Starting the discussuion on How can I prepare for PMP in 21 days , Let's discuss about PMP. Are you a PMP certification aspirant and just realizing the exam is just around the corner? Are you questioning your preparation? Or someone who is just looking to start the preparation? In your defence, it gets hard to study while you are working as project manager. They hardly get time with all the work they are always bombarded with. But the benefits are huge. Let me assure you that it is still not late for you to start preparing and studying for the exam. And there is hope that you will be able to pass the exam. Allow us to help you how.

Gearing up for PMP exam

First things first, tell yourself or make up your mind that you are taking the exam. It is basic human tendency not do something when they don’t have hopes that they will beable to achieve their goal. The antidote to this dilemma is to tell yourself that you will take the exam. Repeat in your mind 5 times that you will take it. Go. Then continue reading. Next step is also similar but crucial. Tell yourself that you will pass the exam in one go. Like the previous one, this is another tendency humans have, which is to not to make things seriously when there is little chance. Tell it to yourself 5 times.

Why inner motivation is important ?

Now that you have done this possibly assumed as a silly exercise. Let us tell you why that is important. We could simply tell you to start studying and you’d have studied for 1-2 days till your motivation runs out. But instead what is needed for you to do is to have motivation that comes from within you. Telling yourself that you will and that you can tricks your mind into believing things. It creates pictures of success in your brain and that is what you need to keep yourself motivated. Everything else comes second. The reason people are unsuccessful in a lot of things is that they limit their potential and are not in the right mind set, psychology confirms this.

Take mock and find your weakness

Now that you have done the big task now let us get to business. First thing you need to do is to take a mock exam. The reason you need to do this first is that you will be able to ascertain your areas of strength and weakness. And this will help you prioritize your studies in a better way. You can devote time on things you are not particularly very good at. This will help you save time in studying things you already know. This is a trick most people don’t use, but you will, because you are going to crack this in first go despite you have 21 days in hand.
