I have been meeting a number of project managers who are working towards certification and they usually ask, 'Do you have any helpful tips for passing this monster of a test?' So in the spirit of sharing lessons learned, I compiled a list of my 10 best tools and techniques. Listed below is how I maximized my study time, prevented study scope creep, and painlessly passed on the first attempt.1.
Study The Vocabulary & Acronyms First. If you can see the world through the official PMBOK colored glasses your study journey will be smooth sailing.

Establish from the start how PMBOK defines key terms, not how you may have used them in the past. I found it helpful to first focus on the back of the book, the glossary, to get a great foundation to build upon. There is even a Free guide online called The PMBOK PMI Lexicon of terms that proved helpful.Here is the Link:2. Get Rita's Study Guide On Amazon - It is brilliant. But don't take my word for it just take a peek at the glowing reviews. If you pay the big bucks for a bootcamp, chances are they might even include her book with your materials.
