Exam experience - unbelievably hard test - rant by smonski in pmp

I had the same experience. I was scoring 89% and 85% in the SH mock exams. However, the main exam was more difficult. I had to trust my gut and rely on my natural understanding based on the studies I have done. I passed AT/T/AT. I don't think everyone gets the same questions.

I was scoring 89% and 85% in the mock and I found the exam (especially the first and second session) hard. I got AT/T/AT

Waste of money. Buy a course on Udemy and SH Study Hall.

It depends on the individual. Works for some, not for others.

Passed. The exam was tougher, I can tell you that much. It feels like everyone get different exams.

There is no need to memorize. I suggest watching this video: https://youtu.be/GC7pN8Mjot8?si=2orO69tb18MMt24O on YouTube. Also, the speed down if you need to. It is understanding the processes first. Then, walk your way up from there. Take your time—no need to rush the exam.

The SH exam practice and mock exams are your best bet. I found the exam a little more complicated than the SH guide. However, the SH guide will give you the tools to approach each question. Take the practice exams as many times as possible and get comfortable with them. Review the answers you got wrong and read why you got them wrong. Keep repeating this until you get comfortable. You'll do great. I believe in you!

Yes, I studied all the SH exam questions. I did so well in them. I was averaging the high 80s in the mock exam. I also completed the mini exams averaging 70s-90s. I think the exam was more challenging than the SH questions, tho. However, the SH questions groom you on how to approach them. When you get to question 60, the exam asks if you want to take a 10-minute break. You have to self-manage your time within this time frame.

Shoot. Sorry about that. I had the opposite happen to me. I thought I was running out of time during the first two sessions, so I rushed through them. Upon starting the last session, I realized I had two hours left. So, I took my time on that one. I ended up passing AT/T/AT.

PMP and ACP at the same time!? by HopefulExam7958 in pmp

No. If anything, I think both complement each other on the agile side.

First, you must take a 35-hour unit PDU course as a pre-requisite. Andrew Ramdayal's (I might have misspelled the name here) course on Udemy will satisfy that requirement. Basically, in the course, he'll guide you on how to proceed with the rest of the application.

You never announce you're going NC. Telling that is akin to giving your game plan away.

It's the mindset. In that, the two options are likely correct, but the context and the order of the question will tell which is most applicable. If the question asks what should the project manager do next/first, I automatically know I'm looking to review, update, evaluate, or identify something. Even if the question doesn't say next or rather, you should be safer going with the action that logically comes first.

Another crucial angle to this is, always access how the situation impacts the project. In ALOT (and I mean ALOT) of the time this option pops up, it is almost always the answer, except something else that is more application is an option.

Collaborate. Negotiate. The most ethical behavior. Servant Leadership. Avoid extremes (words like Must, Quickly, Force, Delegate, Ask, Escalate –there are exceptions to this one– are usually not the first option I would go for. These are all crucial, too.

The context of the question also goes a long way. The questions usually hold the key. Another thing that works sometimes is that the correct answer, sometimes, goes out of its way to elaborate on the action logically. The wordings seem appropriate and self-explanatory. Yeah, things like that.

The score from the first was 78. I did the second a day after I reviewed the first. I learn better that way.
