hi I am Ray and i'm a PMP certified project manager the tips and strategies
that i share in this channel are exactly the same ones that were used by
me to pass my PMP exam in the very first attempt so make
sure you subscribe to my channel and press the bell notifications so that you get
a notification whenever i upload a new video also if you are writing PMP
exam simulator mocks currently check out my two hundred question mark simulator exam on
udemy the link i will be providing
in the description section of this video the course already has over two eighty students
and above seventy five star reviews and i will be revising the course as per
the new format once it goes live so make sure you give it a try
OK so the first tip that you need to keep in mind when you are
at the fag end of your P M P exam preparation is you should start
revising your error logs error log form a major building block in your PMP
exam preparation guys
so make sure you do not take any shortcuts while creating your error logs you
may have written five mocks six mocks ten mocks twenty mocks it will not matter
until and unless you analyze those mocks and create a solid error log off your
own out of those mocks remember that once error log is made in the right way
it will focus on your weak areas and will prevent you from committing the
same mistakes again and again and also guys it is very important that you revise
your error logs
at least three to four times before the final exam so that you completely internalize
the concepts that you were getting wrong repeatedly now if you want to know
a bit more detail about how to improve your mocks course through error logs make sure
you check this video on my channel which talks in detail about the step by
step process of creating error logs so the second tip that you need to keep
in mind in the final stages of your PMP exam preparation is practice
the PMP formulas
brain dump now if you are not sure of what a PMP brain
dump looks like or how you need to create a PMP brandom check
this video on my youtube channel that explains the procedure in great detail even if
PMI does not allow you to create a brain dump during the exam say for
example when you are taking the exam from home it is very important to practice
that brain dump again and again in the revision stages of your exam so that
while sitting in the exam you don't get confused in recalling
the critical formula or the formulas which are a bit tricky remember that during the
exam you will be on a highly stressful situation so at that point of time
you do not want any confusion like what is the formula of TCP is it
this one or this one so make sure you practice the brain dump at least
two to three times every day in the last couple of days of your PMP
exam preparation it is very important guys and it can be a make
or break in your PMP exam
preparation now tip number three do not write anymore mock exams in the last three
four days of your PMP exam preparation your focus should now only be
on revising the key concepts the mathematical formulas and your error logs let all the
things that you have learned in the last three four months get imbibed into yourself
and get organized in your brain so that whenever there is a need to recall
any of the concepts and any of the formulas
you can just recall it like this during the exam and that will only
happen once you make a solid division of whatever you have learned in the past
three four months and stop learning anything new at this stage so do not do
not do not stress yourself out in writing mocks till the last minute of your
exam and i know how it happens guys you will browse the internet and we'll
get to know this is a wonderful mock and people have posted great reviews about it
so let's write it now don't do it
in the last three four days of the exam this time is not to write
more mocks it is to revise whatever errors you have created in the previous mocks
and revising your error logs and division of key concepts in fact i will give
you a small tip here if the exam simulator that you are using till now
provides you the opportunity to reattempt those questions that you have got wrong make sure
you do that and update your error logs accordingly remember as i mentioned at this
stage
your primary focus should be to synthesize all your learnings for the past three four
months not to learn anything new at this stage if you are liking this video
