Dear Friends,

I'm excited to share that I have cleared PMP in the first attempt with the "2 above target" and "3Target” performance. It was a long journey started in June 2020 I was studying until Nov3.2020. I got Joseph Phillips videos through Udemy (great videos). I used Prepcast to practice the exam, it is really great simulator. I read the PMP book 5 times. I practiced many free online questions from different sources( Be sure it from a trusted website and provide you with the correct answers). The exam was very deep in the PMP concepts (it tests your understanding of those concepts). You must know how you manage your time during the exam, otherwise, you cannot answer all the questions. Practice how to answer the questions fast. You will notice that the first part of the questions enforces you to be very slow. The timer will not stop, it continues counting and you may lose your focus and thinking you can not answer all the questions(because of no enough time). But you are wrong you will do it! But you must practice thinking fast, to answer the questions fast. I completed 89 questions spending 150 minutes to answer 89 questions. I reviewed the first part of the questions, it took me 7 minutes before taking the break. The break 10 minutes, but I took 2 minutes only ( I drink water and one piece of candy, I read it not allowed to have drink or food in the exam site, so I respected the rules). I returned to the exam to complete the second part, it was easier than the first one. I completed it before 10 minutes from the exam ending time. I took 5 minutes to review my mark questions( don't mark many questions, only what you feel you need to review). Don’t waste your time in calculate the math questions during the exam. Unfortunately, I wasted more than the appropriate time in calculating, so my advice "doesn't spend more than 1 minute on math questions". Understand the concept to be a great Project Manager not just pass the exam!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. just one thing to say: The online protector and customer service staff were very helpful. Big Thanks!

One milestone achieved, many more to go!



Sincerely,

Hawazin

Congrats on passing! I take my first attempt on Tuesday!! Did you find that the Mock Exam questions were similar in terms of difficulty as compared to the real exam?
