Paul, Great to hear about your test and thanks for sharing!
I too agree the Brain Dump is about learning, no so much using on the test.

I wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. I took the exam yesterday. I had continued doing the brain dump every day and I did the dump before the exam because I felt time would not be an issue for me. However, Like Kevin I did not really use the sheets. I think I looked at it once to check a process, but I think just practicing the brain each day was the important part for me. The 47 processes I could name in my sleep. Oh and I did pass the exam with a lot of time left over.

Thanks for the help.

I just took the exam last night and passed. I found it helpful to have done all 47 processes and formulas. I referred to the process chart a number of times during the test. It was very helpful. Also, I found the PM Exam Simulator questions to be very similar to the real exam. Good luck!

Kevin -- I agree completely with you. Having a brain dump is a 'healthy' way of learning all those things that are hard for you. And by repeating them again and again you will more easily retain the information that seemed too complex at first.

In fact... I wrote an article about exactly that... anyone surprised? ;) Here it is:

Paul - I spent a lot of time practicing my Brain Dump prior to my actual exam, along with during my practice exams. When it came time for me to take the actual exam, I only found my self referring to it to double check the formulas. I do recommend you continue to practice creating one, as the repetitiveness for me helped when it came to exam time.
