Starting and Submitting your PMP Application

whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email
into the www.Prometric.com website to
secure your testing slot in your area.

Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.

recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the

you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email

Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time
passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out
of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)

9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)

you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free

call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI

Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time
passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out

people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.

of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give

keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.

Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email
into the www.Prometric.com website to
secure your testing slot in your area.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email
into the www.Prometric.com website to
secure your testing slot in your area.

passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.

Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out

Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.

certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If

portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.

difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we

attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)

9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)

to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of

is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.

portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI

Am I guaranteed to pass the PMP Exam?
Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time
passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out
of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.

second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out
of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time
passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out
of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email
into the www.Prometric.com website to
secure your testing slot in your area.

Starting and Submitting your PMP Application
Apply for your PMP certification application directly on PMI's website here. The first decision you will need to make is
whether you want to become a member of PMI or not.
|
Membership has many benefits including access to free .pdf downloads of the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) which is the book the PMP Exam is
based on. In addition, after you pass the PMP Exam and receive your PMP
certification, you will be required to accrue 60 PDU's (Professional Development
Units) of learning during the next 3 years. One PDU is equal to one hour of
training, so you'll need at least 60 hours of training to complete this ongoing
requirement.
Once you have your PMP certification, you can collect PDU's several ways. One
is by taking additional boot camp classes like this one, which will give you
PDU's towards your PMP. If you are a member of PMI, you will have access to
their on-line library of training videos which compliment the PMP material.
BTW, Red Rock also provides you with a list of sources for acquiring 120 free
PDU's towards your PMP.
Another benefit of becoming a member of PMI BEFORE you get your PMP
certification is that the PMP test fee is discounted from $555 to $405 USD. If
you do the math you will note that PMI has made it slightly less expensive to
become a member and then get your PMP.
If you choose to become a member of PMI, simply skip the membership creation
portal and go straight to the PMP application portal on PMI's website which is
located here. When you have completed the PMP application simply
call PMI and ask them to create a membership record from your PMP application
data. This will save you time.
Next, complete your PMP application, submit it, and wait 5 business days. PMI
will reply with an acceptance email that your application for the PMP Exam has
been accepted.
The next step will be to pay for your PMP Test. If you pre-paid through Red
Rock simply forward your acceptance email to
Contact@RedRockResearch.com and
include your full name as it appears on your government issued ID card (drivers
license) you intend to use at the testing center to identify yourself. It must
match exactly. Also please send the email address you use to correspond with
PMI. Red Rock will pay for your PMP test and you'll immediately receive another
email from PMI containing a Prometric code.
Go to www.Prometric.com and locate a
testing center in your area. Copy and paste the prometric code from the email
into the www.Prometric.com website to
secure your testing slot in your area.

