Vaqar Ali passed his PMP® in just 9 days after he started ExamsPM’s training. In this post, he shares the best ways to pass PMP® on your first attempt. Vaqar was a process engineer and project manager at BP (British Petroleum) with over 7 years of experience. His employer encouraged him to get his PMP® certification for professional growth and to become eligible for promotions in the future. BP values the PMP® certification because it shows the practitioner understands the PMI methodologies for managing projects.

Vaqar wanted to get his certification ASAP because as part of his job, he flies from and to Jordan every two weeks. He flies again on November 5th; it was October 22 and he had two weeks to get his PMP® certification.

Mid-afternoon on October 23, Vaqar and his wife got an unexpected surprise – their baby girl was born early. He was ecstatic, but he was also unsure of how he can handle everything – his job, PMP® preparation, and a new baby.

This is when Vaqar came to ExamsPM.

“Hindsight is 20/20, but coming to ExamsPM just turned out to be an excellent choice,” he says.

Vaqar chose ExamsPM because it provides him with the most value – it was comprehensive, interactive, and affordable.

Vaqar’s advice to others considering taking the exam is: ‘take this course first. It will help you understand the concepts and then practice. And ask all the questions you need to.’
