[QUOTE="DKS2814V, post: 15448277, member: 27079"] PMP certified here. It expired on me this year though....been certified up to this point for 6yrs. I will say that the exams have changed since I took it, however....my thoughts: It was probably one of the tougher tests I've taken (Aerospace Engineer grad...while not too bad of a major, I imagine I took some tough tests in comparison to some majors). Most of my questions on the PMP exam had a very high level of ambiguity. Two-three paragraphs to "set the scenario", then 5 answers that were all very similar, but only one correct one. You had to be very attentive to minute (but important) details that trigger the sentence structure in the answers. If that makes sense? I think the test when I took it was every bit of 4hrs. Not sure what they are now. For test prep, I utilized a week long preparation course (which you need 35hrs of anyways to apply) in Dallas called Crosswind. Tony was the man when it came to teaching you what you need to know. Every morning we filled out a 1-page, front and back sheet of paper with all of the things to memorize. Formulas, definitions, process orders, etc. Then we re-did that page after lunch. Then re-did it again after the class was over, every day. We had to do it in under 5mins I think, as the exam allowed for a 5min "warm-up" period, if you will, that allowed you to jot down what you could so that you could jog your memory during the exam. I can't tell you how valuable this was for me. That being said, I felt that what made me successful (past it the first time) was taking practice exam, after practice exam, after practice exam...then when I was tired, I took another practice exam. I was working towards a 90+% on the practice exams, with consistency. I found this to be very helpful to see many of the same types of questions worded differently so I could wrap my head around it all. I'm not entirely sure what your career discipline is, however the PMP methodology is very tailored to the software/technology project management & implementation. I rarely used the PMP methodology in practice. [/QUOTE]
