I know,, most people came here to share their successful stories. I want to share the real stories, maybe it will resonate with some people who are in the same shoes. I prepared the exam for two weeks. Although it’s a short period of time, I felt so ready. I finished simulator questions scored from 65 at first which was more intended for using the exam questions for study purpose, then started to increased to 73 then 80. I studied 200 extra hard questions and David’s 200 of Agile questions and other videos and materials. Before the exam I also reviewed AJ’s mindset materials etc. I felt ready! I planned to take it easy two days before exam, because I studied long hours on weekends, and stayed late to study after work on week days. But just in case, I studied more… that burned me out. I was not able to focus on the exam day. Questions were not difficult, but I struggled to stay focused to read questions and think straight. As result I got people AT, but rest two models didn’t meet the target. AJ has mentioned rest the day before exam. Listen to him. I can’t change what has happened, I’m mad at myself, and feeling down, but I’ll be okay. Anyone has any suggestions on how should I prepared the rest two modules (again) effectively and efficiently? TIA.

I plan to take the exam in February. Looking for a fast paced study regime. I have done the 35hr course, approved for the exam and bought PMI SH. I am EST based but very flexible on time.

For those of you who have passed the PMP exam, how has it changed your career? Did your salary go up? Were you promoted? Did you land the job you wanted?

Hurray!! 🙌 I officially passed the PMP last Saturday, December 13th—and I’m still buzzing with excitement! A huge thanks to this community for the shared experiences, tips, and motivation. You all played a part in this win 💯. My exam was honestly more difficult than I expected 🫢. No drag-and-drops, no calculations 📠, just one SPI question and two select-all-that-apply items. I stayed very time-conscious, kept my mindset steady, and took my breaks as planned. Thank you, Andrew, for your wealth of knowledge. Now, onto the next level, I will need all the help with my resume.
