Passing the PfMP® Exam: A Study Guide

This book adopts all PMI publications related to the Portfolio Management that were created before the publication date of this edition.

This book is complementary to the Standard Guide; it describes many tips, helps you to remember many important standards, and provides you with a sense of the exam.

By presenting a strong and proven study plan that aids with the remembering and understanding of the core concepts, and by providing the examinees with exam tips and tricks that help them grow a sense of what the exam is testing for, Passing the PfMP® Exam: A Study Guide paves the road for candidates to succeed in their examinations.

Furthermore, there are many tips and two full exam question sets; 170 questions each, with enough explanation to understand the right answer. This technique makes you more ready for the exam and more acquainted with the expected tricks.

This book is different from others as it was created by the author who passed the PfMP® exam after the pilot period was finished and the exam became mature enough to continue with the same skeleton. Therefore, it reflects the flavor of the questions that you are going to see on the exam today. Besides, it covers different examples of each type of the commonly found questions on the current PfMP® exam model; including the regular question, table question, and question set.

As a portfolio manager, your practical experience will help you a lot to pass the exam, and it is a critical success factor of your readiness to the exam. However, in this book, you will find a major support to orient you to the examination philosophy that you will face.
