      Finding a Study Guide on PMP Project

      Management Professional

      Having a Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate is a good credential for anyone who wants to further their careers in project management. Passing the Project Management Professional exam given by the Project Management Institute qualifies an individual to be a PMP. The exam is based on the PMP Book of Knowledge (PMPBOK) also which is PMIOs ANSI standard. Passing the PMP certification exam can be a very challenging task for any individual and getting a study guide on PMP will certainly help them in passing the PMP certification exam.

      There are several study guides on PMP project management professional. Some individuals still prefer the book-style of reviewing for the exam instead of going online to study or downloading a computer based training material. This is because a paperback edition of a PMP project management professional study guide can easily be accessed by anyone, anytime, anywhere without having to plug the computer and going online. They can also forego of bringing along expensive, bulky, and sometimes heavy notebook computers just to study their lessons.

      Getting a PMP project management professional study guide is essential in a candidateOs review for PMIOs PMP certification exam. These books are an easier option for many people because it uses real-world scenarios rather than the traditional study guide offered by the PMBOK. With real-world situations, candidates are more likely to understand the principles and processes of project management. Most paperback books offer assessment exams with review questions to test a candidateOs readiness for the actual exam.

      A good book will also have a comprehensive practice exam that mimic the actual PMP and CAPM certification exam.

      Tips to Use for Passing the PMP Accreditation

      Exam

      The PMP exam is quite a long exam to take D this is why you are given four hours within which to answer the 200 computerbased questions supplied to each examinee.

      To pass, you have to be able to answer at least 137 of these 200 questions correctly (which is equivalent to a percentile score of 68.5%.) Of course, any potential employer would want to see you get a much higher score than that to hire you D and the job market can be merciless due to the numbers of people you may be competing against for the same position. So always aim to get the best possible score you can get.

      One thing that should help you is that the actual PMP exam may have questions that contain superfluous information. This superfluous information actually will not help you get the right answer to that particular question (and perhaps were inserted just to test how analytical you are.)

      Another thing to look out for would be a question that seems to have more than one correct answer offered to you. In reality, there is only one totally correct answer per question on the real exam. The trick is to weed out any seemingly correct answers from the true one.

      Try to use the perspective of an actual PMP (Project Management Professional) when trying to answer the real exam questions.

      Some examinees make the mistake of trying to answer with information from a layman point of view (which is wrong.) The exam questions are testing your ability to think like a PMP.

      Lastly, scrutinize answers which use words that generalize (such as must, never, always, and completely) because these may be trick answers that can be misleading.

      Comparing PMBOK 2000 with PMBOK

      Third Edition

      The Project Management Professional (PMP) is a certified individual by the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI was established to standardize the project management best practices so that it can be applied into any discipline---from the IT industry to the construction industry. In 1987, PMI published a white paper which was known as the Project Management Book of Knowledge or PMBOK. Since then, the PMBOK has gone through three stages of revisions. The latest one, the PMBOK third edition supersedes the PMBOK 2000 which was published as the second edition of the very popular PMBOK guide.

      PMI and ANSI set a clear definition and description of the best practices in the PMBOK 2000 guide. The guide includes knowledge and practices that are applicable to most projects from any industry and ensures that the projects are implemented within the time limit and within the specified budget. PMBOK 2000 has been replaced by the PMBOK third edition thanks to the various recommendations and improvements given to PMI. In PMBOK

      2000, the following were revised and/or improved.

      Most noticeable in the changes would be the physical ones.

      Compared to PMBOK 2000, the PMBOK third edition has a new cover page, is 174 pages thicker, has better and improved illustrations and graphics and the application, implementation and revelation of best practices is in boldface for easy reference. Another big change from the PMBOK 2000 is that PMI has also introduced new sections on project management and has clarified several concepts and introduced new techniques in the PMBOK third edition.

      2004 contains the essential principles, processes and knowledge for the successful implementation and management of any project.

With valuable contributions from certified members, the PMI reintroduced the PMBOK 2000 second edition. PMBOK 2004 was released and supersedes the PMBOK 2000 second edition guide to project management.

      The PMBOK 2004 guide aims to identify the generally recognized good practices of project and program management applicable to all fields of study and industry from the IT to construction.

      Exhaustive studies and explanations are excluded and only the knowledge and practices that are applicable to most projects most of the time are included in the discussion. These principles, practices and processes have been proven to be accepted and recognized by the different industries and will increase the chances of a successful implementation of a project.
