Thanks @Andrew Ramdayal for your course and videos.

Hi everyone, I’d like to share my experience with preparing for and taking the PMP exam. I started with Andrew’s PMP course on Udemy, which I found quite helpful. But once I began reading his book, I realized it was much more helpful ☺️. I’d absolutely recommend focusing more on the book than the online course. I think I went through the book 5–8 times until I had everything memorized. I also answered all the questions in the book—not because they prepare you directly for the PMP exam, but because they help you check whether you’ve properly memorized the chapter content. When I started using PMI Study Hall and took my first mini test, I ran into a big issue: I was either wrong or unsure about almost every question. That’s when I realized I had memorized everything but hadn’t developed the right mindset. So I turned to Andrew’s video on the 200 PMI questions. I watched about 50 of them, and they gave me a lot of insight into how to approach the questions—especially how to eliminate options effectively. Then I went back to Study Hall and treated it as a learning tool rather than an evaluation. I didn’t take any full exams at that point because I wanted to save them for later. I strongly recommend using Copilot to help interpret the questions and answers—especially early on, when the explanations in Study Hall can be a bit hard to digest. After completing all the mini exams and reviewing them, I moved on to the full exams; you can see my scores in another post I made here. On exam days, I woke up at 8 a.m., started at 9 a.m., and tackled the questions in three sections with two 10-minute breaks. I even paid attention to what I ate and drank during the exam. I took the full exams with one or two days break in between. What helped me most on exam day was keeping things simple. Don’t overthink the questions—just read and go with the first answer that comes to mind. Yes, you might get some wrong, but it’s better than diving too deep and second-guessing everything, in my opinion. If you overanalyze, every option can start to look correct.

I'm so happy to share that I passed the PMP exam three weeks ago. I'm incredibly thankful for @Jay Nimpson and her study sessions that helped fill my knowledge gaps. @Andrew Ramdayal YouTube videos were truly instrumental in my preparation. The way he breaks down the PMP mindset was crucial to my success. A huge thank you to @Kafilat Osoba for walking me through your exam experience and offering valuable guidance. I also deeply appreciate @Tan Arthur and @Clarence Brice you both helped me stay focused and motivated to improve in the areas I struggled with most. Thank you all for being part of this journey!

Hello Everyone, I am glad to announce that I have cleared my PMP exam. My take on the PMP exam. - My exam had zero theoretical or definition-based questions. - No drag and drop. - No formula-based question (1 question had mention of CPI, but no calculation was needed). - Questions were 1.5 to 2 lines long. - TIA Exam Simulator and Andrew's 200 tough questions were a big help. - Time management is the only challenge I faced.

My PMP application got accepted today. Milestone completed. time to focus on prep and get it done.
