMP is quiet good! If you want a lot of new books for free, this is the place to go
4. Oliver Lehmann's Self Assessment Test (100 Questions) - How can anyone miss it, right?? I took the test a day before the exam and scored 68% which gave me a lot of confidence (I was expecting about 55%, which is the world average
The questions in the exam were not as tough as the mock exams on various websites. Infact, I had a nervous breakdown after attempting the Izenbridge's Mock Test
Man these are tougher than Lehmann! (no kidding)I wish everybody preparing for the PMP, the best of luck
P.S - For those who are wondering about the questions on Agile, there were hardly any.
