I was reading the lesson learned section in the PMHub Forum and found a very good article by elceem on the tips and tricks in getting PMP. I have extracted the iformation below:
Tips & Tricks in getting your PMP
- treat this as a project: today is your start day and decide a target finish date
- become a member of PMI – its is cheaper this way (read FAQ)
- register on line and get your approval to write PMP exam within 3 days (read FAQ)
- call your exam center and get an exam day
- get hold of a PMP mock test and record down your score on each knowledge area (try PMHUB Question Bank in PMHUB Forums)
- record your weak “knowledge area”
- check the literatures to read for PMP (check FAQ) and its review in PMHUB
- Read the PMBOK last, study other materials first: JIMBOK & Eric's Lunch Time Lecture at PMHUB.net
- Use the PDF version of PMBOK and do your searches there 9b) use a SEARCH engine on the web, do not be lazy - get your own answer - no pain no gain
- important to know your own effective study style (do not just follow somebody’s advice to memorize ITTO)
- go through the exam exercises as much as you can, use the PMP/CPAPM Daily Tips
- study all the PMIism and for the exam's sake try to believe in them
- visit the exam center several days before the exam, get familiar with the area
- get a good rest 2-3 days before the exam
