I have just got the PMP certificate last Dec, 2012. the test was conducted in Singapore, web-based. I promise, if you follow my experience, it would be extremely easy, and money saving. tatal cost is around USD 650+.
i guess the most challenging part for the test is not the test itself, rather the preparation for the test qualification to PMI (Project Management Institute, the PMP cert provider). you have submit all your past experience profile online and possibly get audited - that is the scary part. once I have passed the profiling, everything seems so easy. As our upbringing being a Chinese, we are pretty much well trained in exam-taking.
oh, before i forget. for the 35 hr training, you don't have to go the ABC training center for "certified professional" training. that is bullsh*t. read from the PMI requirements, it says you can do distant training as well. So what i did was to sign up for this (http://www.simplilearn.com/online-courses). choose the basic 74.99 USD would be good enough, just to fulfill the 35hr requirement. the online distant training does not offer anything at all for you to pass the test. other, it is the next tip i am about to share with you.
THE TIP: get this book, http://www.rmcproject.com/product/pmp-prep.aspx (just the book would be enough) even before you profiling your qualification to the PMI. the 1st few chapters will give you an idea of how to profile. once you have obtained the test qualification, read the book inside out twice. then, take the test, and you WILL pass.
I prepared for and cleared the qualification last Sep, which gives me one year to sit for the test. I read the book for 2 twice (1st time very carefully, 2nd time just the difficult part) in the Dec for 3 weeks. Then I sat for the test on 19th Dec, and passed the web-based test instantly.
hope my experience helps. Again, Get the book! |
