I thought of sharing some lessons learned during the PMP exam preparation. As you know, PMI puts lot of emphasis on lessons learned and historical information for the success of any project. Since the entire process of getting PMP credential certification is also a project, all the lessons learned by the current PMP holders would be extremely useful for new PMP aspirants.

So, I framed a set of questions as a survey with an idea to collect lessons learned from PMPs I know. Here is the first such survey answered promptly by Mr. Dayanidhi Dhandapany. Daya, whom I know personally too, attended one of my PMP training programmes and cleared the exam in a short period of time.

Below, you can find his views and opinions on his successful journey that fetched him the coveted PMP Credential.

I already have working experience in project control field, so I have to tune myself to PMI way of project management in approaching the exams for which practicing of 1000 questions and attempting to take exams for more than 6 hours per day continuously gave me the comfort of sitting for the real exam under 2.5 hours to complete the 4 hours exam duration.

In simple terms the more the practice less the pain you will take in the real exam because your mind is tuned automatically to cope up with time. Of course one has to understand the concepts, processes etc in PMI Way only.

Try to take as much Mock up exams to achieve the speed to complete the exam in 2.5 hours and your scoring in the mock should be 93% then you can go for real exam.
