get to a discipline in taking the 4 hour exam. If you build on your mistakes, analyze why you are wrong, the final exam will be much easier. I also advise you to mark those answers which you guess, as next time you may guess wrong!”
Taking sample exams will help you establish where you need to concentrate your remaining study hours by flagging up the areas that you don’t fully understand.
4: Make the most of your study time
Find moments in your day where you can study. “If you have an iPhone download an app that will allow you to practice…”
Passing the PMP exam successfully requires a lot of study – more than perhaps you first thought. Seek out extra time in the day where you can revise concepts to boost your study hours.
5: Be confident
“Trust yourself. If you can score around 75-80% in an exam simulator, you can feel confident about passing the exam.” Building your confidence is a key strategy to successfully passing the exam.
6: Time yourself
Four hours may seem like a long time but in fact it goes quickly. “Plan on your exam time expanding during the real exam. I had been taking practice exams in about 2.5 hours. On the day of the exam, I had under 3 minutes left on my timer when I hit submit. I spent much more time analyzing questions than I had before.”
7: Listen to others
Yes, lessons learned are a great way to prepare! Talk to previous students, discuss
