Tips/Suggestions
Do all the sample exams that you can find! Shoot to score 90%
or better on them.
STUDY! Allow 40 to 80 hours to read the PMBOK and otherstudy material. Hint: Form a self-study group and take advantage of the groups synergy to
take sample tests together.
Remember it is a pass-fail exam. You have to get the passingScore and no one but you ever knows your score! So dontworry about not knowing everything about everything!
RELAX! Taking the test is stressful! But you have 240 minutesto answer 200 questions. (And an additional 15 minutes atbeginning for a demonstration of the testing software is alsoallocated.) Most people finished the test in two and a half
hours so you have plenty of time.
