Study Plan

A realistic plan to pass PMP®

  1. 1
    Week 1–2
    Foundation

    Read the PMBOK® Guide 8th Edition once end-to-end, then follow a structured video course. Focus on principles, performance domains and tailoring.

  2. 2
    Week 3–4
    People & Process

    Servant leadership, conflict resolution, stakeholder engagement. Map every process onto a project you actually delivered.

  3. 3
    Week 5–6
    Agile & Hybrid

    Scrum, Kanban, SAFe basics and hybrid patterns such as Scrum inside stage-gates — roughly half the exam.

  4. 4
    Week 7
    Situational drilling

    40 timed questions daily. Write down why the correct answer wins, not just that it does.

  5. 5
    Week 8
    Full mocks

    Three to four full 180-question mocks under real conditions. Book the exam once you hold above 75% consistently.

FAQ

PMP® frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare for the PMP exam?

Most working professionals need 8 to 12 weeks at 8–10 hours per week. Our 8-week plan assumes you already lead projects day to day.

How much does the PMP certification cost?

The exam fee is $405 for PMI members and $575 for non-members. PMI membership is $139 plus a $10 joining fee, so joining first is usually cheaper overall.

Is the PMP exam hard to pass first time?

It is demanding but predictable. Candidates who complete 1,000+ scenario questions and score above 75% on full mocks pass first time in the large majority of cases.

Do I need 35 contact hours before applying?

Yes. Our full PMP prep course provides the 35 contact hours / PDUs required in the PMI application.

Is PMBOK 8th Edition enough on its own?

No. The exam tests judgement, not recall. Pair the guide with scenario-based video training and timed mock exams.
