Thanks to invaluable resources from @Andrew Ramdayal, I was able to prepare for and sit for the PMP in a month. I needed the certificate ahead of a job interview and I'm glad I had access to the online course and simulation which proved to be massively helpful. I received my job offer shortly after the interview. Loads of questions focused on Agile in the exams, I observed. The exams is truly mid to high difficulty. Keep an eye on the timer, it runs 5X faster when it's game time. In all, don't dwell too long on any question(s) you don't immediately have an answer for. Mark it for review and move on, you can always go back and review at the end of each segment.

I have passed PMP exam on 17 September 2024, thank you Andrew Ramdayal

I'm happy to share that I've passed the PMP on my first attempt. Similar to most of the Skool community, I leveraged Andrew's Udemy Course (replayed the mindset right up until game time), attended his live sessions and took his simulator. Major thanks to the study group on Tues/Sun hosted by @Jay Nimpson being able to collaborate and breakdown concepts that were challenging helped build the confidence needed to take the test. Test anxiety is real, 🫤 however knowing that l've been doing the work of a PM for many years and PMI is just teaching the rules of engagement to improve my projects carried me through the breaks and got me to the finish line. To those in preparation for the exam put yourself out there by asking questions, find the resources that speak to your study habits and get it done! Cheers to the next round of people that pass🥳

🎂 Exciting Birthday News! 🎉I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve officially earned my PMP certification with AT/AT/AT! (Yes, I planned this as a birthday present to myself!) Here’s how I made it happen: 1. Set a goal to get certified by the end of summer—and stuck to it! 2. Manifested my goal by writing it down and keeping it visible at my desk as a daily motivator. Manifestation WORKS! 3. 🔷 Painted my nails blue and wore blue for my exam day - Andrew Ramdayal's tip! 4. Took the exam at a test center away from home to avoid distractions and tech issues. 5. Created a study-tracking spreadsheet to stay on top of my progress.6. Completed Andrew Ramdayal PMP Certification Course for my 35 training hours. - THANK YOU ANDREW! 7. Read Andrew’s PMP Prep Simplified book twice, taking quizzes, and making flashcards for important concepts. 8. Scored 80%-90% on Andrew’s PMP Exam Simulator, reviewing explanations thoroughly—even for correct answers. 9. Averaged 76% on PMI Study Hall full-length exams and quizzes. 10. Reviewed Third3Rock Study Notes. 11. Watched David McLachlan’s YouTube videos on Agile and PMBOK questions. 12. Mastered EVM formulas through PM Master Prep’s Earned Value Management YouTube video- https://lnkd.in/ef6xYVVm —it made everything click! 13. Immersed myself in study podcasts and books to refine my study techniques (yes, I went all out!). Building a Memory Palace worked well!

I am super happy to share my journey with you all so that any PMP taker can benefit from it. I will include some important things I did not get a clear answer for. If you follow this plan, I assure you you will pass your exam. Of course, nothing comes easy; you have to put in the effort. 1- Get the Andrew Udemy course - Go over the course, making notes on any points you feel are important. - You can go through it again if you need to make new notes. - Do all the quizzes and the full mock exam on Udemy, aiming to score over 70%. 2- Go to Mohammed Rahman Channel - There are a couple of videos about the mindset (18 PMP Mindset Principles, 6 Ways To Cheat On The PMP Exam). 3- Go to Andrew’s YouTube Channel - There are many live videos. At the end of each, there are 10 questions. Try to solve them by yourself, then see how he solves them. - Apply the mindsets of both Andrew and Mohammed, as both are good. 4- Now the most controversial topic: which simulator you should get - I would recommend getting SH, as it is very close to the real exam and will expose you to different types of questions. - If you can, also get TIA; it will help you even more but is not as important as SH. - Aim to score 60-70% on SH and 70-80% on TIA. - When solving any question, try to analyze whether you got it right or wrong, and understand the theory behind it.
