PMP Tips and Tricks
PMP Tips and Tricks was initially created as a long list based on my pmp lessons learned and from other pmp aspirants, professionals, trainers, experts etc with hardly any explanation and was just bullet points. The list includes various pmp tips and tricks covering different aspects of the pmp exam certification e.g:
- Study time
- Study material
- Test taking strategies
- Choosing the best answer
But then I thought and also received a couple of requests, why not elaborate and explain each pmp tips and tricks in detail for the ease of pmp aspirants. Now I will try to write one pmp tips and tricks daily with explanation and put a link in here.
I know the pmp (project management professional) exam is a little bit tricky and different then the rest of the certification, but hopefully these pmp tips and tricks will be beneficial for you in order to pass pmp exam on your first try. But, please keep in mind that these pmp tips and tricks are not a guarantee and standard. It’s not necessarily that some thing worked for me and others will work for you too.
If you have some good pmp tips and tricks that you have discovered during your study and want to share with us. We would love and encourage you to do so, and make this thread a one stop for all pmp aspirants. Find below three ways you can do so, but please make sure it’s not shared some where else and also you are personally the owner of the contents:

You have really interesting blog, keep up posting such informative posts!
Thanks Marina,
These comments keep me going
Great post and tips and quite interesting and engaging. Keep up the good work..
Thanks alot..
You’ve got it in one. Couldn’t have put it betetr.
I have a question with regard to tip#7 i.e., choosing an option. If I mark a question after choosing an option, and do not have time to re visit, will the answer be validated?
Thanks Vijaya for the question.
Yes, of course.
Marking the question is visible to you only.
The sole purpose of marking a question could be that you have doubt over the answer and you believe that later you will find a clue or answer in another question and will come back and choose the correct one…
The real point, I was trying to communicate over this tip was that most of the people mark the question and don’t select any option.
So later when they have no time they miss that 25% opportunity by not choosing any option.
Again:
Marking the question is for you and choosing an option is for the machine to count your answered questions.
Hope that’s clear and helpful.
