Hi All,

I just completed my PMP exam about a 2 hours ago and passed!!! 🎉

(Above Target in People and Process; Target in Business Environment)

It was not an easy exam, but consistent studying truly paid off. Here’s what I used to prepare:

Andrew's PMP Course (I took a lot of notes and this helped me remember so much)
PMP Study Hall
200 PMP Questions (Andrew’s YouTube video)

I picked an exam date that worked for me and studied for about one hour per day. I made sure to finish the course fully and watched the mindset video several times. I started using PMI Study Hall four weeks before the exam and it was tough!

1 week to exam:

Focused on weak areas and re-watched relevant course sections
Completed the 200-questions video
Re-watched the mindset video two days before the exam

1 day before exam:

Reviewed a few topics using ChatGPT as my study buddy
Switched off and watched TV to relax

Exam day:

Woke up early and arrived at the exam centre 30 minutes before my scheduled time
Did breathing exercises and motivated myself in the mirror (I knew I had put in the work)
Chose the earliest exam slot (10am)
Once seated, I wrote down three things Andrew always emphasises: (a.) Apply the PM mindset. (b.) Always revert to the team. (c.)Don’t do nothing.
And the rest is history. 😊

I’d like to thank Andrew for being such a great teacher / coach. Your course is amazing from the techniques, the explanations, to the way you emphasise understanding rather than cramming. It made all the difference.

Thanks again!
