Easy Guide to the PMP Certification Exam

by Miss Marian None

The PMP certification is designed and focused not only towards project managers, but also to everyone who is currently leading, working or directing a project(s) to its completion. Employers are now seeking this type of certification, which provides proof to the competency and educational attainment of project managers who have it.

To achieve the project management professional certification, the candidate must meet the standard educational and experience requirements, adhere to the code of professional conduct, as well as demonstrate knowledge and an acceptable level of understanding in project management.

The PMP Certification exam will test this knowledge and understanding.

Tips on passing the PMP exam

The computer-based exam examination is now offered at various locations in the US, Canada, and other countries in the world. The test is based on the whole project management body of knowledge, or just simply known as PMBOK, which also provide an outline of topics you need to cover.

The exam will usually take for four hours and consist of 200 questions with multiple choices. The examinee must get at least 137 of the questions correctly (68.5%) to achieve the required passing grade.

You have to keep in mind that the examination will cover the five major groups of professional responsibility and project management processes such as:

·         Initiating

·         Planning

·         Executing

·         Controlling

·         Closing

·         Professional Responsibility

Also remember that the PMP certification exam questions are group by each project management process. Passing it will take a real sufficient preparation. This includes reviewing the PMBOK to acquire a thorough understanding of the project management concepts and terminology.

Another best tip is to take a lot of practice tests on your own, as well as attending project management training. Memorizing all the formulas can really help you, most especially those formulas in the Earned Value and PERT.

More and more major companies not only in the United States, but also other countries, are now recognizing the importance of hiring someone with a PMP certification. This has become a huge differentiator when seeking for a job that you really want.
