When are you planning your PMP exam?

PMBOK 4th edition is out already and from 1st July PMP exam will be based on this edition. So don't waste time if you have bought the 3rd edition and planning for the exam for last few months but never decided firmly on date. Wakeup and set a date immediately as there is a mad rush for dates. You should consider yourself lucky if you get a date in May or June. Consider following before further postponing PMP exam date.

· 4th edition is quite different from 3rd edition. Many process names are changed. Do you want to memorize once again the process names which are named differently?

· Exam pattern is always changing and with the arrival of 4th edition its expected to change more.

· Study material that supplement PMBOK may take some time to be available in the market. So you have to wait for that and new edition always costs more :(

· Even you consider all the free information you found many places. Many of those questions will become irrelevant because of certain changes in PMBOK 4th edition.

Those who have already purchased PMBOK 3rd edition and think you won’t be able to make it then better download the softcopy of 4th edition from PMI website (only member can download free of cost) and dedicate your effort on the new edition.
