From PMHub.net - First PMP Exam LL – new exam October 2011

Use the above link to read the first lesson learned for the new exam format I've seen from PMhub.net (good site to bookmark). Here is a partial excerpt below:

"PMP® Exam:

  • As we are all made well aware, the Professional Responsibility domain has now been incorporated into the Process Areas, which eliminates the nice, obvious “do-the-right-thing” type of question. Means that now we need to think about the hard facts, as well as the soft logic that needs to be applied to the situation.
  • My questions were very wordy and it took me the whole 4 hours to write the exam. I usually finish these types of tests in half the allocated time, but at the 2 hour mark, I was exactly at Question 100.
  • Know your Input, T&T and Outputs! Not an option to think that logic will dictate if you have the processes memorised, which I first thought would be my approach – thank goodness I was advised otherwise.
  • PTA did show up on my exam
  • The majority of questions were not formula-type, which would have been nice, as I memorised all the formulas.
  • All in all, it was a fair exam, in terms of content, but it was quite difficult, and I would recommend at least 2 months of study.
