The Day of Your PMP Exam
Everybody knows that that the more stressed out you are before any exam, the harder it will be to get a good grade. Stress often breeds failure, and it definitely applies to the Project Management Professional Exam. Just don’t let your nerves get the best of you on your exam day; remember all that you’ve done to get to this point and be confident that you know the material. Call upon your knowledge and experience and you’ll do fine.
Unless you ask for a paper test, you will have to take your pmp certification Exam on a computer. If you need to reschedule or cancel your test, you must call the Prometric testing center 2 days before your test date or 35 days if you are taking a paper exam.
On the day of your PMP exam, you have to bring proper ID to the examination center. Your identification must have your signature and photo in order to be valid. A driver’s license will suffice for most folks. If your ID does not have a signature, you can also bring an ATM card, bank card, or employee I.D. card with a signature. Social Security Cards and Library cards are not accepted as forms of identification at the Prometric centers.
The morning of your exam, eat a good, light breakfast. You should arrive at the Prometric center for your Project Management Professional Exam at least a half hour early so you are not rushed or stressed.
You will also have to leave your notes at home, as you are not permitted to bring any notes or materials into the Project Management Professional Exam. Any notes and materials brought into the exam will be confiscated by the Prometric center and not returned. Cell phones and large bags are also not permitted. Paper, pencil and a calculator are provided to you during the exam.
A great way to help yourself right before an exam is to quickly write down everything you immediately remember from your studies on the paper you are provided before you begin. This allows you to “brain dump” and you can easily refer to the notes you’ve jotted down as long as they are on the paper that’s provided right before the test.
After you’ve completed the test you will be able to check your scores online in 10 days. If you don’t pass the first time, you can always take the test again for a smaller reexamination fee. The second time around, make sure you focus on the sections that proved the most difficult for you and you should have no trouble passing the exam.
