What would you say is the #1 most challenging/difficult part of the PMI-ACP exam?

Just trying to cover my bases before I jump into the studying!

Three things helped me:
1. Educational preparation (3 months before)
2. Experiental preparation (years in Agile)
3. Mental preparation (1 week before)

It will be definitely depending on your experiences in the field of agile process-based projects.

Jacob,

To be honest i did not have a lot of difficulties, I agree that several questions are in some way ambiguous, But reading Agile guide of PMBOK , some of the literature recommended by PMI like the art of estimation or how to plan a release by Mike Griffiths and a Kanban book to remember concepts was enough . It's true that i have already a good background in Agile specially in Scrum, and a good knowledge of Lean specially about Kaizen this was most helpful.

The most important is read the questions with attention and calm, at least for me worked 5 days with two a three hours of study 2 days to do practice tests and resulted in almost all above target, i found the exam very scrum oriented so i had no kind of problem with that.

So relax , read the recommenced books and be calm in the exam.

Hi Jacob, While most have covered several areas, one thing equally important is having an "Agile Mindset". You will read this several times if you are referring to Mike Griffiths' book PMI-ACP Exam Prep. All the best.
