►► Answer to CPI/TCPI Question: Since CPI = 0.86, you need 14% improvement first to hit your baseline. Also, since TCPI is 1.37, you need a 37% improvement on top to meet your BAC (authorized spend). So, that's an overall efficiency improvement of 14% + 37% = 51% you are looking at as a Project Manager which is a very very optimistic scenario to achieve. Hence, there is very less chance that that project will be completed within budget.

I am doing your 2023 mock simulator on udemy, and it's very difficult hah, many answers are so close. the multiple selection questions have all answers appear correct, it seems more difficult than the other mock exams, o and the answer for CPI 0.86 / TCPI 1.37 is zero chance, project will be over budget :) I just think TCPI is reverse of CPI/SPI, if over 1, it's bad and over budget

@PMPwithRay Жыл бұрын

Hi. Yes, you are correct in your interpretation of TCPI. Good job! The intent of my mock simulator is to prepare you in a way that the actual PMP exam will feel easy enough!

Hi Ray, Quick question on PMP preparation. What if I take take countless PMP mock test next few months and understand the Concepts from there instead of preparing via study material. kind of reverse method what do you reckon

@PMPwithRay Жыл бұрын

HI Vignesh, I think it's a very non-productive way of preparing for the exam, where you just study to pass an exam and not make effort to understand and appreciate a subject.

Hi, I am currently studying for the Pmp exam, I am currently doing mock exams as I just finished studying the 3 books - the PMbok 6th and 7th edition plus the agile practice guide. Now, I learned that there are another book called Process Groups, should I study that book as well? Or should I just now do mock exams and try my luck?

@PMPwithRay Жыл бұрын

Hi Josima, it is unlikely that you will qualify for the eligibility criteria of the PMP Exam without being directly involved in projects. Assessing your PMP Exam eligibility could be tricky. Hence, I have written a detailed blog post on this topic. Please go through this in detail and I am sure you will be able to make that assessment yourself.

Outside of that, I don't want to sink a ton of time or money into preparing for a test I might not even get to take.

I passed my pmp exam on 2nd Jan with 3 ATs with 30 days of preparation + another 15 days writing & analyzing mocks. The exam was quite difficult and I remained under pressure throughout the exam duration. The first 70-80 questions were nerve racking, all the options were long & lengthy and so close. And yes, there were no numericals and critical path/network diagram questions. All the questions were situational with lengthy options. I reckon PMP exam will be tougher in 2023 than what it was in 2021 or early 2022..

@PMPwithRay 6 ай бұрын

In project management, 35 PDUs (Professional Development Units) refer to the educational hours or credits needed by Project Management Institute (PMI) certification holders, like those with the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification, to maintain their credentials. It's a requirement to engage in ongoing learning and professional development every three years to stay up-to-date with industry practices and ensure the continued relevance of their certification.
