This was my weekend of PMP study – yesterday I went through the sample exam questions in the binder from the prep course I took almost 2 months ago. I feel good about the questions I could answer with confidence, while other choices were guesses — highlighting my knowledge gaps and/or my inability to correctly choose between what seemed to me to be tricky options. Questions can test knowledge from each of PMBOK knowledge areas (and some other sources):
- Project Management Framework
- Project Integration Management
- Project Scope Management
- Project Time Management
- Project Cost Management
- Project Quality Management
- Project Human Resources Management
- Project Communications Management
- Project Risk Management
- Project Procurement Management
Today I’ve singled out chapters to read for a second time in Rita Mulcahy’s PMP exam prep book, pages with vital information with which to become familiar and a few more formulas I haven’t committed to memory yet. Not all the information you need for the exam is contained in PMI’s PMBOK, although that is the by far the most important source of information. Rita’s book and the Key Consulting course materials do a good job highlighting the non-PMBOK information that you need to know.
With that, let me get back to studying, the weekend isn’t over yet……
