I’m excited to share that I have officially earned my Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification from PMI! 🎉 A special thank you to Andrew Ramdayal for his excellent boot camp, mindset sessions, and exam strategies — they played a major role in my success. After all the in-depth learning and hard work, here are a few tips that truly helped me cross the finish line: 🔹 Mindset was the real game-changer. Make sure to watch the Mindset and “200 Hard Questions” videos from Andrew on YouTube 1–2 days before your exam. They helped me quickly identify the best answers and stay confident throughout the test. 🔹 Time Management is critical. Andrew’s “Time Management” video helped me plan how to navigate all 180 questions without losing pace. 🔹 Highly recommend Andrew’s PMP Boot Camp. It’s invaluable for fine-tuning your understanding and strengthening your exam approach.

I took the test back in 2006 - 20 years ago and just took it two days ago and passed Thank you Andrew your mindset videos were the key to my success along with study hall!

During the PMP exam, you get 2 breaks of 10 minutes each. In the new PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) which will take effect July 2026, you still get 2 breaks but they are now 5 minutes each. I don't know what prompted this decision but 5 minutes is too small, especially if you are taking the exam at a test center. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Dear All, This is my first post on this platform! I passed my PMP exam last Saturday on my first try, achieving above-target scores in all three domains. I want to share my preparation and study journey so it can hopefully assist others preparing for the exam. Alert: It is a lengthy post! First, let's clarify one thing: The test is challenging, and timing during the exam and how much time you allocate to each question are crucial for your success. Another thing you need to be clear on is what motivates you to sit the exam and succeed. One of my motivations was to pass the exam before the 8th Edition of PMBOK became available! Now, let’s get into the details. · Success factors: 1. Study diligently. 2. Stay consistent with your studying. 3. Study the PMP mindset and incorporate it into your material. 4. Use various mock exams to become familiar with different styles. 5. Don't panic during the exam if you feel unsure about the answers. · Preparation: Let’s break it down – 1. I started with the AR 35-hour online course on Udemy to get my PDUs. I studied for 1.5 hours early in the morning and for another 1.5 to 2 hours after work every day for the past 2 months. During the weekends, I spent about 8 to 10 hours studying. 2. I created a study plan to sit the exam in early November, but like any other project, I faced some obstacles along the way and had to make adjustments and deviate from the original plan. The main challenge was daily work, as we were in the middle of a cutover, and the go-live was just about to happen. Additionally, I included more mock exams in my study schedule. 3. During this time, I also applied for the exam. To ensure my application would be accepted, I watched the AR YouTube video on using AI to apply. It worked really well, and I was able to submit the PMI application form quickly. 4. I studied the AR PMP exam prep book and read it twice, and then bought the AR exam simulator for the mock exams. I also used the PMBOK Guide 7th Edition, the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition, and the Agile Practice Guide.
