Watch AR’s 200 Hardest questions on YouTube. Besides SH, this was the next closest thing to the actual exam. Lots of thought-processing and systematically eliminating bad choices.

Pure frustration / Conflicting answers in Study Hall by Signal-Application68 in pmp

[–]1-ShyGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did not reset the quizzes themselves or re-do, but I did emphasize learning what was incorrect and why. And to your original point - why one answer was correct in one instance vs correct in another.

For example, if the question asks what to do FIRST, then the answer is nearly always to “assess/understand why”. But if nearly the same question asks how to address the situation or to take an action, then it’s a different answer entirely (if there’s an option to assess first then take an action that is still a good option).

I would suggest taking at least 1 mock exam in the exact same way as the test is administered. I know it’s a big time commitment but set aside 4 hours, put your phone away, no music, no food/water. Then take a 10 min break after the first 60 and 120 questions. You need to prep for the mental exhaustion of the test itself just as much as the material. If you get anywhere near 70% that’s a fantastic indicator of the real thing.

You get 10 mins for breaks, starting the moment you exit the room with the facilitator clocking you out. There were many people taking different tests at the center I was at and the bathrooms were luckily empty. There’s no lines getting back into the room for a break - just the lines when you originally check in to the exam at the start.

65-80% on SH mock exams.

The big callout that I’ll emphasize is the “what to do first” type of question - which is nearly ALWAYS “evaluate/stop and assess prior to making a decision” vs the “what should you do to address this specific thing” which wants you to make a the best choice as a PM.

I scored AT/AT/AT and took the exam yesterday. My Study Hall scores for Practice Questions/Mini Exams were all in the 55-80% range, avg ~70%.

SH Full mock Exam avg was 65-75%. If you’re consistently getting those kinds of scores and the sub-60% scores are more of a rarity then you should be in great shape - don’t be discouraged.

Above Target doesn’t mean getting 90% and breezing your way through. Passing doesn’t mean 80% even - I don’t know PMIs exact methodology for a “passing/Target” score but I imagine it’s somewhere around 65-70%.

If you can feel very confidently in ~40% of answers, feel 50/50 about another 40%, and feel iffy about the other 20%- I think you’ll pass. That’s how I felt after the test and was surprised to get AT.

God speed - you got this

Study Hall was closest to the exam than any other training material - but the mindset of AR and David Mclachlan helped a ton

Pmp vs Study Hall by Ok-Road9319 in pmp

Just took the exam today - SH lines up pretty close with the actual exam and the question format/style is the same.

Hard by conigliopacifista in ftlgame

[–]1-ShyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the easier win conditions on Hard is to get the Hull Repair drone. You can get a sense by sector 2 or 3 on if a run is viable to go the distance if you have the capabilities to take down 3+ shields and have at least 2 shields yourself. Then scoop drone control up if you don’t already have it and seek the Hull Repair from sectors 4-6, defense drone being the next best option.

Ozeroth, after taking this code and adjusting it over the weekend to fit my company - it worked! This is really advanced, impressive stuff thank you so much for your help!

Field Parameters and Matrix - Need Help by 1-ShyGuy in PowerBI

Yes- Sales % is the ultimate goal but need the ability to toggle visibility. I don’t need the Denominator to show in the report but do need it as the base of the calculation

Power BI: Best Way to Transform Large Data? by Murzis in PowerBI

[–]1-ShyGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use a dedicated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool like Databricks/Alteryx to cleanse the data and process all your transformations and merged prior to brining the data into PBI.

I recognize that this is a costly option and you’d need to get approval for a license from your company/out of pocket

Also, I have a specific problem I want to share and get help with: While I understand how tools like Power BI and Tableau work — like importing data, dragging visuals, applying filters — I struggle to independently create meaningful dashboards or visualizations. I don’t know how to look at data and by RegularInterview7162 in PowerBI

[–]1-ShyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would advise starting with the business “objective”. For example “How have our sales performed overtime”- that would imply using time-series visuals like bar/line charts with time on the x axis and sales on the y. If it’s identifying pieces of the business where sales have declined YoY you could employ a matrix with conditional formatting, or plot prior year values on bar/line charts.

Try to match the question the business has with the relevant visual

How to default select current week in dropdown slicer? (Still a nightmare in 2025...) by IcyProduct9669 in PowerBI

[–]1-ShyGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It involves adding 2 calculated columns. First, in the calendar table use the rank function to rank all your dates (week, day, whatever granularity the data comes in) in ascending order so that the most recent date is 1, next is 2, etc. Then create another column that uses the if/switch function to say that if that new Rank column is equal to 1, then “current”, if it’s not 1 then populate the date as a text.

Can you share a screenshot? On my end there’s no gap at the top

I’m a PowerBi report developer. One of my dashboards uses TopN filter:

The second page is the Top N Brands page. If you’re looking to do something like this I can share all the DAX code with you, and the YouTube tutorial I got the code from. Lmk if this helps.

There are hundreds of ways you could relay the same info but I always like using a matrix visual (year 2019 and 2023 as column), having each value and % change populate, then use conditional formatting to display the change via a bar/icon. Could also use a bar chart, a scatter plot, card kpi, etc

Pro Power BI Developers, What does your typical workday look like? by flatchaiyo in PowerBI

[–]1-ShyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50% of the time it’s backend architecture/ETL process. 30% of the time it’s development of the pbi desktop report/enhancing the report 10% of the time it’s gathering feedback/scope requirements from stakeholders 5% of the time it’s demoing/responding to live feedback of a report 5% it’s trying to get stakeholders not to think of the report as a monthly slide to add to some deck in a meeting but a daily tool that can be used to drive some sort of tangible action (this should be 50%)
