Study the PMBOK!	larrydaman on Monday, March 24, 2008

I passed the PMP without any problems but I took a prep class, read the PMBOK and used RMC's prep book. Much of the language that PMI uses is different from what you may use on the job, so much study is required.

Passed the PMP!	costrike on Friday, October 13, 2006

The difficulty in this test comes from the breadth of information in it. Most of the individual questions are not overly challenging. Know the PMBPOK. Take a prep class. Take all the practice exams you can and brush up on your weaknesses. Good luck!

Challenging Exam	verizon on Saturday, March 18, 2006

This exam contains all kinds of "subjective" questions; puck the MOST likely; the LEAST effective etc. The PMBOK should be your companion to nail the concepts.

PMP is hard!	jpoggio on Monday, April 05, 2004

This ia a hard exam, so prepare yourself well!

You must know the concepts	slord0001 on Thursday, April 01, 2004

The PMP is a hard exam and you will not pass unless you 1. Know basic PM concepts 2. Prepare by understanding the PMI concepts of PM I studied for 2 months with special study tools and passed on the first try. If you approach this exam with a attitude that this is a cake walk, you will be attempting it more than once.

You better know your stuff! This is a hard exam. I passed on 1st try but after preparing for 2 months
