Memory Dump or Brain Dump

As we all know that if planning is done properly the execution will be perfect. So I will request to use first 10 - 15 minutes for the Memory Dump or Brain Dump of the concepts on the provided scratch paper.

What is Memory Dump?
 Jotting down the concepts formulas on the scratch paper before you begin your exam, which you feel may confuse you during the exam or points which you felt difficult and hard to remember.  All short notes which can be covered during 10 – 15 minutes of time can be part of dump.

Why Memory Dump or Brain Dump?
Once we start the exam, we are so engrossed in the questions that many a times it is hard to remember even simplest thing like for float it is LS – ES or ES – LS. Making a small note of points which you feel important just before your begin the exam will be very helpful while you are taking the exam. This practice I am following it since my school days and has always proved helpful for me.

Some Tips on what can go in Memory Dump
As PMP is a not a speed exam but application of concepts and learning’s and if you are not a very slow reader you will have ample time to complete the exam (including review).

-         formula’s for numerical
-         list of 42 process ( if possible, I wrote it down during my exam)
-         HR theory 2 words
-         Risk mitigation ways
-         Sigma values for 1, 2,3 ,6
-         Etc …

Have attached a sample memory dump which is from one of my practice sessions before the exam. Hope this post will be helpful. Please share your comments and keep visiting I will keep posting topics regularly.
