Our course is heavily
focused on "self-help." Here's why:
A) If you are
intimately involved in both structuring and completing your test preparation,
you will have a better understanding of the experience and reap better results
and
B) We recognize that
there is great diversity in learning styles. By leaving the test preparation
solution in a more open, relaxed format, we believe we can make the diversity in
learning styles a strength rather than a weakness.
In order to become
certified as a Project Management Professional, one must pass the Project
Management Professional (PMP) exam developed by the Project Management Institute
(PMI). This exam is designed to guarantee that certified individuals will have
the knowledge and skills to appropriately apply project management methodology
to any project with reasonably well-defined project requirements and
deliverables. The questions on the examination have been psychometrically
analyzed, referenced to at least one current project management source, it
determines to satisfy the test specifications of job analysis. They come from
the following six content areas: initiation (11%); planning (23%); executing
(27%); monitoring and controlling (21%); closing (9%); and professional and
social responsibility (9%).
The PMP examination
consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, 25 of which are pretest questions
used to develop future versions of the exam. It is impossible to tell which
questions are the pretest questions. All 200 questions must be completed within
four hours. On the day of the exam, candidates must bring a government-issued
identification written in English and including both a photograph and signature.
If the identification and does not include both a photograph and a signature,
the candidate must provide secondary identification with the missing component.
Candidates who take the computer-based version of the exam will receive a
printed copy of their score report immediately after finishing. Candidates who
take the paper-based version of the exam will receive their scores in six to
eight weeks. The score report will indicate whether the candidate has passed or
failed, and will provide a percentage breakdown of the candidate's performance
in each content area. The minimum passing score is determined by a modified
Angoff procedure, overseen by a group of test experts. Individuals interested in
sitting for the PMP exam may apply at the PMI website.
