Needs a location Coming soon!

Get together and form a study group - just suggest a location and time and you can form your own study group.

 

Best Practices for PMP Exam Study Groups:

-commitment is key! study group members must be very committed to their study group team, and the process of studying for the exam. Set goals and meet them!

-attendance to each study group session is mandatory and missed sessions must be made up.  when you miss a session, you are letting the whole group down.

-try to meet at least twice a week if not three times a week. the closer to your exam the more important this is.

-one very effective method of learning is for each study group member to be responsible for learning a chapter from the PMBOK and then teaching it to the rest of the study group. The act of explaining the material and answering questions helps to solidify your own understanding.

-drill on exam questions until you are consistently scoring 75-80% accuracy; you need 61% to pass; build up your accuracy buffer!

Good luck studying for your exam!  And let everyone know how you did WHEN you pass it!

    Hmm, before I jumped on this band wagon I should have asked where Gina lived. I'm in Oakland, so San Ramon may not be feasible. Might be easier for me to try and do this in SF or at least closer to Oakland.

    Leslie,
    no chatter but I am planning to kick-off the group next week. So far including you we are going to have 3 people in the group. I will send out an email with possible time to meet or telecon next week. Hope you can make it.

    Can't wait to hear the details of this study group. I'm in Walnut Creek, so hopefully, it will be somewhere close. Look forward to meeting all of you.
