I haven't been on Zhihu for a long time, so here's an update:
Some partners in the comment area may have some misunderstandings. Some friends are really good at the exam. I don’t deny that the PMP exam is easy for you, but it doesn’t mean that the gold content of this certificate is zero. The PMP certificate was imported from abroad. After so many years of development, there are so many people who take this certificate. There is no doubt about its gold content.
I believe that everyone who takes the PMP exam has their own reasons, some are seeking career development, some are improving professional skills, no matter what the reason is, it is useful to themselves.
The idea I have always advocated is: don't go for research just to get this certificate. If the purpose is just to obtain a certificate, it is better not to take the exam. Learning is the most important thing. Applying what you have learned to improve your ability and income is the kingly way.
Here is the original answer:
Is the PMP exam difficult? Those who want to take the PMP exam must have such doubts. First of all, there is difficulty. Regarding the difficulty of an exam, it is difficult to have a standard for judging. It may be easy for you but difficult for others, and vice versa.
When I was preparing for the PMP exam, I came to Zhihu and read some answers. Some commented that PMP is an exam that can be passed casually; some commented that "PMP exam is so difficult, such a high pass rate is fake". ...a look crosses my mind
Those who haven’t passed the exam should have believed the words “you can pass the PMP casually”, and didn’t study hard during the process, and didn’t even get the 1% luck. The result can be imagined. Therefore, the difficulty of the PMP exam and the passing rate of your exam depend on yourself!
Anyway, when I was preparing for the exam, I studied steadily for several months. (No fan meaning..)
The following is a detailed introduction to the PMP exam:
1. First of all, we must understand the pass rate of PMP
I was lucky enough to pass the exam. The official PMI does not publish the PMP pass rate. It is said that the pass rate of more than 90% is announced by the training institution itself. In fact, the pass rate of the PMP exam in China is indeed higher than the international score, but the actual pass rate is around 60%.
If you participate in the training, the pass rate will be higher. Combining the theoretical knowledge of lecture notes, textbooks, teaching experience of the instructor and the actual practice of doing the questions yourself, the PMP exam is not so difficult.
In addition, you can add some test preparation groups to participate in group discussions and interactions. If you can’t understand some questions, send them to the study group. Maybe other people’s problem-solving ideas will brighten your eyes and suddenly enlighten you.
2. Then there is the difficulty of the PMP exam
Don't think the PMP exam is too difficult. Judging from the content of the exam, you need to master the most basic five process groups
, Top ten areas of knowledge. Although the PMBOK textbook is very thick, it is not for you to digest the 700 pages completely. It is mainly for you to learn the basic thinking and basic framework of project management. The knowledge points that need to be remembered in the exam only account for a part, such as ITTO . At the same time, including understanding part of the score, when you come into contact with the PMP thinking mode, you will slowly form a thinking mode in your mind, first what, then how, and finally don't forget what to do.
Exams will be difficult, otherwise how can it be called an exam, the PMP exam is currently all single-choice questions (will be reformed later), a total of 180 questions, although the exam questions are all multiple-choice questions, but don’t underestimate these questions, it is very challenging For your level, the descriptions of the four answers are correct, but you will be asked to choose the most suitable answer. The question contains some logical order, so it is very difficult to rely on it. The exam time is 230 minutes is sufficient.
From the perspective of the exam format, do you think the PMP exam will not be more difficult? It is of course good to have confidence, but you must not take it lightly, beware of overturning.
3. Specific learning methods
Make an overall study plan according to the distribution of the chapters, and then test your determination and attitude in the exam, whether you can make the most of the fragmented time to brush up the questions. Doing exercises is not about many, but how many knowledge blind spots need to be sorted out, and these blind spots must be mastered. There is also a lot of experience accumulated while brushing the questions, and the exam is also very important. Many questions have certain problem-solving skills and ideas, which can be summarized and summarized by yourself.
Four. Summary
Generally speaking, the PMP exam is relatively easy to pass. As long as you spend time studying, there is a high probability that you can pass, as long as you don't write the wrong answer sheet. Therefore, everyone must have confidence, have goals, and work hard, and they will surely pass.
