Want to be a PMP? First thing you should do is to treat this as a project. Today is your start date and setup a target date. Many managed to pass the exam within 2 months. Nobody can tell you what your target date, should be- so ponder on this and then analyze your strength and weakness - in studying and in meeting your target.

If you are eligible, then start analyze yourself. The ancient Greek aphorism "Know Thyself" is needed: think about  your study style, your strength & weakness, your workload and your life & professional objectives. Then sit down and inventorize those in written form (on paper or electronic document)

After this intial period then record down your PM experience and try to roughly estimate the hours and the type of PM works you have done in the past. Then use this form SampVeriform.xls and fill it in. This will help you in filling the online form at PMI.
