I passed my PMP today!!
I'm so excited that I passed the PMP today on my first attempt!🤩 My PMP prep journey started in January with the Brain Sensei program. That program was not working for me as it was a lot of slides & I needed someone explaining the concepts to me. I had purchased Andrew's book, PMP Exam Prep Simplified, and realized it came with a course. It was exactly what I needed! I also purchased Andrew's Exam Simulator after I finished the course. I scored 80% on both of the full mock tests in his Exam Simulator. I was averaging 80% on the smaller mock exams (78%-83%). I wasn't sure if I was going to pass based on these scores, but fortunately I did. Here's my recommendations based on my experience: 1. Go through Andrew's program along with the the PMP Exam Prep Simplified book at the same time. I spent a little longer than planned working through the online program & started loosing information. I ended up having to go through everything in the book after I went through the program and didn't feel as confident in my retention. I think if I had slowed down and spent more time on each section (including quizes after each chapter in the book), I would have cemented what I was learning a little more. 2. Get Andrew's PMP Exam Simulator. After going through the course, this is the #1 thing that is going to help you. The exam questions are hard! And these tests prepare you with the mindset. I know Andrew recommends doing other simulators besides just his. I had planned to do this, but ran out of time. Pesonally, I found that his questions were on point with the exam's questions. 3. Time Management when taking the test! This was my biggest struggle with the exam. I marked questions for review, but didn't have time to review any of them. I was rushing through the entire exam trying to keep pace. I got the 5 min pop up at the end of the exam & still had 8 questions to answer! My suggestion is to practice answering questions quickly. If you can eliminate a bad answer without having to waste time reading the whole answer, do it! Every second, minute counts!

@Adekunle Isiaka - Realized I didn't answer one of your questions... - yes, I observed the breaks. The test was very rigourous and I desperately needed the breaks for a bathroom break, snack break, and just to get away from staring at the computer. It doesn't add to your time if you don't take the breaks, so you should take them.
