The PMP Certification Exam is offered and made by the Project Management Institute (PMI). This organization will give you the title Project Management Professional eventually after passing the PMP exam. The main purpose of most individuals in striving to earn that certificate is to have a good show to the employers; that they are qualified to handle complex projects and lead it to great success. Also, this exam proves that you are knowledgeable about project management and you can be entrusted with tasks in different forms and levels.

By the time you earn this certificate, you will be able to earn a higher position in a company since most business companies are looking for someone who has taken and passed the PMP Certification exam. So, if you aim greater job opportunities, taking the PMP Certification Exam is highly suggested.

The first thing you need to do is to complete all the necessary requirements given by the PMI. It is said that the requirements you need to gather are according to the degree you are holding. However, these holders should be able to acquire 35 hours of PMP training, based upon the PMI standard. After that, you can now apply an initial application to the PMI. It could be done online by searching the PMI website and then wait for approval.

Once you’ve received the acknowledgement letter, you could start studying for the approaching PMP Certification Exam. There had been loads of things needed to be done in preparing for the exam – PMP training, studying with the PMBOK guide, test yourself with PMP sample exam questions, or have a group study.

You could also go to seminars and listen to great PMP experts on how they passed the exam and the most effective strategies and methods they used. There are many courses available out there that you could attend to. But if ever you are busy, online seminars are found useful.

Materials are already out in the Internet. All you need to do is to search and use them. In my opinion, taking down notes is an effective way in storing important information into your minds. Write down the lessons especially the weak points and those important topics about project management.

By the time that you are done with the preparation and felt that ready for the exam, you need to submit the necessary documents that qualify you to be PMP certified.

Next, take the exam. The PMP Certification Exam consists of 200 questions and 25 of it are not counted. For some reason, we do not to know the passing score for it is still needed to be discussed by the PMI committee. So, all you need to do is to make sure you’ll get a higher grade. Just take a deep breathe and stay calm when answer the questions. Think carefully which answer is the best. You should feel confident that you can pass the exam to be able to think thoroughly during the exam.

Good Luck! I’m sure you are able to pass the exam and receive the fruit of your labor after all those hardships you’ve gone through.
