7. Overview of Exam
Exam is not about testing your PMBOK information
100% relay on real world experience for exam is not a cool idea
Professional training aligned to latest PMBOK (Now Edition-05) is a must for
successful exam
You don’t need weeks of training for exam
A master’s certificate in Project Management is not much
useful for Exam
