I passed the PMP certification test
By Raymond Keckler | December 5, 2007
Well, I took the certification test for PMP this morning. I passed. The test was a lot different than the practice tests I took. The practice tests were more wordy and tended to stick to what most PMP books discussed. If the book talked about what quality gives the customer, it said fitness for use. All the practice tests tended to do this. The test was different. The questions were more out of left field than right field. Most of the questions were not direct questions. I noticed 5 questions on the test that had bad grammatical form. You could not understand what they were asking. I read those question at least 10 times trying to decipher what they were asking. Ever watch a film is swedish? They almost sound like English words but they aren’t. These questions were not long. Mostly two statements and then the questions.
I finished the question in 2 hours but took another 30 minutes to go over the ones I marked. Changed about 5 of them. ( I marked about half the test). The results of the test gave a percentage on what area they were asking questions about. A lot more detail than on the practice tests. In my opinion, if you get 80 - 90% on the practice tests, you will get about 70-80% on the test.
