How hard is the PMP exam

Question

I have heard that the PMP exam is pretty difficult and the probability to clear it in the first attempt is less. Can somebody tell me how hard is the PMP exam?

Answer 1

PMP Certification is one of the most worthwhile and lucrative and is globally recognized.

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.
