PMP Certified!

The thought of doing my PMP certification crossed my mind for the first time almost a year and half back. But then I was never decisively working on this. Eventually lot of things around me gave me the inspiration to take up this certification. In the month of October 2011 i made the payment, but i took the exam date only in December first week.

Yesterday December 15th was My Exam, which by God's grace was quite easy as compared to some of the mocks that I taken earlierand cleared without much fuss. My preparation included:

Head First PMP
PMBOK 4th Edition
Rita PMP
then various mocks which included O'riely's , Rita's etc.
And ofcourse Rajesh Nair notes (spreadsheet) came in very handy. The last two weeks before my exam i was only referring to these notes and the questions after the chapters in RITA's book.

Overall a good part of the questions were short not having multiple paragraphs which in itself was a soothing factor Psychologically. But there were lots of questions with two very close options . I finished my 200 questions in about 3 hours and 15 mins and then spent about 40 mins of the remaining time reviewing the 40 odd questions i had marked for review.
