Do you think of taking the PMP exam? Awesome! Do you know how to plan your preparation for the test? Here I\u2019m going to share the plan of how to get prepared for the PMP exam in 60 days.<\/p>\n

PMP exam = your own project<\/h2>\n

To begin with, let\u2019s clarify: you\u2019re ready to work hard and to follow the plan. Otherwise, this journey will take you forever. The key here is to perceive the PMP exam as your personal project and manage it like you’re managing projects for your clients. The difference here is that you are your client yourself; and you are the resource to release this project. What is more, you will need not only to plan this project, but to execute the plan yourself too. On one hand, it will add an additional challenge. On the other hand, it will make things even more exciting to get them done.<\/p>\n

What do you need to launch this project? First of all, the input data. This is actually what you usually need to start a project. I\u2019m talking about the key performance indicators that we consider while planning a project. They are time, scope and budget. Of course, funds are important. As you have decided to take the test and to pass the certification you should be aware of the process: how much the test costs, how much the course costs, and other relevant expenses. Therefore, let\u2019s move directly to the time and scope.<\/p>\n

Time<\/h2>\n

You have 60 days<\/b> in order to get prepared for the PMP exam, and that is why you need to define how much time you are able to allocate to get prepared for the tests daily.<\/p>\n

Yes, daily, because 60 days is quite an intense period. I know that for some people it takes six months or even a year to get prepared for this test. However, the less period of time you have, the more advantages you finally get. <\/p>\n

Here is the thing, for the PMP there is no shortcut<\/b>. It is quite a big volume of knowledge that you need to obtain in order to pass this test.
<\/a>
While you are working intensively there is less possibility to lose the knowledge and information that you have learned versus while you\u2019re working slowly. What I\u2019m talking about is while you\u2019re getting prepared for a long period of time most likely you will simply forget what you have learned
six months ago; and by the test time one hundred percent you will need to repass everything once again to repeat all the information and to finally get prepared for taking the PMP exam. <\/p>\n

Do you really wanna do this, or do you prefer to study intensively and to pass the test instantly? <\/p>\n

Considering the above, I\u2019m suggesting to allocate two hours daily<\/b> to get prepared for the test. I personally studied two hours daily at minimum. According to my experience this is the best convenient and the most realistic amount of time to be allocated on a daily basis. A little bit of math. <\/p>\n

We have 60 days and two hours daily, and that is gonna be 120 hours to be prepared for the PMP exam<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s look at our scope of work and estimate it. We need to decide how we are going to spend those 120 hours in the best and efficient way.<\/p>\n

For the project scope we have the actions that you need to undertake in order to get prepared for this test. Here is the list we need to consider:<\/p>\n
