Buyer Beware

People seeking PMP certification tend to seek out as much information as possible regarding the exam and what to expect. The good news is that with the internet a lot of information is available at the click of a mouse.

The bad news is there is a lot of bad information and unethical people and companies out there taking advantage of people prepping for the exam.

A couple of examples:

LinkedIn is a great source for networking. On the flip side, however, it's also a very accessible portal for unscrupulous individuals. Case in point, a gentleman named Niraj Kumar. He has posted on a number of groups offering free PMP practice exams. The exams are very poor quality and actually contain significant amounts of inaccurate information. He recently posted a link to a company CertChamp which claims to be a PMI R.E.P. I confirmed with PMI that CertChamp is NOT an REP. Here's a clue to how unprofessional they are from their website: "God Forbid, if you fail in the actual certification exam, get 100 Percent Money Back. Unconditionally! It will not happened because our success kit teach you best." (and we quote!)

Why People Fail the PMP Exam
09/11/2009 - 5:51pm

There are a number of reasons why someone might fail the PMP exam.

First of all, it's a difficult test. I don't care who you are, how smart you are, or how much project management experience you have. At the end of the day it's a tough test.

I have had a number of students come to our prep camps who have failed the exam prior to the course. Most of those folks considered themselves to be very knowledgeable about project management, good test takers, and quite a number of them actually held other certifications and credentials. However, when they got into the PMP exam, they soon found out that this was not a test you can logic your way through. In fact, years of experience and a dose of logic can actually be counter-productive on the PMP exam. That's not to say that there aren't those people out there who can self-study and pass... they definitely can, with the right resources.

So why do people fail?
