Do you want to take the PMP® exam easily and confident? Then you have to practice a lot of tests. Practicing tests is good to keep on learning (you learn much by knowing why the good answer is the good one and the others are wrong) but also to get the mark of one minute per question (in the PMP® exam you have to answer 200 questions in 4 hours). There are no shortcuts here: to pass the PMP® exam, once you have the fundamentals and every concept is clear, then you have to get into the habit of practicing a lot of tests, the more the better. This is a matter of practice. You have to practice, practice and practice again. Practice until you get exhausted! There are lots of tests available: complete exams or part of them, free and for payment, interactive or in books, etc. Before the day of the exam, you have to plan a constant effort to do tests, more intense as the exam is coming closer. Common advice is more than 2 hours a day practicing tests during the 2 weeks before the exam.
Only after felling confident by practicing tests, this is the moment to schedule the date of the exam. If you are not a native English speaker, you can request the translation aid to read quickly the long text introducing the question, in order to separate the relevant information and recognize which of the 47 processes is the one you need to focus on.
The biggest challenge for the PMP® candidate is the limited time. You have 4 hours to answer 200 questions and
you always need more time. People failing the exam always complain about the insufficient time. When they have only one our left, they realize they have more than 60 questions to answer, for instance, and they get into panic. To get the average pace of one minute per question you have to do the homework: learn the fundamentals, practice many tests, sleep well the previous day, etc. All this done, however, does not guarantee passing the exam.
In order to have a good performance during the computer based testing, my advice is to follow a certain strategy. I will appreciate any of your comments with your thoughts on this. Thank you very much for continue reading.
