		<description>Hi Bill,

I enjoyed reading your blog item on PMP certification.  I am bracing myself to start the PMP certification process and I have three questions for you.

1. Can college coursework count for the 35 project management course hours? If so, is their a time expiration for completed coursework?

2. You stated that the tricky part is that the exam premise is not who can memorize the PMBOK but who has learned the most from the PMBOK.  So my question is while they try to throw in some curveball questions, the format stays the same with multiple choice but different, deceptive terminology?

3. This is more personal and I don't mean to offend you in asking but how much did the PMP certification help you monetarily?  I ask because I took a position with a consulting firm in early '05 and one of the requirements of the company is to be certified in one of several categories.  Everyone that I have spoken to says that the PMP will definitely give your salary a boost but no one will state how much,

Thanks</description>

		<description>Hi, 
Came across your website when researching for materials for PMP certification. Am wanting to get the IIL PMP Prep Pac and was wondering it was any good besides the 35 contact hours that I'll need. Any assistance, advice much appreciated.

Thanks!
