Hi everyone,
Im due to sit my PGMP in April 2021 (hopefully if lockdown lifts in the UK) and while I have been studying regularly for the last 6 months I am still finding myself struggling with the Exam prep questions (doing groups of 20 questions each evening Im rarely averaging more than 40%-50%) success rate.
I have been through a preparation course which gave a mind map view to consider when approaching the exam and I do still have access to the course leader and will be doing some direct prep with him, I have read and reviewed the standard and also Im working through the Ginger Levin exam prep.
Irrespective, Im still feeling very apprehensive about the exam and I dont feel that Im able to "map" the details I have read and learned to the obvious answers. I've read that the exam is 70% scenario based vs 30% in the PMP and even where Im sitting down, logically pulling the question apart, noting things down and trying to apply a best answer suits approach Im still coming up with the wrong answers.
Does anyone have any other tips, perspectives on approach that worked for them or just general advise that I can take into account. Id point out any budget for training etc has been spent so Im not looking for any more direct training or references to prep courses.
