PMI-PBA® Exam Blueprint 

Succeeding in the certification exam is not a rocket science rather a function of the following three key elements:

• Business Analysis & Project Management Experience
• Understanding of Business Analysis & Project Management Principles (Business Analysis guide & PMBOK®)
• Exam Taking Strategy and Practice

Although there is no substitute for the real-life Business analysis & Project Management experience, there is a huge scope of opportunity in the other two areas – Business Analysis & Project Management Principles (according to Business Analysis guide & latest PMBOK® version) and PBA® Exam Taking Strategy & Practice. There might be several questions that might be hovering around your mind:

• How and where to begin?
• How much time (total no of days, hours/day etc) should I allocate to prepare for PBA® exam?
• Which areas should I focus on while preparing and practicing for the exam?
• Which books and training should I consider? etc.

To answer most of the above questions, you need to reliably assess where you currently stand regarding in terms of your preparation for the real exam. Once you know your current level, you can choose the appropriate study aids and confidently plan to be successful in the real exam.

The best way to assess your current level is to take PBA® Practice Exam Simulated on the Pattern of the Actual PBA® Exam. The software generated results of the simulated mock exam will give you a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses in addition to helping you assess your overall preparation for the exam.
