A PMP study and textual research road of a "uncle" born in the 1970s

I am 42 years old this year. I have worked in testing, pre-sales and other positions in the communications industry. I used to participate in some project bidding before sales. I learned that many project parties require the project team to have a PMP certificate. I know that this certificate has a certain amount of gold. In recent years, I have taken a few projects as a R&D project manager. I feel that some rules and regulations are lacking in the actual process of project management. Therefore, the idea of ​​systematically learning project management knowledge, obtaining PMP certificates, and becoming a "regular army" was born. When I was looking for a research institution, I found 51CTO accidentally, and I felt very formal. I signed up without hesitation. The registration was at the end of July and beginning of August. I consulted the head teacher and said that there were two exams in September and December in 20 years. I felt that September was too late, so I decided to take the exam in December. After signing up, I started to watch video courses on the Internet intermittently, but the progress was slow. After the live broadcast of the class started in September, the website updated the recommended completion time of each stage of the learning video, and found that the little advancement accumulated before the class started has been gradually pulled Nearly, when Mr. Wang An gave a live broadcast for the first time, he was basically no longer leading. The real start to increase the intensity of study was basically after the National Day. After that, I was basically in a hurry to complete the online video study and contact of the corresponding chapter before the time for the live broadcast of the teacher Wang chapter. After that, according to the time recommended by the online learning center, complete the following topics and lectures, complete 6 sets of simulation questions, 2 sets of sprint questions, and 2 of the 3 sets of paper simulation questions issued. Time did a review of the wrong question. According to statistics on the website, the video learning time is 28. 5 hours (should not include the time for questioning and review), I also spent some time offline watching 51CTO's supporting textbooks (actually, the drawdown of the online course PPT of Teacher Wang), Dr. Wang, PMBOK textbooks, etc., but spent on these textbooks There is not much time to go to. It is basically a thorough reading, not reaching the level of intensive reading. The total time spent for the exam is estimated to be about 100 hours, which did not reach the 200 hours recommended by Teacher Wang in the opening class. In the end, I got 4A1T and a decent result. . Through this exam, my experience is: 1. Be sure to do more questions, look at the analysis of the questions more, and summarize more. As an adult who tends to lose concentration when watching teacher videos or textbooks, it’s easy to forget after reading it. He doesn’t have a good grasp of knowledge points, and may even have no impression at all. You can strengthen your learning by doing questions and reviewing. Even in the actual PMP exam, I encountered more than 10 real questions or similar questions that I had done before. I regretted that I did not understand the exam thoroughly when I went back to the exam and I was not sure whether I did it right or not; 2. Knowledge of the topic You must read it a few more times, such as cross talks, some concept analysis, etc., to strengthen it, especially the pamphlet that was published summarized some routines for making questions, which is very useful. 3. Hurry up during the exam. Due to the need to turn the pages of the test paper, paint the answer sheet, the actual test is easy to be disturbed (I am often disturbed by the invigilator in the first table because the test is placed in the first table), dyslexia caused by tension, etc., the actual test may be It takes more time than the online simulation test. It is recommended to calculate the time to answer the questions, and fill in the answers according to intuition and skip quickly. Through this PMP study and examination experience, my gain is: I have enriched the systematic theoretical knowledge of project management, obtained the PMP certificate, and met a class of students who can discuss project theory and practical issues, and chat and blow water. ; Through participating in the first textual research in 20 years, I also gave myself the courage and confidence to start again in middle age. The next few stops of this year's project management exam have been planned: ACP, soft exam middle and high items, I believe they can all pass at once! The experience of study and examination, my gains are: I have enriched the systematic theoretical knowledge of project management, obtained the PMP certificate, and met a class of students who can discuss project theory and practical issues, and chat and blow water; through participation in the second The first textual research in ten years has also given me the courage and confidence to start again in middle age. The next few stops of this year’s project management exam have been planned: ACP, soft exam middle and advanced items, I believe they can all pass at once!
