Thanks to the PM PrepCast and all the tools they offered, I was able to pass the exam on my first try.
MY strategy was threefold:
First subscribe to all of the tools here in the PMPrepCast. They are invaluable. This goes double for the exam simulator. More on that later. Also get yourself a study guide like the ones produced by Andy Crowe.
This is good because it will give you a slightly different perspective on the exam and his approach. Like tow heads, two views of the exam is better than one.
Second, memorize and I mean REALLY memorize the PM formulas and the process group/knowledge area table. Write them down twice a day until the day of your exam. Know them so you don't have two write them
down before your exam (thought you still should)
Third, take as many practice exams as you can without duplication. Take one full length 200 question exam per week for the weeks leading up to exam day. Take 2-3 practice quizzes every day, it helps. try to find a timing for the 200 question exams that work for you/ Everyone is different but it is important to get the feel of the exam.
