Are you prepared enough to pass the CMP exam? 
If not, then this episode will provide you with some tips and tricks to pass the exam with ease. 

Taking the Certified Meeting Professional Examination isn't easy by all means.  You have to be eligible to apply to take the examination. After being accepted, you have to take the examination within a year. 

In your wait to take your examination the best possible thing you should do is study for your exam.   Now there is a lot of information in the texts of the EIC Manual and the PMM Manual, but taking the information in small doses can prove to be useful to you. This means planning on studying one skill at a time, or perhaps one domain a week.

Reading the texts provided is certainly very helpful. These manuals do not come into existence easily. It takes a lot of hard work. So you can rest assured that you have everything you need in both of the texts for you to be able to pass your examination. 

Finally, understanding that there are aspects of event planning that are always at the forefront. Understanding what those are and knowing that perhaps you may have to know things like gamification, sustainability, or even virtual events can be useful.

We hope this episode was useful to you in helping you pass the examination to get your CMP.
