PMP Certified!!!!!

PMP Certified!!!!!

Long post but I hope it helps someone…..

I finally passed my PMP, I’ve been wanting this for years and working on it for much of 2 years and I finally did it!

I hope this post helps someone because much of those 2 years were spent on materials and courses I did not have to do and life gets in the way sometimes.

I did some research and took several advice on materials to use, but after that exam I realized what was important and i could’ve achieved this a LONG time ago.

I did the entire Google project management certification thinking I needed all 6 courses in the certification to pass the 35hr requirement, when completed and filling out my PMP application I realized I only needed the first course.

I then started Andrews 35hr course to pass the exam, the content was different so I knew I needed it to pass the exam. I also struggled to get through this course with the time I had and responsibilities, but then on one of his live YouTube sessions I learnt about his 10hr crash course and he stressed that it’s all you needed if you already have the 35hr requirement. This is when the game changed for me! Once I was halfway through I booked my date and it was go time! In roughly 6wks I’m PMP certified!

THE ONLY MATERIALS YOU NEED TO PASS

-Andrew’s 35hr Udemy course (If you need the 35hr requirement)

-Andrew’s 10hr Crash course (I recommend this course even if you did his 35hr course)

-Andrew’s exam simulator (you can get this in a bundle with the crash course on his website)

-Andrew YouTube video on 100 drag and drop questions

-Andrew’s YouTube video on all the formulas for the PMP (mostly understand what the results mean for EVM)

-KNOW YOUR MINDSET!!

I was all over the place with preparing and these were the MOST valuable to ME. Also don’t miss his live sessions on YouTube as I got great tips on there as well.

The exam was tough, I started to struggle with time, the mindset saved me on the last 60 questions as I only had 40mins left to answer them. I got done with 2mins to spare. The testing center was also HOT! I wore a BLUE jacket and had to take it off within 5 minutes.

I was elated to see congratulations on that paper! I got 2AT and one T and that was because of the time I had left to work. Regardless I’m happy it’s over and wish I had known just to focus on the things I listed.

I hope this helps and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
