PMP study plan 2026
Direct answer
A typical structured plan runs 6-12 weeks depending on weekly hours and experience. Foundation weeks cover ECO mapping; middle weeks add scenario drills; final weeks simulate full mocks and review weak domains.
Sample weekly outline
Weeks 1-2: ECO map + baseline mock. Weeks 3-5: Domain deep dives + timed quizzes. Weeks 6-8: Full mocks + error log. Weeks 9+: Pearson VUE scheduling + light review.
Adjust pace using the PMP pathway tiers on /certifications/pmp.
