The test experience "tortured" by the PMP test is worth your review

2020 Participated in PMP The certification test , See that there are many friends on Zhihu who don't know how to prepare for the exam PMP, After much deliberation, I decided to write an article about PMP Experience of examination , Share the personal secrets of landing with those who are preparing for or taking the exam .

​ I am ready to share the following points according to my own situation ：

1. Reference books about examinations

First of all, let's look at the pictures of the book , Let's see ：

People preparing for the exam , When I get the book for the first time, I should feel “ This book is too thick , Too much content ”, Because this book has more than 700 pages , And every time the book is revised, the content will be added , This makes learning more difficult . When I started reading for the exam , Just read through the book roughly , I found that the content of the exam is basically the first half of the book , This shows that we should focus on the first half of the book . And there will be a lot of blanks in books because of translation problems , The content is not so much seen from the outside , So you must have confidence in yourself .

I read the experience post written by others before writing , Say you should read it through more than three times , Personally, I don't think it's necessary , It takes too much time , And it's not very efficient .

I think the best thing is Look and do the topic , If you can't find the corresponding knowledge points in the book to learn , This way, we can make up for the missing , Can effectively improve learning efficiency , Enhance your confidence in learning .

in addition 2022 The examination outline in was reformed , So it is unrealistic for everyone to read a book several times , Time is wasted without understanding anything .

The second is 2022 year 6 The content of the new monthly examination outline is 50%《PMBOK The sixth edition of the guide 》+50% Agile content . So it's not like reading only one book before the reform , The test weight still needs to be grasped . Moreover, after the adoption of the new exam outline, many exam responses are indeed 50% Agile content for , So pay attention to agile knowledge points .

2. About making questions

First , Want to know online about PMP There are countless exam exercises , At this time, do not rush to see a doctor , It is recommended to choose some Exercises for organizations with good reputation in the industry To do it , There is a certain guarantee , This saves time , It improves efficiency . secondly , On the question , We should pay more attention to the depth of questions , Not breadth , Either one-sided doing more is good , Instead, we should pay attention to our understanding of knowledge points , To deepen the understanding of knowledge points in the process of making questions . meanwhile , The same kind of questions that I will You can selectively skip , It's about yourself Wrong topic Practice over and over again , So as to achieve the effect of leak detection and filling .

In the process of making questions, you should also record your own wrong questions , So that I can practice again , You can brush questions every day --- Chapter exercises --- Simulation questions --- Go through the simulation before the exam , Of course, it's best to repeat it many times , In particular, we must practice every day .

There is no real problem in the market , So in those simulated test questions, it is the closest to the real question , They are all sorted out by institutions , You can find some questions to practice in this direction , Pre exam simulation must be done in place , See how fast you can do it .

Be careful ： Finally, the simulation topic given by the mechanism must be repeated several times , Be proficient , Because this is the closest to the difficulty and type of the real problem . At present, it seems that only brushing the old question bank is no longer desirable , Agility is also key .

3. About the exam

We should not only pay attention to the correct rate of questions in our usual exercises , At the same time, we should also pay attention to the speed of doing the topic , Are you doing exercises , Achieve the goal of doing problems quickly and well .

Here, let's take my own example , Before, I had three model tests , I did speed exercises deliberately , So every time I finish the question, I can probably leave 30 To 40 minute , But by the time of the final exam, only 15 Minutes less than . The mentality of the real exam is completely different from that of the simulated exam , Because I will be more careful when doing the topic , It will take more time than usual . If the topic is not finished , It would be a pity .

Last , I wish you all the best in the exam , Go ashore ！
