Yes, you have heard it correctly, it is one of the more difficult project management exams. However, PMP Certification is also one of the most worthwhile and lucrative.

While the exam isn’t a cakewalk by any means, it is certainly an obtainable certification if you put in the time and effort.

It takes approx 6-8 weeks of time for a working professional to prepare for the exam. Below is the diagrammatic representation of the estimated timeline.

PMP® Exam Syllabus:

  • The syllabus for PMP® certification is based on PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge)® Guide. 
  • According to the PMBOK® Guide, the PMP® exam syllabus is built surrounding various process groups and knowledge areas.

Would suggest if you want to gather more on Tips & Tricks to clear PMP Exam, here you go https://www.edureka.co/blog/pmp-exam-prep/

As you can see from the diagram, the Planning, Executing and Monitoring phases together covers more than 80% of the syllabus

Before you apply for the Project Management Professional® Certification (PMP)  exam, it is advised to take up a training course. These training courses are excellent for helping you understand the various parameters and requirements of different types of projects. 
You can even check out the details of ITIL with the IITIL Foundation Certification.

I hope this will be helpful, good luck.
