The process of PMP exam prep varies from person to person. After deciding to apply for the PMP exam, everyone should arrange their time and learning plans according to their own situation, and proceed in an orderly way according to the plan. In the process of learning PMP, we should learn to sum up the experience and lessons, adjust the plan in time, and finally achieve the learning goal before the exam, so that we can get the ideal results in the exam.
The whole process of study and preparations can be divided into the following steps:
Go Through Teaching Videos to Form An Overall Impression
My class is a PMP certification online class, and its most important way of teaching is to learn through teaching videos. According to the content of PMBOK (PMP guidance materials), the teaching videos divide PMP into five process groups (start-up, planning, implementation, monitoring, and ending) and ten knowledge areas (project integration management, scope management, progress management, cost management, quality management, resource management, communication management, risk management, procurement management, and related party management). The core of PMP is formed by the intersection of the five process groups and the ten knowledge areas, in which you can find any related categories of PMP content. In the process of watching the videos, you need to gradually master and recite the five process groups and ten knowledge areas and have an overall understanding of each intersection.
Watch The Teaching Videos One Or Two More Times Carefully to Deepen Your Comprehension
The ten knowledge areas are the summary of PMP ideas. There are several sub-processes in each grid, and each sub-process involves input, tool, and output (ITTO). If each sub-process is unfolded, a complex knowledge network of PMP will be formed. In addition, human cognition is a gradually refined process. We can say that every time we watch a video, we have new gains. With the deepening of understanding of PMP ideas, some details in the video will be noticed. In addition, in the process of watching the video, it is necessary to comb your knowledge with the help of auxiliary books. For example, Dr. Wang’s PMP certification course is a high summary of PMBOK teaching materials.
Do Plenty of Practice
Although PMP does not pay much attention to doing plenty of practice, it is undeniable that it is the most direct and effective tool to understand PMP ideas. To figure the answer to a PMP question, we should first grasp the stem of the question, confirm which process group, which knowledge field and which sub-process are assessed, and then combine with the ITTO of the process. Then we can basically figure out the answer to the question. We also need to eliminate the influence of interference choices on the understanding process and do not be biased.
Last But Not Least
The questions of the PMP test are different from that of other exams. Other choices are not necessarily wrong, but not the most proper ones. So we need to figure out the most proper answer from certain right answers. Finally, after finishing the questions, we should check them once again and know the reason why you did it right or why you did it wrong. Then sort out your weak points, and carry out targeted reinforcement learning and practice.
Finally, I sincerely hope that all candidates who apply for the PMP test can get a good grade through hard work, and benefit from PMP thought in their future work and life, improve their level of work, and finally realize their life value.
