I’m sure you’ve long-since moved your focus past PMI studying. Sorry for the late reply but I no longer regularly monitor this page’s comments.

Ron (and anyone), feel free to use the PMP tips I posted here in any way you like.

Katie, thanks very much for posting your suggestions! It makes these pages and our community stronger when everyone helps.

Best,
Mark

I don’t think it’s letting out any secrets to say that I spent a lot of time typing in the answers to the empty cells on everything above over and over and over. It really helped to cement the knowledge, plus my ability to write out as much of it as I could on the scratch paper made it less stressful than trying to remember it during the test. When I got to the exam, I wrote everything down during the 15 minute computer tutorial, it was so ingrained by the practicing that it was automatic; and it REALLY made a difference.

I have a small tidbit to add to your material that helped me. Memorizing the 5 process groups wasn’t too hard, but learning “I Saw Two Chicagoans Quietly Having Coffee Reading Poetry” helped me nail the 9 process areas. Learning the “phone number” 965-633-4564 helped me to memorize the processes; there are 9 process groups and the rest of the phone number says how many processes are in each area (6 in Integration, 5 in Scope, 6 in Time, etc) When I first saw the material, I didn’t think I’d be able to get these memorized, but a few tricks and a lot of rote memory really work.

Just wanted to pass a little help forward
Best regards,
Katie
