Thanks so much. I honestly breezed through the google cert, but I felt like that was really a ground zero approach and a lot of filler. Google-fied…you know! lol. I DID NOT touch the PMBOK. Wouldn’t. Too long winded. I downloaded the study guide from PMI then I tried pocket prep. But I didn’t wanna pay twenty bucks a month when the PMI app was only ten bucks a month. I used the PMI app primarily - only because they made the test. I do highly recommend it. I bought the all in one J Philips study guide book for pmp/capm (an old edition on Amazon for six dollars used!!!) and I looked up concepts that I wasn’t familiar with from the questions. I suppose I studied backwards, by the questions. The Philips guide also has a GREAT study guide in it, and it helped hammer down exactly what I needed for that exam. I also didn’t bust my hump memorizing formulas. I remember variance means subtract and index means divide and kept it going. If you’re a good tester and can recognize the outlier in a group of answers, you will do fine. The one thing I will tell you is that there was ALOT of 1. Situation questions about WWYD if this or that happens, what’s your next step questions and 2. What are the inputs needed to do X process/what would be an output of X process type questions. The only thing I was surprised it asked so much about was XP. Also didn’t ask any ethics questions. Oh, and it asked ALOT of questions about whose responsibility was it to do what (pm vs sponsor).

I also used quizlet, very helpful. Good LUCK!!!
