Taking the PMP exam is one of the major steps I'm going to take his career as an administrator of project and one of the most complex. There seems to be a never-ending parade of information to things in his brain, but do not be discouraged! Careful planning and structure, can pass the exam with a minimum of stress and absorb more of the information you need to be a success in his chosen career.
The first thing you need is a plan of study. Assess their daily obligations; many people dedicate months to his studies and ignore the other things that have to do each day. Distraction establishes recovery becomes tedious and interferes with studies. List the normal programming and then allocate an hour a day of study, usually 90-120 minutes. Establishing a routine, you have assigned study time and everything that can distract you as he has taken care of.
Why assign a study time limit? There are just so many rings your brain can do jump before a tire through and begins to stumble. As you push physically, after a while you yourself mentally pushing becomes redundant and you begin to lose the progress he has made. By limiting the time of study, actually increase the retention and the amount of knowledge that can absorb!
If your goal is to be the best project manager may be this can be one of the most important things you can do for their future. You will only need one sixty percent to pass the exam, but if you enjoy being the best at what you've chosen to do, they are aimed at much higher.
Setting weekly goals and make tracking your progress will not only encourage you as you study, will be able to maximize your time and study more effectively. Instead of jumping and perhaps lacking an important area of study, we will try everything thoroughly.
It would be a good idea before you start to make a graph of its goals, week to week. This will help you to focus on objectives newspapers but be sure of not cram too much in each session. They will continue to have much more to focus on one of the topics at the same time. Since you need to learn so much about so many topics, it may be best to divide items into categories that make sense for you. If there is anything of special interest to you like, you can put in such a way that "reward" you after a particularly difficult study section.
Repetition is another good technique to consolidate their new knowledge. Believe it or not, repeating a fact itself creates a neural path your memory can travel again. Instead of "burn" in his memory, which is transferring a path through the undergrowth with important knowledge at the end of the route. Repeat something yourself or writing on paper, you're walking home where it will remain while they visit occasionally.
It is better to repeat the practice every day for at least one month and ideally for two months. If possible, should be the repetitive mental calisthenics when you arrive in the first place, as the brain is in its more receptive immediately upon awakening. In addition, rest in bed for 10 minutes while he mentally repeat what you want to remember can be very pleasant and reinforce a positive attitude towards your PMP test!
They have no doubt heard about PMP boot camps, courses of cram 2 to 5 days for the review that can cost thousands of dollars and claim a rate 95%. Most of boot camps based PMBOK, which is available for much less than the cost of a boot camp for most of their time in class. Reading through and highlighting the most important passages, you will probably learn almost as much for a fraction of the price of a boot camp. It would be better advised to carry out his plan, establish a routine, break their learning into small pieces and reinforce their learning through repetition.
A last very important suggestion - everyone needs a break. Even if you're enjoying your studies, you must have at least one full day a week to get completely away from her and do other things. Not necessarily a big production or cost much money; a morning walk, read, a film, a play or something that really relaxes and updates is as important as the work does the rest of the week.
