Started the journey a bit over 3 years ago with the CAPM and the previous PMBOK edition. Flash forward to 2020 and I had the necessary hours to submit my application in July. Once accepted, I read through the entire updated PMBOK twice and purchased PrepCast in August. Watched the entire training series, completing approx. 1 to 2 hours per work day, as it allowed for it. Finished in late September. Scheduled exam for end of October and worked my way through the practice exams and memorizing certain concepts/formulas/definitions. I took the exam yesterday and passed!
