PMP Credential Process
PMI credentials establish your dedication to and proficiency in the profession. When
you earn a PMI credential, you gain distinction and recognition in a growing
community of project management practitioners. To attain a credential, you must
satisfy educational and professional experience requirements, demonstrate your ability
to apply your project management knowledge to situational and scenario-based
questions in the examination, and, in the case of the PgMP, successfully complete two
additional evaluations.

About the Exam
• Computer Based occurs at an examination center
• 4 hours to write the exam
• Multiple Choice format
• Provides option to mark answers for later review – tip: take advantage of this
• 200 Questions
     •   175 / 200 questions are actually marked – 25 are dummy questions
     •   You will not know which 25 are not marked – therefore answer all carefully
• 61% Pass Rate
     •   108/175 correct to pass at 61%
     •   122/200 correct to pass 61%
• You will be notified if you pass or fail immediately after completing the exam
• You will not be given your actual mark
• 3 attempts per year – but this is a mute point – you will pass this !!
Exam Tips (Steve Michalicka)
1. Commitment
•   Accept it’s value, it’s a minimum we should strive for, it’s what we do
•   Commit to starting and completing, set a timeline and stick to it
2. PM Framework – Process Groups, Knowledge Area’s and Processes,
•   DON’T memorize – logically understand the 5 process groups <-> 9 knowledge area’s <-
    > 44 processes and how they interrelate to one another including ITTO’s
3. The PMBOK IS Important but NOT enough
•   60-70% of exam is directly based on the PMBOK
•   Seek additional resources - PMP Exam Prep, online HP-GMAS courses and material,
    other books – Rita Mulcahy PMP Exam Prep, talk to your peers
•   Understand ethics, PM Professional Responsibility (not in PMBOK)
•   Have confidence - we already do this - GMAS, CMMI
4. Know Your Formula’s and Network Diagram Calculations - period
•   This is a no-brainer - can be 15-20 questions – easy marks
Exam Tips (Manish Kansara)
For PMP Certification I did not refer too many study materials; my study was limited to few sources.
    I referred following courses / books.

•   PMBOK - This is the core for PMP Certification. When you register for PMI Membership, PMI
    Institute will send you PMBOK as CD
•   Course ID 33284 (Project Management: All about PMI Certification and the PMP Exam) - 
    grow@hp
•   Course ID 37596 (Project Management: PMP Exam Prep - eLearning) - grow@hp
•   Course ID 30077 (CompTIA Project+ Expert Now) - grow@hp

http://intranet.hp.com/TSG/WW2/professions/Project_Management/Pages/PMI_Cert.aspx

Course 33284 and 37596 can earn you necessary Contact Hours that are required to appear for
   certification. 33284 will register you to ESI Institute, that will provide you online course and will
   allow you to take up to 10 practice exams. Intranet Site referred above gives some study tips,
   reference documents and PMP Exam Experiences of successful candidate. These are nice study
   notes but you need to be careful that some material may be outdated (based on old version of
   PMBOK).
Exam Tips (Monique Howard)
I prepared for the exam by:

•Reading PMBOK
•Reading Rita’s Book
•Using PMtrak (study tool provided by HP)
•Purchasing practice exam from pmstudy.com

I found that Rita’s book helped to unclear areas for me. I used the PMtrak tool to help me
retain the information. The practice exams from pmstudy.com were excellent. I did glance
at other free test sites. But, the questions at pmstudy.com came closest to what I
experienced on the exam.
