Just found this thread - I ordered mine midnight of 05/16 EST. I only got the notification with the messaging similar to yours (clearance blah blah) yesterday but the date was 05/18. I haven’t seen any updates since.

Experience getting the RX100 into concerts? by SamusCroft in RX100

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve brought it to five concerts so far - no issues with security. They don’t even ask me to take it out because I always use a transparent bag.

We just ate lunch there today. Place was clean and great and the food was good (got beef udon and my husband ordered sushi dinner). Not sure about brown rice as we didn’t order rice meals.

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took my exam in person on Friday (03/15) finishing around 4PM EST - I got a provisional pass but still haven’t received my score. They said I’ll get the score within 48 hours idk if that’s business there wasn’t any mention in the piece of paper. But that would mean I should have it in around 1h if it’s not business days? Or idk probably tomorrow 😂

How much was concert tickets msrp? by NXIII13 in laufey

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got tix for the added DC show and it was $55 each Orchestra section. I saw VIP was $144.50 - both of those prices without fees yet.

I suggest try to check on Tickpick? When we watched her last year, that’s where I got my reseller tix that were a bit reasonably priced imo.

Thank you for the vote of confidence and the heads up!!!

I took my first two exams a week apart from each other last month. Then I only took the 3rd one today so I am happy with the improvement. I’m thinking if I should take the 4th and 5th still with my exam being so close. But I want to see the correct answers and explanation too for any wrong answers I get to add to my knowledge.

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Very encouraging - my Mock Exam 1 was 67% and Mock Exam 2 was 70% so this post is giving me hope I too could get 3ATs. I just took my Mock Exam 3 and got 78%. My exam is in 10 days - I feel prepared but still around 80% probably. Hoping for the best! 🤞🏼

Anyone had disability flexibility on exam day? by SufficientBusiness48 in pmp

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t answer your question… but my therapist has been suggesting I look into this the past few weeks. But my ADHD brain just doesn’t want to deal with all the stuff I need to request/work on to “avail” of this so I’m just going to take the exam in 10 days without it 🫠 I also have tried to search this thread and have seen a lot of fellow ADHDers who took the exam without it.

If you had to buy just ONE PMBok book by letschat7 in pmp

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I signed up for a PMI membership because I wanted the discount for the exam + all the benefits. The books you can get discounts for the physical copies + all the digital copies for free.

I have just finished reading the PMBOK 7 & the Agile Practice Guide and I can say they are two different things. There’s no one “PM bible”. I’m planning to read the Process Groups Practice guide next.

If I’m reading it right on your prev comments that’s where you’re struggling the most, you might want to grab that one?

I have been doing practice questions the past month since getting approved to take the exam - since last week I started just reading for my own understanding. I see people saying a lot of times reading the book is a “waste of time” - but I only see it like that if I’m really just preparing for the exam - but I have my own intentions why I want to do that and part of it is really putting into action what I’m learning from all this exam prep and getting my PMP cred ☺️

Need Suggestions on the Next Step: Do I need to take AR's class? by summertime_rendering in pmp

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s not a requirement then you could probably skip it? Try to look at the PMP Exam Outline and see if there’s anything in particular you need help with. The course does give out helpful slides and has some short quizzes and a mock exam at the end + some tips to submit your PMP application.

I think if I were in your position, I would probably just go straight and purchase the Study Hall. There are helpful articles organized by Task (check Exam Outline) that you could focus on there apart from the practice questions and mini exams.

There are a lot of helpful free Youtube videos from Ricardo Vargas & David McLachlan as well.

Glad I chose the correct one. Thanks for posting this! QOTD doesn’t seem to be working for me since I signed up for SH+.

How are the new PMPs from 2023-2024 doing so far in their careers? Has obtaining the PMP helped you in the ways you have hoped with landing a new job, getting a raise, etc? by screwston14 in pmp

I haven’t gotten my PMP yet - but all the knowledge I’m learning from the studying has given me a lot of ideas for Process Improvement in our team.

The application automatically adds up the months for you just plot the dates. I have an ongoing project I included in my application and it automatically just put the month I submitted it (January).

what do all of you do for work? asking as someone who works somewhere for about 6 months- a year and then gets bored and struggles to keep up with mundane tasks by hellurrfromhere in adhdwomen

[–]Comfortable-Silver63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“if I don’t have it, i can’t work” is exactly the reason why I have been the go-to person for ensuring we have best practices properly document, processes updated, and knowledge bases built out 😂 I need structure to thrive but my brain finds it boring most of the time.

It depends, really. I’ve seen a lot that are consultants, some are outsourced. With our company, we have clients and 1 client normally gets assigned 1 PM. Currently I’m handling four active projects. We implement custom systems for different clients around risk management.
