Pls Help! Which Exam should i take first?

[Xiaochuan Wu]

Since all the exams need to be don within 2 years, you’d better arrange your time properly, by passing the easist ones in 1 or 2 months and then spend longer time to study and pass harder exams. I suggest taking them in the order 4-2-1-3.

Precisely for the two year rule you should not proceed in that order. Time starts to run from the moment you take the first exam. Hence, leave exam 4 as the last exam since you need the least time to prepare for that.

To compare: typical study times are 3 months for exam 3 and 1 month for exam 4. If you proceed in that order, you have 23 months for the remaining two exams vs. 21 months if you take exam 4 first.

The way you mentioned work well only if the candidate passes all the exams without fail anyone. Let’s do an example:assume the finishing time for each exam is is the following:

exam 1: 3 months
exam 2: 2 months
exam 3: 3 months
exam 4: 1 month

If the candidate follows your order, say, 3-4-2-1, and fails exam 3 once and pass it second time, then the overall time for passing exam 3 is at least 6 months because he has to study it for 3 months and wait for 3 months to take it again.
Then if the candidate fails the exam 4 first time and passes it the second time, then there is another 6 months(including 3 month waiting time), at least.
Thus there is 1 year to pass the first 2 exams and lest only 12 months to pass the rest of 2 exams. which might have some pressure to do so.

However, if the candidate takes the easy ones exam 4 first, he can pass it after 1 month. Then take another easy one exam 2 which take two months.So the candidate can finish 2 exams within 3 months, then he has 21 months to study the exam 1 and exam 3, which will give the candidate a lot of confidence and less of pressure. So I think the 4-2-1-3 is a pretty good approach if the candidate wants to build up more confidence to get closer to the PRM designation step by step.

I thought failure is not an option

There is one other reason not to take Exam IV first: money. Exam IV is very easy, anyone can pass it.

Exam III is a better test of your ability to get PRM done. If you take exam IV first, pass it but realize in the next exam that you do not have what it takes, you are down $390 but have achieved nothing. Whereas if you take a shoot at e.g. Exam III first and notice that it’s a bit too much for your time, effort or skills, you are down only $195. Maybe it’s better to stop there and look for something else.
