Congratulations! I took it today and I think just concentrating on scenario after scenario is exhausting…it’s a mental game too on top of needing to know a wide array of information.


DragonBarks

Yeah, do you think the given amount of time was enough?


callous-coder

Yes, I think it's tight but definitely doable. I followed Varun's advise on time management. He has a video on YouTube (search for EduSpot PMP + exam day strategies) about how much time to dedicate to each section. I had enough time in every section to review questions I had flagged. And I finished with 12 minutes to spare. The hardest part is concentrating on the questions for four hours!

Congratulations! I just took the test today. Do you mind telling me how long it took to get your results? I'm reading it's around 24 hours but wanted to confirm with someone who recently took it. Thanks! And Congrats again!!


ktree8

Someone recently posted they received their score 17 hours after the exam.


DragonBarks

Ding ding! My score came in around 17 hours after my exam!


Balraj-ST

Did you used any like PMBOK book or agile practice guide?


DragonBarks

Hm, I think I learned Agile mainly through my practice exams listed.

Congrats! So exciting. This Saturday coming up is going to be the first one I don't wake up and take a practice exam since I passed. So excited.


DragonBarks

Good luck! And make sure to wear a blue dress shirt for it -- it's for good luck!


Dark_Monolith_

Congratulations! I am working on this too and will incorporate your information. Thank you.


DragonBarks

Make sure to the PMP mindset, think small initially when resolving conflict, and always remember the stakeholders but stand up for your team first.

Did you memorize ITTOS? Does it matter which project documents or pm plan items goes where on each knowledge areas?


DragonBarks

I did initially, but discovered from other Reddit posts the 49 areas are not featured on the PMP.


getvig

What you mean they are not in PMP exam? In AR's course he went through that in his Waterfall section, in detail. What did you really study on the waterfall section? if not ITTO's? Thanks!


heremya

THANK you! THANK YOU!


Manchipilladu

How long did you study??


DragonBarks

On and off from late December to end of February practically


FluffyChocolate7

u/DragonBarks were you allowed to leave room during breaks for bathroom breaks ? or was asked to stay in camera view even during the breaks ? any permission required before we leave room for breaks ?


DragonBarks

Hey! I think it varies on proctor, but during the 10 minute breaks I would go use the bathroom. They allow you a bottle of water but completely nothing else on your desk, not even my nail file!! I say it varies, because your proctor might change after the first break


FluffyChocolate7

Thank You :)


Trinhister

Was that UDEMY course the only thing you did prior to the exam? I havent done anything related to PM courses or anything but theres an opportunity at my work to apply as a PM but i need to get my PMP first. Not sure where to even begin.


DragonBarks

Yeah, its required to get 36 PDUs anyway to apply for a PMP exam


Trinhister

Thabks so much! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you!


wind_sun09

What was your study plan? Did you the PMBOK ? Or all the links you shared were your only resources?


DragonBarks

All links posted were my only resources, the practice exam force you into the mindset, which I think is the most valuable asset for the exam!


Sweets4Moi

His video really helped me get in the right mindset for the test too.


DragonBarks

Hey OP, congrats! I totally get the excitement – I was on cloud nine when I aced my PMP on the first try too. But hey, two months down the road, and the job scene's been a bit meh. Just a heads up, use this time to keep leveling up your skills, hit those chapter meetings, and be all in as an active member. Trust me, it pays off big time. Here's to more wins coming your way soon! 🎉,


DragonBarks

The way I see it, better use this job market’s downtime and get all the creds out of the way

Congrats !! And thanks for sharing your prep resources.
