• Q1) Is it good to do a PMP certification for a

  Although, it is good to have a perspective
  earlier in the career. And your ambition is
  appreciated.
• The prerequisites for the PMP Exam are as

  qualification that is globally recognized and
  renowned for equipping you with the skills to be
  in the community of global project managers. So,
  PMP is always a better option recognized
  worldwide.

  strategic study program. Go for recognized PMP

certification? Ans- Exam preparation takes a lot
of dedication and focus. More than that the right

fruitful. Treating PMP preparation

activities as a project with a proper plan in
place is always beneficial. Treat PMP
preparation activities as a project with a plan.
Find your motivation. Set compelling goals and
plan your activities. Baselining your project
management knowledge against the PMBOK Guide is
considered the best way to develop a
preparation/study plan.

• There is a lot of study material to learn and
  absorb and you may be studying after ages so
  training your brain could be a little tricky. You
  also need to master the practical aspects of the
  information.
• It is still manageable. The entire PMP syllabus
  with the right combination of effort,
  dedication, and guidance is achievable at first
  go.
• Lets see quick steps that I followed to ace
  these exams, which you may also try
• Before beginning your study, plan and survey is
  the first step
• Survey the material you plan to cover.
• Review the charts, graphs, headings, and the
  Guide PMBOK Guide this will be your guide
  all throughout the term.
• Figure out what do you want to learn from the
  given material.
• Make a list of questions that you want to be
  answered and learn.
• Break up the study sessions in smaller chunks for
  better retention.
• The most important is to conquer the PMBOK Guide.

• Try PMP Exam Prep course/ workshops at recognized
  training centers. I have taken mine from Mercury
  Solutions, it is one of the most renowned pmp
  training centers in Gurgaon and known for
  providing PMP Exam Prep courses in flexible
  training modes. Their quality is unmatched, and
  they have an extensive portfolio of catering to
  global participants.

  Online, as per your convenience.
• PMP simulators are practice PMP exams hosted
  online Mercury solutions provided me free
  simulator sessions to practice online, hands-on.
• Because once you are through with the PMBOK
  Guide, your next most important activity will be
  practice questions.
• When I was pursuing PMP exam prep course with
  mercury solutions, they provided me with various
  questions and mock test to practice, such as
  situational,
• formula-based, knowledge-based, interpretational
  and specific technique based to practice, which
  resulted in increased confidence in me to give
  the exams. Thanks to the trainers.
• Although they say that you must get 62 to pass
  the exam however, it is intelligent to practice
  and prepare for 85 rule.

other Project Management credentials such as
Agile, ITIL, Six Sigma and Prince2 is one of the
most sought after and greatly in-demand
credentials. It proudly claims to be the global
language of Project Managers across the
globe. Needless to say that the scope of PMP
hence is wide (global) and not a domain-specific
credential. One can migrate to multiple domains
once you are certified in PMP, especially in
2019 PMP certified professionals are in huge
demand as they are beneficial for the
businesses. As for every successful project,
