Passed on 1st Try- Above Target On All Domains
Here’s some motivation! I decided to start studying in July of 2025. I had Mom brain fog all through 2025 as I recently had my second child. I planned to take the exam in Dec but I chickened out. I did not study consistently so I did not feel prepared. I scheduled my exam for March 2026. Took long breaks at times because I had a lot going on. Two weeks before the exam I studied almost everyday. At this point I was worried because I could not remember Traditional methods well. But agile was fresh on my mind. Two days before my exam, I stumbled upon Mohamed Rahman’s YouTube on how to use the PMP mindset to get almost every question correct. I skimmed through two of his 23 principles and mindset videos. I also used PMI Study Hall Plus. I got 60-80% on my practice exams. I didn’t even finish Andrew’s book, ( I purchased his workbook). I pressured myself to remember CPI, SPI, EV, PV, PERT, Float and stakeholder channel formulas. Did you know it wasn’t even on my exam? I took Andrew’s advice and wrote the formulas down as soon as I was permitted to. Zero questions. I had one drag and drop. Most of the exam was on scenarios. But the exam questions are different for each person. Again Passed Above Target on all domains. This was a very difficult test. But I feel like PMI Study Hall and Andrew’s questions are harder than the actual exam.
