I'm happy to report that I passed my PMP exam yesterday with 4AT and 1T, overall AT.
The whole exam felt like a roller coaster. The level of difficulty of the whole exam was going up and down the whole time. I was expecting a pass at the beginning but never expect an AT overall. Almost got a heart attack when I click on end exam, heart beat went crazy fast when I was doing the survey after the exam.
Materials I used:
Rtia's book
PMP Exam simulator
PMPBOK (only open to ref with the wrong answer I got in the simulator)
Couple of things which are important for me to pass the exam
- Understand how input output interact with each other (I cannot memorize them)
- 200% focus on what the question is asking, be careful with certain words as they can change the way you process the question and choose a wrong answer
- Comparing the exam with the simulator, I think they are about the same level of difficulty, but the real exam was more trickier. I did 4 X 100 Quiz and 1 full exam (got 71% to 77%) in order to get myself comfortable with the exam structure.
Thank you PMPrePcast, it was a great help and I will definitely recommend you to anyone who's also going for the PMP destination!!
Cheers,
RL
