TOPIC: PMP 2021 exam lessons learned - passed with AT on all categories

Hi everyone,

I'm very happy to share that I recently passed my exam with AT/AT/AT status. It was very helpful to read all the exam tips on this forum so just wanted to add my 2-cents.
I set aside 3 months to study (ps. I took the CAPM exam less than 2 years prior so if felt easier this time around re-read PMBOK and to recap the ITTOs):

1) spent about ~2 hrs/day reading (PMBOK, Agile Practice Guide, Andrew Ramdayal's "PMP Exam Prep Simplified")
2) self-paced online courses (Ramdayal's Udemy course)
3) and naturally, using PM Prepcast exam simulator (a must!)

I cannot stress enough about using the simulator. I started doing a 30-minute practice (un-timed ) to build up to sitting for a 4-hr test. I was averaging 72-74% on the full practice exams. One recommendation - try not to take the full practice exam too close to the exam day. Instead, spend the last few days to relax and settle your mind and body.

Good luck!

Congratulations, Tessa!
Glad to hear that you found the simulator helpful.

Please share your lessons learned in the dedicated forum channel, too - if you haven't done it already.

Best,

Gabriella

Hey Tessa,
