It's my time to share the success stories. I had taken my PMP test on November 22 and I found the test fairly difficult. It aligned more closely to the Study Hall Mock tests. However, i strongly encourage to also take TIA simulators which had quality questions and Andrew's explanation really helps drill that mindset principles in. I took 7 weeks to prepare for the test, and I studied daily for 2-3 hours. Materials I used are below 1. Andrew's Udemy course. Words cannot describe how well the course have been put together that's all you need for the syllabus. NO NEED TO READ THE PMBOK GUIDE. Andrew's explanation along with practice quizzes at the end of each section helps you to retain the material. 2. TIA Simulator (8 Mock tests along with 200 Ultra Hard questions) 3. Study Hall. Very Important. Your actual exam will be very similar to Study Hall. 4. David McLachlan's you tube videos. 5. Last but not the least. Please watch Complete Mindset 50 Principle and Questions video. I watched it multiple times including a day before exam. Cannot stress how important the application of Mindset is to pass your real test. Feel free to reach out for any detailed queries. Good luck!

I took my 1st Mock exam today and made a 63% 113/180. I feel like that is good considering I sit for the test 12/13, and have only been studying for 1 month. What do you guys think? Should i reschedule my PMP?

Dear All, Extremely happy to announce that I have cleared my PMP certification exam in my 1st attempt securing 'Above Target' overall. The score breakdown was - Business Environment - AT / Process - AT / People - T Long post alert - as I want to share my experience how I did it to aspiring PMP candidates hoping it will help in their journey and also inspire them. Study materials used - AR PMP guide PMPBOK guide 7th edition Agile Practice guide AR Udemy course TIA exam simulator PMI study hall (lower version) Study duration - 2 months - of which the 1st month was just watching the 35 hour Udemy course and glancing through the above books just to understand the surface and gradually gauge the depth. Full on study effort was the last 4 weeks wherein I spent almost 4 hours everyday focussing completely with zero distractions trying to understand every concept in detail. Booking the exam - The moment I knew after completing the Udemy course that it would take me at least 4/5 weeks to completely prepare, I booked the exam. I initially booked it for 08th Nov but realized that I can actually do it a week earlier so re-scheduled it to 01st Nov. Remember you can reschedule without penalty only if your original exam date is 30 days away. Of course before booking the exam, I applied for PMI membership which took around 3 days for approval. Study plan After completing the Udemy course and booking the exam, I knew I was locked into this which was a great thing to do as there was no looking back now unless I wanted to spend more money. 5th week - I had earlier just glanced through the AR PMP guide and PMBOK guide in the first 4 weeks of the study plan. Now it was the time to thoroughly read and digest, not memorise. There were however some terms which I had to memorize as I was unable to recollect what they were - example: pareto chart, monti carlo simulation, DISC behaviour etc. 6th week - Once I finished thoroughly reading the guides, it was now time for practicals. I purchased the TIA exam simulator and started with a full length mock exam first to gauge where I stood. I scored around 77%. I minutely reviewed every wrong question to see what was the root cause. Then started doing the practice questions and shorter mock exams. I think the TIA exam simulator along with the 2 AR YouTube videos from the Udemy course have in total approx. 1000 questions. This entire week the effort was to complete as many practice questions and short mock exams as possible.

Hi everyone, I can't seem to remember all the 49 processes. Any advice? When taking the test I'm unsure which documents are which despite studying them.
