Daniel asked 8 years ago Preparation Time for PMI-ACP Exam
I am a Certified Scrum master with more than 10 years of IT experience. I’m having a hard time trying to decide the best study materials for PMI-ACP®. Do you have recommendations? Also, how much preparation time is needed to pass this exam?
Edward Chung Staff answered 8 years ago Hi Daniel,
As you are a Certified Scrum Master, you should already have the required 21 Contact Hours for Agile project management education. You can self study to PMI-ACP® Certification. The bible of PMI-ACP® Certification, according to my and many other Aspirants’ experience is the RMC PMI-ACP® Exam Prep by Mike Griffiths (2nd Edition) ( https://edward-designer.com/web/best-pmi-acp-book-pmi-acp-exam-prep-by-mike-griffiths/ ) which is considered the bible for the PMI-ACP® exam.
Plus, you can make use of study notes for PMI-ACP® Exam here: https://edward-designer.com/web/pmi-acp/
About the preparation time for PMI-ACP® Certification, since you have already have profound knowledge and experience in Agile, I would say 1 to 2 months would be quite enough. But as PMI has its special way of setting exam questions, you are highly advised to take more PMI-ACP® mock exams to familiarize yourself with the real exam format (you may find a number of these mock exam questions here: https://edward-designer.com/web/free-pmi-acp-exam-questions/).
Wish you PMI-ACP® success!
