Waseem,
I sat for the exam 11 months ago. Myself, I was most surprised by the check-in process. I knew the exam was proctored of course, but I didn't know that I would be wanded and told to face a camera as I emptied my pockets. There were other people taking exams in the room so I was glad to accept headphones when I entered the testing room. Regarding the test itself, I felt that was all that I expected as I had taken several practice exams and stayed on pace. I did expect to see more calculation type questions. Good luck on you exam!

I've received the PMP, PgMP, PfMP, and PMI-SP, and my key piece of advice is to read the question and then ask yourself "where am I in the process?" The answer to this question can give you perspective that will lead you to the correct answer!
Very impressive. Great tactic.
