I am planning to take the test in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I'd like to learn any tips from individuals that have passed the test. Thanks in advance!

Hi Eduard - good for you! I'm sure you have been studying hard for a long time! Some tips I would share are: (1) Make sure you have studied and memorized all the planning processes in order - and really understand them (2) Know your formulas especially the EAC ones (3) Take a deep breath before the exam begins and try to remain calm and relaxed (4) Eat something hearty before the exam - it is a long test! (5) Wear ear phones - I sat near someone who coughed and sneezed and made all sorts of noises - it was distracting! (6) Don't answer questions based on your company does something - answer the way the PMBOK guide teaches you! I'm sure you will do well! Good luck!

Pretty standard for a Microsoft certification test. More than likely, 70% required to pass, or 38/54.

When I sat Microsoft exams, I'd keep a running tab of the questions I did not have confidence in my answer. By doing so I could maintain a sense of my current state vs. what is needed to pass.

Good Luck! And please report back.
