Hello,

Tomorrow, is the D Day...for me.
I have a questions regarding the questions that we can mark to come back at the end of the exam, if there is time enough.
If I select an answer, mark the question and have no time to come back on the question, will my first answer taken into consideration?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alexandra,

like Anupam already wrote, your first answer will count. Therefore you should never leave any question unanswered. Even if you do not really know the answer you have still a guessing chance, right! ;)

All the best for your exam taking and please let us know how it went for you.
You will make it, i am sure.

Regards,

Markus

Alexandra, be confident in your preparation. The exam can make you nervous, and that is good. That is normal. Just don't let it overwhelm you. Have faith in what you did to prepare. Go in there and control the test, do not let it control you. Don't overthink, trust yourself and your instincts.

The only questions I skipped were any formula or network. I marked those, but went through all the others. Remember, all questions are worth the same, 1 point. Don't get stuck in one question for too long at the expense of [n] easy ones if you have to rush at the end.

The questions I was not confident in choosing b/t the two best options, I also marked. Once complete, that is when I took my quick bathroom break, then went through the marked items.

Good Luck. We're all rooting for you. You'll do great.

That's natural. I have seen your posts, and quality of questions you asked in forum. Take it easy. All will be well, just don't let the stress take over. You have a good preparation.

Alexandra,

I am sure you will do great - Do not worry. Relax and go to the exam with full confidence and answer to the best of your knowledge and capability.

You've been studying hard and I can sense from your posts that you do get deep into the details to ensure you understand everything.

Please update us with the good news tomorrow and good luck or I should say: Congratulations in Advance.

I'd say good luck, tomorrow, but it's not about luck. You've worked hard and prepared for this. You can do it.

You're right in that you won't learn anything new, today, but you should take a little time to practice the formulas - you'll want to write them on the sheet of paper they give you before you start answering questions.

When I took the exam, it was easy to see that there were two obviously wrong answers. The other two were 1) how you would probably do it, and 2) how PMI thinks you should do it. Remember that the test is about how PMI wants it done.

End your day, today, on a slow note. Take a little time to relax and not think about the exam. Get plenty of rest, tonight, and eat healthy in the morning.

You've got this.

Thanks for all your kind messages.
I will do my best to pass it from the first attempt.....So hard to study and work at the same time...
I will make you laugh...you not what? I didn't want to comprise my favorite exercise...my running of each morning....So, I recorded some lessons learned during my study and listened to it while I was running :)
Will see tomorrow if it was a good idea to share afterwards :)
Thanks again. You give me trust in myself...
