10 weeks total study time.
Used Rita and Pmprepcast only
3-4 hours every weekday, 10 hours per weekend
(I do not recommend this pace)
I reviewed all material 3 times, then concentrated on gaps.
Test had MANY questions regarding integrated change control, closing, and procurement.
Very few and easy EV questions.
I had 1 minute remaining on the teat clock after reviewing my marked questions. I marked a high percentage of questions in the beginning of the exam. Very nervous.
Brain dump was a nice security blanket but only refered to it 3 or 4 times. I would only spend 5 min on brain dump.
PM prep cast was essential for exam preparation. Prep cast questions are typically a little longer in terms of words, but about equal on terms of difficulty.
I do not work as a PM, but have been involved with major projects as a operations manager and coordinator for several years.
Thank you PM Prepcast . Money well spent!
Keep a stuff upper lip!
