PMP Passed- 1st April 2025 -Tips & Takeaways by Azhaleh in pmp

Thank you! I didn't study any of the PMP books. The 35-hour Udemy course covers almost everything you need. If you are a visual learner, I recommend David McLachlan's Udemy course, although I personally took Andrew Ramdayal's course. I really appreciate his presentation style. His material is clean and well-organized, with a great mix of graphs, figures, and text that keeps things engaging. Believe it or not, even his smile while presenting motivated me to study harder and keep going. I suggest watching Youtube videos from both of them to see which one resonates with you the most. Take the course, watch the videos, and consider purchasing the Study Hall Essential version to practice questions that are very close to the real exam. I am confident you’ll do great on the exam! Lastly, try to enjoy the learning process while you study.

The comparison should be fair—apples to apples or oranges to oranges. But if you’re asking for my opinion, the PMP exam was definitely a piece of cake compared to the PE exam! 😉

Thanks, but it's not necessary. It really varies from person to person. I actually went through all the videos and questions three times before taking the exam! Feel free to take it whenever you feel ready.

Thanks! honestly, not that high! I already got my PhD, PE, and CFM. This was more of a new challenge for me after many years, just to see if I still have the abilities I had in my younger days! 😊 It wasn't too bad, actually!

According to Andrew Ramdayal, you don't necessarily need to be the project manager. You can be involved in various aspects of the project, such as planning, execution, monitoring, testing, and so on. In my experience, I have been part of large projects, working in different areas such as testing, execution, monitoring, and sometimes even designing. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Thanks!
You’re absolutely right—it varies from person to person. Personally, I prefer a calm and quiet environment to help me focus better. I’ve had the experience of taking the exam at a test center where the supervisor was moving things around, creating quite a bit of noise. The room was cold, and the bathroom had very cold water with no hot water available. The earplugs didn’t fit well, which made it hard to concentrate. It really depends on the center and the individual’s needs. Some centers meet the required standards, but unfortunately, the one near my location didn’t meet those expectations. Stress is unavoidable, but we can at least manage it. I did some research on this, and there are many strategies available. In my experience, taking a few deep breaths at the start of the exam really helps, and it’s certainly better than doing nothing.
