PMHUB-G Short and Sweet PMP Exam LL

The book covers a lot of useful materials for the exam but is a bit disorganized without too much ITTO concept. I found it was a bit hard to follow. And then, I started to read PMBOK and Andy's book. It was a lot easier to understand. Therefore I'd suggest to read in this sequence # 3, 1,2. It will help understand the entire PM framework. By reading/rereading through the materials and doing the practice exams, you will memorize it naturally.

PMHUB-G Passed PMP Exam in Dubai

During this time and interaction, did a lot of internet research and browsed websites. By the time classes finished I had plenty of information.They had mentioned at the classes that no one could pass the PMP without actually practising the mock tests and I fully agree with this. Based on this I found out a lot of websites (the ones that are usually mentioned in all these group posts and links),hence am not repeating them again.BUT what I didnt see on these groups is the mention of some cheap and good Apple Iphone applications available which I am going to inform for all you Iphone/Ipad/Itouch (or is it Ipod?) users available for $1 to max $8.

PMHUB-G Great tips and LINKS from another excellent LL

Some Quick tips :
• Focus on the chapter 1 & 2 in the PMBOK guide, the various terms and diagrams too.
• Know how to interpret the EVM values, i.e what each value indicates about the project status. Also be familiar when to use the different EAC formulas.

PMHUB-G PMP Exam Tip: Read and Understand Your Books

The PMP Exam is mainly based on A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). The most current version was published in 2008 and most people find a bit difficult to read. But due to the fact that the exam is based on this book, it is important that you actually read and understand all that it contains. As a supplement to studying the PMBOK Guide in preparing for the exam you need to get additional reference material.
