Summary

In this chapter, you reviewed all of the necessary information to help you get started on your way toward certification. We reviewed the big questions and answers I get during my PMP® classes, discovered what it may be like on exam day, and also what to expect with the application. You also covered different learning styles and have hopefully discovered what may suit you best. Of course, it may take some trial and error, but I think you probably identified something that resonated with you. You can always adapt your study habits at any time to something that works a bit better.

You will find some questions in the following section, entitled Assessment exam, that cover content you haven't covered yet. This is basically because it's an assessment to see how much you know. If you want to wait and do this after you've finished the guide, feel free to do so. It may be good to get a baseline though and determine the areas that you already know and identify the ones you don't. I highly suggest you download the new exam content outline as the study guide is structured according to the tasks found on it. Here is a link to it: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/pmp-examination-content-outline.pdf?v=149cfab8-bd04-4b7b-bacf-c4b1c5e2d164.

Good luck on the assessment and I'll see you again in Chapter 2, Introduction to Project Management, where you will review different ways to study based on your learning styles.
