PMI now uses a rough 3 level indication of your performance in the exam: 1. Proficient - your performance is above average 2. Moderately Proficient: your performance is average 3. Below Proficient: your performance is below average
To successfully pass the exam you have to clean up your mind from all those exam myths that will burden you unnecessarily. Just for example, one of my boss told me to really memorize the PMBOK especially the ITTO inside and out, backward and forward, right to left and left to right - upward and downward.
PMHUB Forums has archived in its collective memory some strange questions that crop up in the PMP Exam. You might stumble into it or you might not, just watch and be prepared.
A good converstation on how to study ITTO for the exam. This applies not only to CAPM but to PMP as well.
by ezrider » Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:31 am Memorize ITTO’s for CAPM In the CAPM exam, are there a lot of questions on the Inputs, outputs or tools and techniques of processes? I know the processes, and most of the primary outputs. I can describe the different ITTO’s but I have not memorized the lists. Any suggestions/comments will be helpful
Here is a list of PMP Exam myths: the first is that you must memorize ITTO from PMBOK, second: PMBOK covers everything you need to know for the exam and third is you need to get 35 contact hours from PMI REP. Let me debunk all these myths one by one.
Question: What is the validity period for the 35hrs contact program before the PMP exam? Answer from some member: You will have to undergo the training from PMI R.E.P. (Registered Education Provider) to gain those 35 contact hours credit.
Short answer: the 35 contact hours is valid for life, unlimited time. there is NO requoirement to get this from a PMI REP - any university and college course in PM related subject may be used.
