  1. Summary of KISS approach to pass PMP exam
  2. Check if you meet the prerequisites to take PMP exam
  3. Submit the application for PMP exam
  4. Start reading latest edition of Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep before reading PMBoK
  5. As soon as your application is accepted, schedule the exam factoring the effort to prepare for the exam. For someone like me who prefers studying at a slow pace, I suggest factoring 180 hours of effort.
  6. Read PMBoK after reading Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep
  7. Highlight important points when you are reading PMP Exam Prep and PMBoK
  8. Read PMP Exam Prep and PMBoK in detail once and revise them twice
  9. Prepare a list of all the formulas and revise them
  10. Take at least 3 practice tests which simulate the actual exam
  11. If you have not been able to complete the above steps 31 calendar days before the actual date of the exam or if you are not feeling confident based on your performance in practice tests, consider rescheduling the exam to a later date.
