How do I Know That I'm Ready to Taking the PMP Exam?

 Expert Advice

You are ready when YOU know that you are ready. Not when your sister says you are ready, not when your horoscope says this is a good week for exams and not when you ‘heard’ the exam is changing. Take the exam when YOU are ready.

Margaret Meloni, PMP

Only you can answer that question with finality, but Margaret Meloni wrote an excellent article titled The Best Time to Take the PMP Exam that may help guide you.

In summary, she says that you have to answer these questions:

  • Do you have the qualifying work experience that you need?
  • Have you submitted your application?
  • Have you studied?
  • Are you consistently scoring well on PMP practice exams?
  • When you miss practice exam questions, do you understand why?

Take the above into considerations as you set your exam date. If you have studied and you are doing well on your practice exams, it is time to take the exam.

If you push yourself to take the exam when you are not prepared for it, you are likely to have an unpleasant experience.
