PMHUB-G Re: Now or Never - PM EXAM changes - what to do?

I forgot to mention that, if the original writer is planning on a NOV or DEC 2013 Exam date than they should wait for PMBOK 5th Edition study materials to surface before beginning a dedicated study period. In my opinion, there are too many changes in the 5th Edition to allow the constructive use of 4th Edition study materials.

I expect the 5th Edition study materials to appear in APR or MAY 2013. Folks can tell me if they know of earlier dates for 5th Edition study material.

1. If I do study with:
- PMBOK 4th edition
- XXXX based on PMBOK 4th edition
Can I still cope up with the 5th edition of PMBOK, as I might look to take the test in Nov?Dec 2012?

PMHUB-G Re: Now or Never - PM EXAM changes - what to do?

Hi JPAS1954,

I agree that the whole PMP study process can certainly complete in the timeframe that you cite. It all depends on resources. If you have the time, money (for the prep classes), work/life/study balance, and motivation, a successful PMP exam pass can be achieved.

I also know people that have taken over a year to complete the process.

Good luck with your classes.

Regards,

I disagree with the assertion that most people require 3 to 6 months to prepare for and pass the PMP exam. I took my PMP exam in June of 2001. Time spent studying after my class? Six weeks. I've been teaching PMP since 2002. I've been recommending the same 4-6 week timeframe ever since. And recently, I started teaching for a company that guarantees the course if students take the exam within 30 days. Even though I prefer 4-6 weeks, students seem to be passing at a high enough rate that this seems to work just fine.

Hi,

Don't even touch the 3rd Edition of the PMBOK!!!!

Most people require 3 to 6 months to prepare for and pass the PMP Exam. If you have the free time and can cope with studying and testing BEFORE 31 JUL 2013, then start, right away, with PMBOK 4th Edition material. The PMP Exam base changes to the PMBOK 5th edition on 31 JUL 2013. You should attempt your first exam about a month before 31 JUL 13. That way, if you don't pass the first time, you have a few weeks to study and try again (but the test centers will be VERY busy) before 31 JUL. On and after 31 JUL 2013, the PMP exam base is in the 5th edition and (if you fail a 4th edition exam) you cannot retest using a 4th edition exam. So you MUST complete everything before 31 JUL 2013.

If your work/life/study balance cannot allow you to meet the 31 JUL 2013 cut-over date for the PMP exam, then take a breath and wait for a few months. Go read the 5th edition and become familiar with its content. I'm writing this on 18 FEB 2013. There is no 5th edition material available yet. The changes from the 4th edition are extensive!!! DO NOT start with the 4th edition and switch over to the 5th edition when the study material becomes available (probably APR 2013 or so). You will become very confused.

So, figure out your timing first. If you can cope with doing everything before 31 JUL 2013, then great; go for it! Otherwise, take your time and prepare to test after 31 JUL 2013.

Hope this helps,
