Week-by-week phase breakdown

A 6-week PMP plan splits into four phases: Foundations, People domain drilling, Process + Business Environment drilling, and Mocks & review. Upload your PMP study materials and exclam.ai schedules each phase automatically as a fully guided plan.

Phase 1
Weeks 1–2

Foundations

Read the PMP Exam Content Outline end to end. Watch a full video course (Andrew Ramdayal, Joseph Phillips, or David McLachlan). Set up your exclam.ai workspace with your uploaded PMBOK or Rita Mulcahy PDF. Build foundational flashcards on PM terminology, principles, and performance domains.

Phase 2
Weeks 3–4

People domain

Drill the 14 People tasks. Focus on servant leadership, conflict resolution, stakeholder engagement, and team empowerment. Practice situational questions heavily — People questions are judgment-based, not fact-based. Daily FSRS flashcard reps.

Phase 3
Weeks 5–6

Process + Business Environment

Drill all 17 Process tasks + 4 Business Environment tasks. Cover predictive, agile, and hybrid approaches. Pay extra attention to Business Environment if studying for the July 2026 exam — its weight tripled from 8% to 26%. Practice mixed-domain questions.

Phase 4
Weeks 7–6

Mocks & review

Full-length timed mock exams every 3–5 days. Same-day error review: re-derive every missed question. Focus flashcard reps on your weakest tasks. Final week is a light taper — no new material, only review.
