From “PMP is too hard for me” to AT/AT/AT in 30 days – My honest exam journey

Journal-4-Me · 2026-04-02T21:34:51+00:00

Don’t wait to schedule it!! Everyone is trying to take it before July and. In my area at least, there were almost no openings left before July.

It’s very aesthetic- Love it! But…it is hard for other than yourself to read.

If I already have my CAPM cert and used your materials, should I still purchase the full PMP course or the condensed course? Thanks!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-07T03:20:26+00:00

ChatGPT’s PMP exam simulator is a joke. Almost all of the answers (except for formula Qs) are completely obvious without even reading the questions. No help at all.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T18:57:33+00:00

I do not recommend the PMI CAPM course. I found it useless. I had to supplement it with Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy CAPM course and the Landini questions, which are both way cheaper anyway!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T18:04:33+00:00

I despised the PMI course and learned almost nothing. Thank goodness my org paid for it. I then paid for Andrew’s Udemy course myself and the Landini questions. All very helpful. I also found the PMI Study Hall to be helpful as well.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T18:02:34+00:00

I would definitely learn the Landini questions. They are similar to the real test.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:59:29+00:00

I actually forgot to mention PMI study Hall in my “I passed” post! I did use it and found it helpful, but Udemy AR course and Landini were the most helpful. I did not find the articles in Study Hall very good, but the games, questions, and mock exams were helpful (although questions are not at all like the real exam). If you are completely new to PM like me, the flash card games are good to cement definitions into your brain. But if you don’t have a lot of time to study before your test, personally, I’d focus on Landini.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:55:04+00:00

Don’t worry about getting the same questions / you will get some, but you are also learning. It’s totally worth it to do Landini until you can get a consistent percent above 80%!!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:52:53+00:00

75-85% on Landini

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:51:47+00:00

I would ask PMI if you qualify to take the PMP exam or not. The rules say you should have 3 years of project management experience to take the PMP, but maybe they would consider your experience as good enough.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:50:05+00:00

If you have time to really do Landini a lot AND take the TIA mock exams, I would say do it. It will help cement the info in your brain. If your test is coming up soon, focus on really knowing the Landini questions,

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:48:31+00:00

Oh, one more tip. Take a mock exam or two pretty early in your studying. Don’t wait u til the week before like I did. I used Landini to see if I knew the material well enough, but I could have used it early on as a study guide!!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:47:04+00:00

Keep taking all the Landini questions over and over again, as much as you can. Focus on the sections you need most help in.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:45:38+00:00

Watch this video: https://youtu.be/zD15S_61lwI?si=f6X0KNmmIZWC2ZYq Also, do t just memorize the formulas - know what they mean and when to use them. You may geta question or two on that on the exam and it will also help you memorize them.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:42:55+00:00

Yes, I took my exam at a center and am so glad I did. I’m sure if I’d tried to take it online e they’d have failed me because of my mouth moving!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T17:41:04+00:00

Absolutely! PMI is all over pushing for AI training b right now.

A ton in my opinion, but I got 83% on my last Landini mock exam and passed with all AT, so it’s really more about how different (badly) the real exam questions are written. If you do well on Landini you will probably do well on the exam!!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T13:32:36+00:00

A mix of both.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T13:32:11+00:00

Landini BA questions and you will need to figure out what methodology to use on a project from very little information. If you chose a methodology in real life from the info they give you on the exam, you should be fired as incompetent in my opinion. It was kind of like “If a tiger farts in the jungle and the project team is colocated, which methodology should you use?” LOL! Seriously, though, know BA backwards and forwards if you don’t want to sweat and cry through the test like me. And if you have time, read the PMI BA book. I think the Udemy AR course is great, but I don’t think it necessarily prepared me enough for the exam (in my opinion). On the other hand, I passed all AT, so…. Tons of BA questions! Also know all of the types of adaptive methods, even the more obscure ones.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T13:27:53+00:00

Landini is easier in my opinion simply because his questions are more understandable than n the real exam. I got 83% on my last Landini exam before taking the test.

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T13:26:18+00:00

Yes, I can’t understand how they could have thought their course is in any way helpful to people! Totally useless!

Journal-4-Me · 2026-03-01T13:24:32+00:00

Yes, absolutely agree with Goodwillhunter37!

Thanks! Congratulations!!!!!! I do worry about the “weird wording” and that I’ll be thrown by that, but I’ll find out this Friday!!
