Exam Tips:

Two important tips that we would like to suggest:

1. Sleep well the night before the exam. Try to get 7-8 hours of good sleep. Sounds simple but not always observed by candidates.
2. After you enter the examination room, spend the first few minutes (5-10 mins) writing down key notes and formulas on a rough sheet of paper, before you actually start the exam. These notes can include Earned Value Management (EVM) and other such formulas, list of processes and their inputs, outputs, and tools and techniques. Later in the exam, these notes can act as a great quick reference guide!

How much time does it take to prepare for the PMP® certification Exam?

The amount of time it will take you to prepare for the PMP® Certification Exam depends on how much experience you have as a Project Manager, your familiarity with PMI®'s terminology, and which books you use to prepare. Sitting for any exam is stressful, time consuming, as well as costly, therefore, give yourself enough time to study so that you feel comfortable. We suggest that you should plan to spend a minimum of 4-8 weeks, preparing for a couple of hours every day, before taking the exam.
