![]() Took both my breaks, breezed through the remainder of the exam since the questions were pretty easy for me, and wrapped up the exam with 45 mins to spare! I took my exam at home, had no technical issues… thank goodness! The first half of the exam wasn’t completely terrible forsure some tricky questions. WRONGGGGGG!!!!!!īut I’ll tell you this much… SH humbled tf out of me! Haha I got a 45% on my first mini exam, a part of me died right then and there haha. I also figured because I’ve been a project manager for several years and specialized in project management in grad school that studying would be a breeze. Honestly, life and work just got the best of me. So I passed my PMP exam today(3/21/23)! I seriously kept reschedulings for the last year! My eligibility expiration was 3/27/23 (I know I’m the worst lol) I literally waited until the last 30 days before my exam to start studying. After the sessions ended, I ended up getting Andrew Ramdayal's Udemy course and Stuidy Guide to actually learn the 6th edition. The mock exams on PM training did not correspond to the trainings and I inevitably bombed all of them because they were not really covered in the sessions. The trainer said that we didn't have to know the 49 processes from the 6th edition. They were supposedly teaching to the 7th edition which restructured all the ITTOs of the 49 processes. Their training did not help me prepare for the pmp. I had tried to study early to avoid the mad cram at the end (which ended up happening anyways). ![]() See my post from yesterday (I'm taking the pmp tomorrow and I am a jittery mess).įrom my recollection, there were quite a number on communication plans, team members not getting along, stakeholders not being happy because deliverables did not live up to their expections. ![]() Despite waking up early and doing all I can to keep myself busy, I was too wired to sleep. There was not much re-reading the question to understand the question being asked.Īlso, I was going on two hours of sleep. The second and third sections were easier and the questions were easier to read. There were several that made me second-third guess my answers in which I fell behind. I may have scored above target in all three areas, but I did not feel I was performing above target!Īs for the test, the first 60 was more like study hall questions. I seriously thought that I could actually fail the exam because I was rushing through the questions. I almost thought I was going to break down in tears because I felt so behind. The second and third sections were in panic mode. You have no idea how fast that time really is! Within that 10 minutes, you have to run to the bathroom, get some sips of water, and each some crackers to quell the hunger pangs. I know everyone knows of the 10 minute break between sections, but after reading mind-numbing questions for over an hour straight, you want to cherish every minute of that break. ![]() Even your breaks were on a strict time watch. If you're reading this, plan time wisely! Now I know what they mean by that! lol. I had squandered precious time on the first third of the test (the first 60 was the hardest from the exam). I didn't know that the 4hours applied to the entire test and that you had to be the watchguard for the entire four hours. ![]() My naive-self thought that the time for each section was allocated evenly. I was in panic mode for 2 hours straight! I thought I knew everything to expect from the exam - but clearly not!!! I struggled with time management and flew through the 2nd and 3rd sections fearing that I would run out of time. Hi all! I can't believe I can finally post of my passing the exam!!! ![]()
