The PMP® exam is a multiple choice test. 200 questions
will be presented to you, one after the other, each with 4 possible answers
of which only one is correct. 25 of the questions will not be counted,
they are new and being field tested.
The objective is: Find the correct answer for each question. The
touchstone is to achieve this for at least 135 question within 4 hours.
You are having 72 seconds per questions.
The key for achieving this objective is preparation by repetition!
The
recommendation for using cbPMPtrainer is first and
foremost to start using it
·
after
you attended the 35-hours of project management education, which is a
prerequisite for the certification and
·
after
you read a good book or the PMBoK guide.
You should plan a period of about 6 to 8 weeks where you
-
at least 5 days week
-
have at least one learning session with cbPMPtrainer (the 90 days of your license will be more than sufficient).
In each session you should see
75 to 150 questions, depending on your personal speed
and your learning progress. The sessions should last between 60 and 90
minutes.
Don’t be worried if your passing score will be low
during the first sessions. The statistics will show your progress. If
there are knowledge areas you see weaknesses in, read again your book.
cbPMPtrainer will show these questions more often any way.
The real life exam will about 200 questions in 4 hours.
Towards the end of your learning period of 6-8 weeks,
you should have sessions with 200 questions and your passing score
should be above 75% in all knowledge areas. Then you’re prepared for the
exam!
After
you attended the 35-hours of project management education you will
immediately start learning with the cbPMPtrainer
using the same schedule as described above.
The difference is:
If you come across a
question you do not grasp and you do not even understand the
explanation, then break your session and look that up in the according
paragraphs of your favorite book. Although this will be jumping from
knowledge area to knowledge area, for some
people it
proofed to be the right way of learning and exam preparation.
