PMHUB-G Most Read article - why?

I simply don't know why but you be the judge:

"The PERT formula is mentioned in the 4th edition PMBOK® as a tool and
technique of two processes—Estimate Activity Durations and Estimate
Costs. The formula provides a weighted estimate—and the formula
doesn't care if the numbers you use represent time or money—so that's
why it's in both the PMBOK's Time and Cost knowledge areas."

PMHUB-G Again: more advice on PMP Exam from Steve Watson, PMP

1. Read the PMBOK Guide, 4th Ed. from front to back. Some say 2x. I
only read thoroughly once, but did skim important sections additional
times.
2. Take plenty of practice tests. The more the better. If provided,
be sure to examine reasons behind each correct answer. Also, its best
to take a 4 hour simulated exam to prepare for the length of the real
one. Good test sims provide these.

PMHUB-G PMP Exam Lessons Learned - Steve's advice and more advice from successful PMPs

1. Don't dwell on any question too long. Take advantage of the "Mark
for Review" feature and skip to the next question if one poses too
much trouble. Most students finish the test in 2.5 hours and use the
rest of the time for this review.

PMHUB-G Each person has their own style....

Each person has their own style of learning and taking the exam. I was
lucky that not doing the mock tests did not hurt me, but that's just
me. If I had to do it all over again (which I wouldn't), I would
probably do at least 3-4 mock tests. But I would most certainly read
the PMBOK. No point in memorizing the ITTOs but it would be great if
you are in a position to tell a TT from an input and output ! Reading
the PMBOK over and over means that you are able to appreciate the
subtleties of such things as the difference between Qualitative and
Quantitative Risk Analysis and the fact that decision tree analysis
can also be used for selecting which projects to bid for given the
right circumstances.Of course, PM experience in real life helps too.

PMHUB-G

In general, most of the exam questions will have at least 2 answers
that seem to be "correct". Eliminate those that are definitely wrong
and concentrate on determining which of the remaining ones are
correct. Turn the question around, "Jeopardy-style" or try to look at
it in another light. Sometimes this helps the correct response jump
out.

Well, those are the big lessons and tips I followed going into the
test. I hope they help you with your exam. At the same time, don't
let these be the only ones you follow. There are many good resources
which provide free tips. If you know some additional ones, please
feel free to add them in your comments below.

PMHUB-G Communications and PM....

Communications issues are often the make or break issues on a project. Most project managers will admit that communication issues have more impact on project success than any other factor. And yet, the possibilities for communications issues are infinite, as there are some many combinations of factors that influence and shape communications.

This is something to keep in mind if you are an aspiring PMP or CAPM.... MORE here:

PMHUB-G PDU tip 1: Max PDU you can earn in a Cat (pun intended)

There are six categories of PDUs that are divided into two division "Educational" and "Giving Back to the Profession." In some categories you can even earn free PDUs. The categories provide a wide range of opportunities to obtain PDUs. Under the "Educational" division there are such activities as completing courses either offered by PMIs Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s) or other colleges or universities; attending PMI sponsored events such as seminars, conferences, chapter or communities of practice meetings, or attending other credential related training events; taking and passing a PMI Publication Quiz; and completing self-directed type of learning activities such as reading books or instructional materials, using interactive CDs, or being mentored.
