I successfully passed my PMP exam last week (4/22), and I scored above target in each domain. The simulator was an integral part of my study plan and success. Here are some of the steps I took to prepare for the exam:
Read Rita Mulcahy’s PMP exam prep book
Watched all of the PM PrepCast PMP videos
Attended the 5-day PMP prep course offered by PM PrepCast and taught by Oliver Lehmann. (I had already completed a good amount of studying before attending this course. However, Oliver helped clarity some areas that I was still unsure about and simplified many of the concepts. The live course and interaction with others helped increase my understanding of the material and confidence about passing the exam.)
PM PrepCast Exam Simulator
(I answered 70% of the simulator questions and completed one exam—my overall average score in the simulator and exam was a little above 80%.)
I also regularly reviewed the advice provided by others in this forum. Thank you!
