* Can you skip a question without marking it and go back to that question. In other words can you answer a question and go to the next question and then go back to the prev question.
* Can you take water bottles in the exam
* Can you take simple calculator in the exam

I know its a short notice. If anyone can reply back in a couple of days really appreciate it.

Thank you all for your quick response. I really appreciate it. I did pass the PMP certification today. Your response was really helpful. Thanks Rami for letting me know that I can request a physical calculator and some tissues before entering. Just a little nervous before entering. Plus they make it really scary by patting you as if you are entering a high level security zone.

Congratulations Deven!

While the test is fresh in your mind, would you be able to answer a couple of questions to help me when I'm teaching prep courses:

1) How many (if any) questions related to agile or hybrid methods were there?

2) How many calculation questions were there (e.g. EVM, EMV, PERT estimate, lines of communication)?

3) Were there any procurement calculation questions (e.g. FPIF or CPIF formulas, PTA)?

Thanks!

You’re welcome Deven and many congratulations. Proud of You !

I know how it feels, instead of making you feel comfy, they make you feel you’re entering a high risk war zone. It’s worse than airport security check and I personally am against this much security check, the double your pressure instead of reducing it. I got used to it after a trillion exams but for new candidates, it is stressful and not everyone can handle stress properly.

Hi Kiron. Please see below.

1) I think one or two at the most
2) I think 3-4
3) there were procurement related questions but mostly theoretical. No Calculations

Hope this helps. Also you sign a disclaimer not to reveal the questions to anyone before taking the test ;)

Thanks Deven! Definitely don't want you to violate any disclaimers which is why I'm looking for summarized estimates only.

Hi Deven,

Best of luck to you! I think your questions were sufficiently answered above, but I did want to offer that I had on 2 rings - they had me to just put them together as "one," but it threw me off a bit before going in there. Just a little tip!

Best,
Jung
Jung--I'm wondering, did they explain why they made you do this? This seems like a rather odd request for them to make of you.
