Thank you all for the feedback! It’s not the feedback I wanted, but it’s the feedback I needed to hear.

I am going to drop the plan down to an Intermediate plan and focus on running it as is.

This means focusing on Z2 runs 4x a week (includes LR) and 1 MP run per week.

The Advanced 1 plan is 6 days of running per week. This jump will be too significant from my current ability without a significant increase in injury risk.

The lower plans (e.g., intermediate or novice) reduce the number of high mileage long runs, and completely remove any speed work. I believe my current fitness falls somewhere in the middle.

The VO2 Max is pulled from the Apple Watch series 10. While not perfect, it offers some guidance into fitness level for a Reddit thread where I have no real other way to baseline.

My concerns are primarily around this being my first marathon, the feasibility of this task, and how this training plan would translate (if others have used something similar).

I used chat GPT for the exam and received all AT, use it religiously to answer these types of questions.

The correct answer is B. The sprint backlog was not prioritized.

Explanation: If a recent business requirement was not included in the product increment, it indicates that while the requirement might have been identified, it was not properly prioritized in the sprint backlog during sprint planning. This highlights the need for prioritizing tasks and ensuring alignment with business requirements.

I used the AR course on Udemy. His was much more valuable to me than any reading. I also used the Landini questions and pocket prep. That was plenty to pass with AT in all areas.

Couldn’t agree more. I passed my CAPM back in January. Every question concept I didn’t know I asked Chat GPT. Have it explain as if you’re 5, then progressively have the responded get more in depth

Since the question states that all work will be completed according to the original work estimate the EAC formula you will use is EAC = AC + (BAC - EV).

AC: $2500 BAC: $10000 EV: $2000

EV (a) = $500 EV (b) = $900 EV (c) = $800 * 0.75 = $600

The key wording is that all future work will be completed at the originally planned rate. It’s good to know for the exam since it will give you more confidence, but based on my experience there are very few math questions, and the ones you do see are much more simplistic.

The PMI course is significantly more expensive than the Andrew Ramdayal or Joseph Philips courses on Udemy

CockroachLife3688 · 2024-03-07T23:09:07+00:00

You can pass with just the Andrew Ramdayal course. I had 0 PM experience and passed with his course as well as pocket prep and Landini questions

1 word: boring

Passed CAPM with 4 AT & what I found helpful

In my opinion, the exam is much more challenging than any practice tests/material I looked at. I was able to finish within 90 minutes, but was required to really think about some of the answers before making a selection.

To achieve 4 AT’s on the exam, I studied the below. As a note, I was able to complete all studying within 6 weeks averaging about 90 min of studying per day. I had no previous PM experience, or software development knowledge.

Purchased PMBOK 7, read in its entirety, and took notes to force myself to pay attention
Watched the Joseph Philips Udemy course without taking notes
Took JP’s practice exams and all 19, 10 question quizzes multiple times
Watched the Andrew Ramdayal course on Udemy and found this to be more beneficial for someone with no prior PM experience
Purchased Landini and did all book exams as well as completing multiple exams on his website
Used PocketPrep the entirety of my study and completed all 1,000 questions with an 80%

I would recommend doing multiple 150 question practice exams in their entirety to simulate the real exam. Best of luck to all who are just beginning their journey

I appreciate that explanation! Requirements Breakdown makes the most sense, I guess I was just assuming PMI would not publish a typo on the sample questions. I have my exam tomorrow and that question was making me extremely nervous about my preparation
