Hello Anand ben.




Kem cho Jambal bhai :-)

Jambalahaart_raja:

Who is tracking these PDUs? Asalu avi enti?




Professional development units- you earn them thru practice of Proj Mgmt, training others, attending training, developing training material, seminars etc...

PMI site lo enter cheyyali - they review and clear or reject based on their criteria..

nternal trainings cover avavu anukunta.



Last three cycles anni internal trainings and na job responsibilities to cover ayipoyayi - did not list any external training at all :-)

On a different note, you should first do a self-analysis to see if you have the aptitude first before you even consider management. Lot of we desis consider management as a ladder for moving up in career but if you are not cut for it then you will only be left more dissatisfied with your career. Here is a good link

Jp_rocks:

cool bro..did u take it?

how difficult is it?




Yes I did. I didn't find it difficult. For me 30 hrs of Classes (they take payment for 40) and 20 hrs of Self Prep were enough to Pass.

The exam is meant to be more a test of skills than intelligence. So the difficulty of this exam is a function of how much you know about project management rather than how good you are at it.


For a Desi guy who starts of career in India in an IT services company, the PMP should be much easier. Makes it much easier if from the Top CMM certified companies like INFY, Deloitte, Accenture etc.

For Desi Candidates in US, Direct H1B or MS-H1B, this might involve much more work because they rarely get to management positions before mid-thirties. In desi IT service companies, you can be in management by late 20s.

Also while writing exam follow you will be given a sheet of white papers hand write the following ...

0.75: 1, 2, 3 ......,99 100, .... 125 = ???

0.50: 1,2,3 .........100= ??

0.25: 1,2,3 .........100=??


In the above equation just tick mark on the numbers, 0.75 means you are 100% know the answer by seeing question itself without even looking at the choices then tik for mark for each of that ...

0.50: you understood the question, you are sure that 2 or wrong choices and you have to choose one from the ohter two then tick mark in this ..

0.25: you did not understand the question, just blindly follow your lucky choice ... usually people say it is B or D.

For eg: you have marked
0.75 * 100 = 75,
0.50 * 50 = 25,
0.25 * 25 = 6.25
Total 106.25
Still you might fail, so try to HIT 132 with the above formula ....

2. PMP Exam fee - 400+
3. PMstudy type .. here you are getting 40 PDUs + smaple test + course material access for 30 days = $125 this might go or increase to $2000 also if you prefer hi-fi institutes
4. ANother $150 if any body prefers PMBOK hard copy and alos any Rita type of hard copy books

So $650 is min, more that it is upto the people ....

1. Go to pmi.org, register your self for $125+ , you can download PMBOK e-book free, also you get around $150 discount on your PMP exam fees as you are PMI member. If you dont like e-books then buy a hard copy in amazon or anyother place.

2. Just read PMBOK guide 4th edition for 3 times, First time First 70 pages in that book are torture to read, once you could complete them to some extrent rest it will be interestign to continue till the end of the book, try to allocate 4 or 5 hours per day so that you can complete 2 chapter per day. Like this you complete reading this book atleast 3 times, by this time you should be able to tell atleast 80% of inputs outputs, tools and techniques for each prcess.

3. Go to www.pmstudy.com and in the link http://www.pmstudy.com/enroll.asp#PMP
Look for
PMP Training : 40 PMI contact hours*, 4 Simulated Practice Tests, Guides and Chapter Tests on all Knowledge Areas: 30 days (1 month) for $ 129.99

Buy this access once you are ready to spend atleast 60 hours in that 30 days period, with Just $129.99 you will get your PMP pre requisite 40 contact hours, prepare your application as per the guidelines provided in this site & submit it to PMI, study all the chapters once again in this course.

Once your application is approved by PMI, pay your exam fee Schedule your exam.

4. You have 4 full tests in this site, try to write exam as if you are writing main exam, answer all 175 questions, after each test they will give the results in details in which knowledge area you are scoring poor like that .. You ahve to go back and study that area once again .. again repeat the process with model exam -2, like this complete all 4 exams.

By this time you should be able to complete 175 questions within 200 mins and get the 85% and above, you are set to go for main exam.

So for this point 4 alone, you need to spend atleast 40 hours ... exam, re-exam, preparation etc. And also you will be used for that long 4 hours exam.

Lot of my friends they used by the model questions like you and prepare very well, they used to get 50/50 iwhtin an hour then stop the preparation, once they go to the main exam, the moment they cross 1 hour they lost interest and make lot of mistakes and ultimately they fail. So dont do that just use FULL EXAM pattern.

So totally 100 hours if you could spend you can add PMP at the end of your name which is a gate pass in most of the big companies for PM positions. All the best and if you have further questions/clarifications mail me or call me
