Okay PMP Certification Candidate, you've just completed your 35 hours of required training. What are you going to do? Please don't respond, "I'm going to Disney World". Hopefully you've followed my advice and have written a schedule that allows for 1 - 2 hours of dedicated time daily for you to begin reading the "ALL-IN-ONE CAPM/PMP Project Management Certification Exam Guide by Joseph Phillips from cover to cover. A sample study strategy is provided on pages 12 and 13. Adapt it for your purposes.
The main thing is not to lose momentum. Remember you will not "find" the time to study. If your life is like mine, you will have to "make" time to study. Life will always provide a multitude of valid reasons for you to put studying off for another day. Don't fall into this trap. It's up to you make it happen. So instead of making excuses, make studying a habit.
Getting certified as a professional project manager can be life changing in ways you may not be aware of right now. It's sets you apart from those unwilling to make the sacrifice of their time to study. Those three letters, PMP, behind your name speaks volumes about your character and determination. So if you haven't done so already, get busy and prepare a written strategy with schedule and follow it. Remember you aren't just preparing to take the certification exam, you are preparing to pass it...and you will pass the exam if you follow my advise.
