Hail to all! I am super excited to share that I passed my exam today on the first try! Huge shoutout to @Andrew Ramdayal for the awesome 35-hour course on Udemy and the TIA Exam Simulator—seriously, mindset really is everything. I kicked off this journey 5 months ago, but the real grind started over the past 3. Watched the course 3 times, tackled all the mock exams, 200 ultra-hard questions and 100 drag & drop ones (funny enough, didn’t get any drag & drop on the actual test 😶) If you’re still in the thick of studying—hang in there! Keep pushing, it will pay off soon, and when it does, celebrate responsibly 🍺🎂🍹

I'm so excited that I passed the PMP today on my first attempt!🤩 My PMP prep journey started in January with the Brain Sensei program. That program was not working for me as it was a lot of slides & I needed someone explaining the concepts to me. I had purchased Andrew's book, PMP Exam Prep Simplified, and realized it came with a course. It was exactly what I needed! I also purchased Andrew's Exam Simulator after I finished the course. I scored 80% on both of the full mock tests in his Exam Simulator. I was averaging 80% on the smaller mock exams (78%-83%). I wasn't sure if I was going to pass based on these scores, but fortunately I did. Here's my recommendations based on my experience: 1. Go through Andrew's program along with the the PMP Exam Prep Simplified book at the same time. I spent a little longer than planned working through the online program & started loosing information. I ended up having to go through everything in the book after I went through the program and didn't feel as confident in my retention. I think if I had slowed down and spent more time on each section (including quizes after each chapter in the book), I would have cemented what I was learning a little more. 2. Get Andrew's PMP Exam Simulator. After going through the course, this is the #1 thing that is going to help you. The exam questions are hard! And these tests prepare you with the mindset. I know Andrew recommends doing other simulators besides just his. I had planned to do this, but ran out of time. Pesonally, I found that his questions were on point with the exam's questions. 3. Time Management when taking the test! This was my biggest struggle with the exam. I marked questions for review, but didn't have time to review any of them. I was rushing through the entire exam trying to keep pace. I got the 5 min pop up at the end of the exam & still had 8 questions to answer! My suggestion is to practice answering questions quickly. If you can eliminate a bad answer without having to waste time reading the whole answer, do it! Every second, minute counts!

What should I be doing next along with filling in the PMP exam application?
