PMP Exam Lessons Learned

Study materials used and lessons learned towards becoming a PMP shared to us by PM PrepCast student Jon Arbin, PMP.

" I passed my PMP test on July 2nd with 2 Proficient and 3 Moderately Proficient. I studied for about 2.5 months and I used the PM PrepCast and the PM StudyCoach as my two main on-line tools. I had the PMBOK guide and Head First PMP for reading materials. I personally found the PM PrepCast to be an outstanding product and I loved the way Cornelius presented the topics. When I studied, I would read one chapter per week from the PMBOK guide and then watch the PM PrepCast videos. After watching the PM PrepCast videos, I would read the same chapters from my Head First PMP book. I found this method of studying for me was best and helped enforce what I had learned.

As a result of purchasing the PM PrepCast, I was offered an outstanding deal on the PM StudyCoach which I also purchased. I purchased this a few weeks into my studies and found the PM StudyCoach was another valuable tool for studying. The PM StudyCoach provided a high-level overview and Cornelius focused on essential-essentials and highlighted additional resources to enhance my studies. I found this valuable training material..."

PMP Exam Coaching Student Success Story:
Erik M. Jacob, PMP

"I heard an interview on the PM Podcast, with Dan Ryan and I signed up right away.
For me the most difficult part was just understanding the PMI’s framework. How does all this tie together? My exam coach assisted me greatly in understanding this. Helping me know what I needed to know for the exam verses reading PMBOK v5 was also a huge win for me.

My coach Dan, was exceptional. He pushed me to move fast. He showed me how to learn and understand the concepts rather than memorizing all the many moving parts. He also explained why this was important as well. I feel that for me the coaching was just that, coaching. This kept me on the right path to PMP success!

To those studying for the PMP exam I would recommend two things:

1. Have a coach to objectively evaluate your readiness to take the exam.

2. Take practice exams and then more practice exams followed by even more."

Student Profile: Meena Kumar, PMP

"...During the course of my studies, I spoke to several others looking to take the PMP exam. My first recommendation was always that they purchase the PM PrepCast through OSP International, LLC., which also comes with the PM Exam Simulator (a 90-day subscription). Not only are the podcasts with Cornelius Fichtner amazingly helpful and engaging, but the price for the entire purchase is so economical! long with the podcasts, I also purchased the PMBOK Guide, Fifth Edition. I also purchased Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep Book, Eighth Edition. In my opinion, these are helpful as a foundation for one’s PMP studies..."
