Here's the thing: I had other priorities, and trying now to catch up.
The exam is in 2 weeks. Has anyone studied for only 2 weeks? and passed :) ??
Oh yes, and working from home full time and kinda... shared babysitting until 9 pm :)

Soha, everything is possible but the time constraints you face will not help. Good luck, keep us posted!

Soha, It is Possible.. I studied for 2 weeks dedicated after office for 4
hours daily and full day on weekend. But I already had full time project management experience of 5 years which also helped me and I had also attended the training conducted by the local chapter.

Soha, it is possible. To have proper awareness of the examination pattern and time, I suggest you to take at least one practice examination prior to your main examination date.

Why don't you postpone it if you are not confident.

I would recommend postponing as Amrapali recommends. While I feel that anything is possible, I do not think 2 weeks is a wise enough time constraint.

Successfully passing the PMP requires practicing taking a 4 hour 200 question exam. You have about 1.2 minutes per question and it's something that simply cannot be thrown together at the last moment.

Soha -

Take a good quality practice exam now as a baseline. If you are scoring in the 85+% range, you can be fairly confident about getting ready within two weeks.

Otherwise, postpone it.

I would like to finish and I think it worth a try...
Do you guys know a source for a free practice exam?

Thank you.

I do not suggest you use free practice exams because the Quality of the questions is questionable and they could be misleading.

You’re time is limited so my recommendation would be to spend a small amount of money on simulation exams that have proven to help candidates. One of those great resources is: PM PrepCast Simulation exams.

Good Luck.

Thanks, Rami. Good point! I didn't pay attention to that and at this point time, it is definitely not to save a few $.

True, I think your ROI for investing in a good simulator will be very high. Good Luck Soha.
