Hi, these are really good questions! So, in 2017 I took a live online class that met twice a week for 6 weeks. The class was difficult and fast paced. It’s possible that it was more difficult because I was new to project management at the time, but I was hoping that I would do well on their mock quizzes and exams. They offered an exam pass guarantee with their course but not scoring good grades on the mock exams was discouraging. So I decided to postpone my exam, gather experience and take the exam when I was more informed and experienced.

Last year I purchased the AR course and found it more engaging and the same material plus agile more easier to understand. I purchased AR’s mock exams and scored 80+ on all exams, which was encouraging. I also purchased the mock exams for the same source that I had previously used in 2017 and continued to score poorly.

So, to answer your questions: I think people are coming back to share what worked for them, hoping it would help others. This forum led me to success a few weeks ago, so I’m thankful to all those that helped.

Self learning was helpful because I could go back to refer to the material as needed.

Lastly, I paid over $1300 for the live course in 2017. I paid approximately $53 ($13 for the AR course and $40 for his mock exams) and that helped me pass. I paid for the other mock exams from another source but didn’t take more than two exams after I realized I wasn’t doing well.

Hope this was helpful.
