Hello Everyone!

My exam is in 3 weeks. Can you please advise what to do and what not to do for these days?

I have solved many mocks (PMstudy 3 sets of 200Q,, Prepcast 2 sets of 200Q,, simplearn free mock of 200Q, Scardo 10 sets of 50Q) and my scores are not crossing 72% they are stucked in between 68% to 72% | should I keep solving more mocks or study the book?

What should be my strategy for the remaining days?

Most importantly: what should I do to braindump all concepts at a time for final 3-5 days revision?

Or Should I extend my exam date?


Your advice and guidance will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!


P.S: I passed my CAPM at 2nd attempt and I literally want to pass PMP at first attempt.

Hello!

I received my PMP via self-study (and experience) in about 3 weeks. For my studies, I used the PMP Exam Prep Training Guide from Rita Mulcahy. The link to her website is: http://www.rmcls.com/about/rita.aspx
However, you can purchase the books on Amazon as well. I found this series to be extremely helpful in many ways.

Hopefully this well help you as well!

Good Luck!

Here comes: 1-the important thing is: you must answer the questions based on what PMI said is valid not based on you know is valid because your personal experience. 2-questions are situational questions so you need to understand where you are in time and space for each question. 3-make more than 1200-1500 questions and when you get 75%-90% accuracy systematically then you are ready. 4-day before the exam and the day of the exam do nothing related to the exam except the exam itself. Relax. The exam is like a travel on airplane: when you are into then it has no sense getting nervous thinking about a bad result.

Focus on concepts. Rather than looking on % of scoring, identify process areas where you are finding difficult / scoring less. Relax and revise the concepts.

Came to this a little late, congratulations on passing. Personally, I analysed my wrong answers, went back to the relevant PMBOK section and/or online lecture and then repeated a different mock exam to see if I'd improved.
