Starting My PMP Journey: What's the Best Way for Beginners to Prepare?
PMP Holders: What Advice Would You Give to Someone Starting Their PMP Journey Today?
Hi everyone! I'm considering starting my PMP certification journey and would love to hear from those who have already gone through the process.
As a beginner, I'm trying to figure out the best way to prepare without feeling overwhelmed. There are so many resources available—courses, books, practice exams, study groups, and online communities—that I'm not sure where to start.
I'd really appreciate your advice on the following:
What study materials or courses helped you the most?
How many hours per week did you study, and for how long?
Is it better to focus on understanding concepts or memorizing terms?
How important are mock exams and practice questions?
What mistakes should beginners avoid?
If you were starting over today, what would you do differently?
Any tips, study plans, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for helping a beginner start this journey the right way!
