How to Pass PMP in First Try (Part 1)

On  January,2014, I have completed PMP exam. I would like to say thank you to each and every one who helped me in getting this certificate.

Now I thought to write blog on how to Pass PMP in First try…

     1)      What is PMP ?

PMP stands for Project Management Professional (PMP) is a credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

     2)      What you need before you apply for PMP ?

·        

       Bachelor Degree  + 4500 Hours of non over lapping Project Management Experience.  

·         35 PDU (professional development units (PDUs)) from registered REP.

    3)      How much time it will take ?

Depend upon your study time and experience , it took me 4 month. In this four month I read 2 hours during week days (Total 10 Hours) and 6 hours (total 12 hours ) during week end.

    4)      What is expenditure ?

·         PMI Fee : 129 $ + 10 $ (Application Fee) = 139 $

·         Training Fee : 100 $ - 300 $ depend upon from which REP you are taking training

·         Exam Fee : 405 $

·         Total Fee : 634 $ - 834 $

5) Is it mandatory to take Membership of PMI ?

No. It's not but I strongly suggest to take membership before you start.

reason is 

       1) If you are not member you need to pay 555 $ exam fee so it will be less if you become member and pay less fee, because you will get Member ship and exam fee in  545 $ but if you are not member you have to pay 555 $

     2)  you will get free copy of PMBOK 5 which is must need book.

     3)  you will get chance to be part of such a nice group.

   5)      First Step...

First step is you need to read PMBOK 5, once you get PMI membership you will get free copy of PMBOK which is specially licensed for only one , So I can not share this book with any one.

But once you get PMI membership you will get it free…

In My next article I will try to explain which other material you need to read and also which are the important and hard topic that you need to focus.
