Re: [LeadersWorkshop] PMP Certification.. content/material/links required

Dear Mihi,
Join the yahooroup: PMPLinks ... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pmplinks/
go to the files section and download all the files - they will all help you prepare for the PMP certification exam.
PMI's handbook for the PMP certification exam is attached, if you do not already have it.
Go through the following two books, for passing in your first attempt.

PMBOK Guide (3rd edition): The Bible for PMP aspirants.
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge(PMBOK® Guide)is the text book for PMP® certification, and it has to be thoroughly studied before taking the PMP exam.

PMP Exam Prep (5th edition) by Rita Mulcahy: Most Popular book. 

Further suggestions for your preparations:

As you go through the above two books, you should practice questions (MCQs), at the end of each lesson of Rita's book, and the online Knowledge Area Tests at PassPM.com. Evaluate yourself - the online tests generate analysis of your performance and suggest further steps for you. Similarly, as you continue to learn the processes and process groups, evaluate yourself through the online Process Group Tests.

When you feel ready to test your knowledge, take the full-length practice tests at PassPM.com, and evaluate your strength. Their analysis of your performance and subsequent recommendations should help you become ready for the exam, even if you have not gone to any training centre at all.

If you do not have time, but think you already know project management, just check your knowledge in the glossary section of PMBOK, and if you are really conversant with the terms, you can make it without the books. Just go through the practice tests at www.passpm.com (a Canadian website) and evaluate yourself with their free questions (you may complete the 200 questions within the 24 hours - but of course, it is recommended that you complete it in 4 hours). If you do well, go for the exam. If you find yourself lacking, buy the packages offered by them, and practice. If you have problems, you MUST definitely return to the suggested books.

For any assistance you may need, pls don't hesitate to contact me.
