Preface
T
his edition of book is a pioneer in providing lasting solutions to an unending quest by students all over the world in finding a simpler way of passing the PMP exam.
Being a PMP Certified Professional myself, I understand what students have gone through in their quest to pass this test, and therefore take it upon myself to offer my assistance. There were so many enquiries, interviews and consultations on best practices to pass the PMP Exam with forum members in particular from PMPBest Yahoo Group, and a lot more such forums.
Though it took a long time for me to consolidate the bits and pieces, the work eventually paid off since this is one of the simplest strategy guides that you will ever refer to pass your PMP exam. The bits and pieces that got consolidated into this book are students’ lessons learned, an idea or trick that worked, an approach that changed failure into success, a study plan that fit the situation, a habit that triumphed and more. The summary and the manner in which the fragments were put together if anything to go by makes it an exclusive book, one that will become every student’s most trusted companion as they face the PMP exam, and eventually ace them.

You deserve more than a pat on the back for taking your time to study for and actually sit for the Project Management Institute (PMI®) Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Exam. A lot of students have thought about it but never really come through with the decision. Therefore, consider yourself to have made a great career changing decision.
This book has been written with the view of helping you study for your PMP exam and passing it. This does not mean that it is to act as a substitute guide to what is recommended in the syllabus. The main purpose of this book is to make sure that you find it easy to get through the exam with ease by planning well for your time, and doing the right things that will set you in the right direction within as short a time, and without stressing yourself too much. That is why we call Outwitting (aka outsmarting) The PMP Exam
.
In as much as there are so many articles or blogs that have in the recent past been released that cover several topics, you can rest assured that this book is as a matter of fact more than that. The amount of research that has been put into this book is not from fictional characters, but from more than 12,000 individuals who have had an experience with the PMP exam. This therefore means that the illustrations in this book are as real as can be, and you can surely relate to them. Their contribution to the development of this book have been effectively tested, and satisfactorily approved as a guideline with which this book can be written. I thank them all for their efforts.
There are two sections in this book:
For PMP Certification

The chapters in this book have been made precise and direct enough so that you can make good use of all the material as you seek your certification.
For best results, Susan Wise Bauer (a famous author, writer, instructor, and founder) said read each book three times. First time, read for facts; then evaluate them; finally, form your own opinion. Forming your opinion is a must. In that way you are the judge to decide to follow what is in the material or refer to some other book. She also said there are some books to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. This book is for you to chew and digest if you want to pass the PMP Exam quickly and with ease.
Sole purpose of this book is to help PMP aspirants like you pass the exam in shortest and easiest way. Time is as important to you as anything else in your quest to pass such exams. Therefore, without taking up more of your time, flip over and begin your journey to success!
If you are short of time, I would say do not miss these three chapters: Cheat Sheet, 28 winning habits of The Super Successful PMPs and 23 dirty tricks during the exam. This will reduce your time for preparation
