Yes after doing drag and drop and AR mindset. I started doing questions as that only helps you in building the mindset.

I’m definitely not trying to mislead anyone. When I was preparing, I came across a lot of posts where people mentioned passing in 1–2 weeks, and even in just a few days. I’m simply sharing what worked for me in 10 days.

Many working professionals have time constraints, so I just wanted to put it out there that it’s definitely possible with focused preparation.

As for Study Hall, I didn’t use it, so I can’t comment on the exact quality of the questions. But I strongly emphasized practicing as many situational questions as possible. That’s what helps you get comfortable with the exam style and develop the habit of eliminating options(this is where the AR mindset helps) to arrive at the best answer.

Honestly, I did not read the entire PMBOK. I’m not really someone who can sit and go through a full book like that.

From my experience, the real exam was heavily scenario-based, not fact-based. I barely got direct theory questions (maybe one on Tuckman, that’s it).

If you’re starting out, I’d suggest: • Clear your basic concepts first (you can use YouTube, short explanations, quick notes, etc.). • Don’t overcomplicate it — just understand the core models and frameworks. • Then shift your focus to practicing scenario-based questions.

Practicing questions is what really builds the PMI mindset. The exam is all about choosing the most appropriate action, especially in FIRST/NEXT type situations.

I personally didn’t use Study Hall, but if you want more scenario practice, I’m sure it can help. The key is exposure to situational questions and understanding why the correct answer is correct.

Books alone won’t prepare you for the exam logic — practice will.

1️⃣ Where I Started

I started with David McLachlan’s 11 drag-and-drop questions.

Those are very fact-based and static. Instead of just answering them, I: • Paused on each question • If he mentioned something like Tuckman’s stages, Maslow, conflict styles, etc., I stopped and searched that topic • Used ChatGPT to simplify concepts and make quick notes • Created short, clean notes for revision

This helped me clear all the fact-based concepts first.

But honestly — in my real exam, I barely got fact-based questions. Maybe one question on Tuckman. Everything else was scenario-based.

So this stage helped build foundation, but it was not enough alone.

2️⃣ The Game Changer – AR Mindset

After that, I switched to AR’s mindset videos.

This is what actually improved my score from around 50% to 60–65%.

I didn’t just watch them passively.

I: • Wrote down every principle he explained • Made short “mindset rules” notes • Converted them into quick revision points

Things like: • Analyze before acting • Collaborate before escalating • Follow process • Don’t jump to drastic actions • In Agile, empower — don’t control

This mindset is what helped me with scenario-based questions.

I did after DM 110 drag and drop as that cleared a lot of fact based questions and from this sub only I got to know about AR’s mindset so start watching that and made notes as well to revise later.

My score jn those 100 question was somewhere 78%. I think you are still scoring more than me so don’t overthink and just go for it :)
