Qualifying for the PMP Certificate
I just started your Udemy course today and am not sure if my experience in the last 10 years will qualify as PM experience, but spent the 16 years prior to that as a Project lead for clinical implementations. In the past 10 years, I have purchased a franchise and started it from start up, have recently started a Real Estate business, and now just counting pills as a pharmacist (might be able to pull something else out of my hat). I miss project management...do you think I can sell myself with my most recent experience as PM? Life is a constant PM experience, especially if you have the propensity for organizing & planning! haha - Please Advise

@Kayla Corbin I do believe that a franchise start-up can qualify as your PMP experience. It includes a project management plan, resources, risk assessment, contracts with suppliers, setting up supply chains, hiring employees, and building relationships with stakeholders (agencies, banks, non-profit companies, business partners, etc). All of these steps can be treated as a project phases. These are just my assumptions, since you didn't provide any details. Your real estate business is another animal. Repetitive property sales and/or individual transactions usually do not count because they lack a unique project scope. The same goes for lease agreements, or if you are helping clients buy, sell, or trade houses, apartments, land, or any other kind of property. Additionally, your standard day-to-day pharmacist job does not qualify as a project management experience. Dispensing medication, managing daily pharmacy refills, and routine clinical operations are ongoing operational work, not projects. Hope this was helpful.
Hello!
Hi everyone! I'm just kicking off my journey toward earning my PMP and recently enrolled in Andrew's PMP Exam Prep course. My goal is to take (and pass!) the exam before the end of the year, but I'm trying to be realistic about my timeline. I work full-time, serve on a nonprofit board, and have plenty of personal commitments, so I'd rather build a sustainable study plan than burn myself out trying to cram. For those of you who have been through the process, what helped you stay consistent? Are there any "wish I knew this sooner" tips, common pitfalls to avoid, or study strategies you'd recommend for someone balancing a busy schedule? Looking forward to learning from all of you!

@Quentin Salas I will be very straightforward. The PMP exam represents one of the most demanding professional tests. Only 4% of all project managers in the world possess this outstanding certificate issued by Project Management Institute (PMI). In my opinion, it requires (at least) 4-6 weeks of commitment, studying (at least) 2h per day, 6 days per week. In order to pass on your first attempt you'll have to stay extremely focused, sacrifice your free time and social life, and adopt PMP mindset entirely. Your first step will be to complete 35h PDU PMP Prep Course, embrace PMP terminology, and start practicing mock exams (exam simulations). I hope you fulfill other exam requirements. You are likely ready to take the PMP exam if you are consistently scoring 70%–75% or higher on PMI Study Hall (SH) and/or TIA Simulator practice exams. However, the most important step is adopting Andrew Ramdayal's PMP Mindset. You need to understand how to choose answers based on PM best practices rather than just memorizing the facts, rules and definitions. In other words, you have to study to understand not to pass. Making your own list of ultra-hard questions, taking notes, and creating flash cards is highly recommended. Watching the following YT videos (created by Andrew Ramdayal) is a must: - 200 Ultra Hard PMP Questions - Complete PMP Mindset 50 Principles and Questions - 100 PMP Drag and Drop Questions - 120 Agile PMI-ACP or PMP Questions Good luck and reach out with questions, or if you come across any issue.

Question
Can anyone tell me where I can find the "Project Management Plan" document that was shown in Sir Andrew's lecture on Focus Areas and Domains?

I took my exam June 20th before the update. I failed the processes section. Now that there is a new update what should I study now? Also, can someone give me tips on the processes section? I have 2 attempts left and 40 days.

@Nicole Ochoa Now I understand. In that case start with studying asap. You still have more than enough time to prepare for your second attempt. I'm almost certain you'll pass this time, since the Process domain dropped by 9%. Good luck, you can do it!

@Nicole Ochoa I believe videos are more useful than printable study papers. But it's up to you. I can share with you what I have. You can find me on LinkedIn.