Am I guaranteed to pass the PMP Exam?
Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time
passing guarantee for the PMP exam. This means that if you purchase the
guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PMP is a
difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test
on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your
second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the PMP on
the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next
attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we
have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give
you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers
keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
What is your pass rate for the PMP Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out
of 9 pass the PMP exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test,
people who don't study have to take it over again.
Our Optional Passing Guarantee
Our primary objective is to get you past your PMP Test
Even though Red Rock has an excellent optional passing guarantee to accompany
your training course, you should know that we work VERY HARD to get our training
attendees past their tests. We have put thousands of hours into course
development and we choose trainers with substantial industry experience to
present content with real-world examples so that you can understand it quicker.
In addition, we have developed our Pass-Assurance Technology (see below) to help
you understand when you are finished with training and ready to take your PMP
Exam.
Optional 100% Money-back Pass Guarantee
|
|
|
If you purchase the optional guarantee along with your
training course, you will be covered as follows:
- After your PMP training is complete, if you don't pass your test on attempt #1,
we will pay for your second attempt and help you where your training was weak.
If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt,
and again, help you where your training was weak. If you don't pass on your
third attempt, we will refund ALL of your money, except for the tests we have
paid for in your behalf. You even get to keep the training materials given to
you in the course.
- In order to qualify for the guarantee, you must read the PMBOK PMP
certification book we send you, be present in the training class every day,
score within the safe zone on our simulator, and take the test within three
weeks of completing the PMP training course.
|
How can we do this?
We do this with Pass-Assurance Technology. Specific only to Red Rock
course attendees, we have developed an evidence-based benchmark, based on our
simulator-test scores from past attendees, that lets you know how you measure up
against others who have passed the test on the first try.
Now you can know when you are finished studying and are ready to pass your
PMP Test. This is a huge time-saving benefit available only to Red Rock course
attendees.
Compare Guarantees
We know you have a choice when selecting your PMP Exam Prep course provider.
Be careful because not all exam prep guarantees are equivalent. Read the fine
print from other providers and be sure they don't contain 'processing fees' or
'administration fees' which they withhold from you. Red Rock we refund every
penny to you, minus the tests we have paid for in your behalf.
Preparing for the PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class
Our learning model is based on the assumption that you have not studied any PMP
test material prior to coming to the training class. In class, we provide all
of the training materials needed to learn the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) Framework which the PMP test is based on.
For best results, dress comfortably. Most people wear business casual, or jeans
and a nice shirt. Feel free to use a laptop for taking notes, but most people
don't do this. Sufficient white space and a notebook are included with the
course training materials so there is plenty of room for taking notes.
Be sure to plan ahead so you are not distracted during the training course by
work emails or text messages. Red Rock recommends that you turn your phones off
during class and turn them back on during the breaks. We have 5 minute breaks
at the top of each hour during the training course.
Where in
Colorado
to Take Your PMP Exam
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
For a list of testing centers in the
Colorado
area, visit
www.Prometric.com and specify the city ( DENVER
) and the Project Management Institute's PMP Exam from the list of tests. The
Prometric website lists official testing centers in or near
Colorado
.
Most Prometric testing centers are associated with a local University, Community
College, or Trade School. As such, the testing centers open and close in
alignment with their school semesters and breaks. At any given time you might
see only some listed. Check back later and you might see a slightly different
list.
Also, be aware that testing slots change frequently. If you don't see a
convenient test slot in or near
DENVER
, check back in a few days and you will likely see a different set of options.
At the test center, you will not be allowed to bring in your watches,
calculators, food, or any other paraphernalia. A calculator app will be
provided on the Windows Desktop for your use during the test.
The test center does allow bio breaks during the test, but the clock does not
stop ticking. For best results, don't drink a lot of water before the test
begins.
PMI requires 2 forms of photo identity at the testing center to take the PMP
test. One must be a government issued ID such as a drivers license, or a
passport. The other can be a employee ID, a Cosco Membership, Gym Membership,
or any other photo ID you have.
Preparing for your PMP Test Day
After the training course is complete, you'll want to take your exam. We
recommend that you take your test between one to two weeks after finishing the
training course. During the time between training and the test, we recommend
you read the PMBOK and work on passing the test simulator.
Schedule your test in the morning if possible. People can think best in the
morning.
Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the test. Sleep effects compound.
Two or three good nights sleep are better than just one. Try to get several
good nights sleep before taking your PMP Test.
The morning of the exam eat a high carb & fat breakfast. Carbs and fat are
excellent brain food. Get a greasy cheeseburger, or a traditional American
breakfast with toast, bacon, eggs, etc., for best results. This will lubricate
your neurons and get them primed for the challenge.
Chew gum up until you can take the test. The test center employees may ask you
to get rid of your gum, and that's OK. Research has show that chewing gum
relaxes the individual and puts them in a state where they are much more
equipped to handle a test.
Be happy! Research has shown that happy people do better on tests than tense,
or unhappy test takers. Buy yourself a small gift or do something memorable
with a family member just before taking the test. Research has also shown that
thinking of a happy memory also calms a test-taker and produces the same result
as being happy.
Strategies for Passing the PMP Test
To be equipped and ready for the PMP Exam, we recommend the following training
strategy:
1. Attend our PMP Test Prep Boot Camp Training Course
2. Read the PMBOK
3. Pass
our PMP Test Simulator
4. Memorize the Earned Value Formulas. (we do this
in class)
5. Learn how to sequence activities. (we do this in class)
6.
Learn to re-produce the process steps followed in the creation of the Project
Management Plan (we do this in class)
7. Learn the answers to the summary
questions at the end of each section we discuss in class.
9. Learn the 5
Process Groups and 10 Knowledge areas that comprise the PMBOK (we do this in
class)
10. Be able to describe every process step in the PMBOK Framework
(we do this in class)
How to Study for the PMP Exam
Much research has been done on to how to study. Here are some important
elements that embody good study habits, to compliment your training.
1. The best time to study is right after waking up (your mind is fresh), and
right before going to bed (you brain indexes what you were just doing).
2.
Good sleep patterns compliment good study habits. Studies show students who
study, sleep, study, sleep do better than those who just study for a long period
of hours before taking a test.
3. Revisit all study materials at least five
times, at least six hours apart from each other.
4. Don't forget to go back
and revisit the easy material. Some students quickly pass through the easy
material and then spend the remainder of their time on the hard stuff. Be sure
to go back and revisit the easy stuff, too.
5. Assume you are studying to
teach the material to someone else. Create a simple 'lesson plan' outline of
all of the content, as of you were going to present it. Find someone and
present it to them.
6. Once you have been exposed to all of them
material, hour-per-hour, the best study technique is to use test simulator
questions.
7. Use the 'Oracle Study Technique' where you are the broker of
knowledge between the test question and the source of knowledge. Work the
simulator questions and if you don't know the answer look it up from the source
of knowledge (Oracle).
8. If you can write it down, you know it. If you
can't quite write it down, you haven't learned it yet.
