Passed AT/AT/AT. (Updated-Provisional Score Report )
**This is an update on my previous message about provisional report card. As I have all the final infomration now, I have updated this post as my 'experience'** Hello again all, thank you for the warm congratulations. Passed with AT in all 3 domains in the first attempt. This community was a big support as I turned to it several times during the last lap of my test journey. Here is my timeline 1. March 2023- decided to take the PMP. Made application and was accepted to take the test. 2. March 2024- Ran out of the 1 year time to take test (new job, new city, personal commitments, etc.) and so contacted PMI and they offered a three month extension which was a life-saver. 3. April 2024- Began immersive study (Andrew Ramdayal's 35 PDEU course+ Rita Mulcahy's PMP exam prep book- I am more comfortable reading and studying from books and this is the best one to prepare. Do focus on "tricks of the trade" part in every chapter. 4. 3 weeks to go for exam- started doing question by question- David McLaclahn's videos on 200 Agile, 150 PMBOK, 100 Waterfall. 5. 2 weeks to go for exam- signed up for PMI study and started the 15 questions mini-tests 6. 1 week to go for exam- PMI study hall's 2 full length mock tests (got 72% in both) **I would recommend taking the PMI study hall subscription much earlier (I regret taking it so late in my study). The actual PMP questions are very close to the mini and mock tests.** 8. D-day-- arrived 1 hour early to the venue (to prevent any last minute jitters). On the train read my hand-written notes. During the exam- there was a light on the top of my screen which was really bothering my eyes, I didn't say anything for the first 1.5 hours. However, I asked the staff to switch it off during my 2nd break (should have done it much before!!) and I was able to focus much better. In my opinion, my time management during the test was not great (the light was bothering me too) and if I could go back, I would really try very hard to do every question in 50-60 seconds. I spent more time on my first 2 sections and that left me with less for the last section, and, in hindsight, this could have been managed much better. Unfortunately, I had no time to spare and I finished the last question in the last 2 seconds.
