PMP Prepration requires atleast 200 hours of dedication. This is just an estimate and it may vary depending on how committed you are.
Below are few typical preparation schedules that you can adopt.
-- The planner is based on the assumption that you will use PMBOK (R) as well as one or more PMP prep materials
-- Use this a a guideline and develop you own plan
-- I would recommend a 9 week schedule as this will be effective in remembering what you are studying.
Aggressive Schedule: 7 weeks (7x7 Schedule)
* Recommended for those who have
-- less commitments and have about 3-4 hours everyday and 12-14 hours during weekends.
-- have good Project Management experience
LEGEND for the planners below
P - PMBOK(R)
G - PMP Prep Guide of your choice (eg. PMP Exam Prep from Rita's RMC (R))
1,2 - Numbers represent Chapters in PMBOK and you preferred prep guide. (assuming the guide chapters are in sync with PMBOK)
BUFFER - To accomodate study plan flexibility
PSR - Professional & Social Responsibility (Not available in PMBOK, but most prep guides have a chapter on this. You should also read PMBOK Code of Ethics Handbook)
Normal Schedule: 9 weeks
Recommended for those who can spare 2 hours every day amongst regular day-to-day commitments.
Relaxed Schedule: 12 weeks
Recommended for those who can spend only 10 - 20 hours per week.
