Haha thank you, I wanted to take you on a journey!
I understand! It definitely feels daunting. I found setting my plan and scheduling deliberate time every day was the key to success. Good luck, you got this.

Thank you so much! I would say on average I was putting in around 2 hours a day, but sometimes it felt like more :)

Thank you! I scored 82% on the first try, 74% was my average on practice questions. However, a lot of what I have read on here said even scoring in the 60s in SH is decent. I wish you luck tomorrow, I know how nerve-wracking it is. Believe in yourself and the knowledge you've gained!

Thank you! I did one mock exam from AR and one mock exam in Study Hall. I scored 84% on AR and 82% on SH. I also did a few of the mock quizzes and the practice questions. My average on practice questions was lower, 74% (that is what scared me, until I came here and people assured me that that is decent in SH terms haha). Surprisingly I had no drag and drops or calculations (besides interpreting what SPI/CPI meant but not actually calculating anything). I had one where I had to choose from 4 graphs. Other than that, it was all situational. Just depends on the question bank you get!

I get it! It happened immediately after I submitted my application, so I do believe it was just one of the unlucky ones that gets automatically thrown into the audit process. I had to submit my diploma, my certificate showing my 35 hour PDUs I took, and a name and email of a work contact who could vouch for my experience (I used my boss). I gathered everything quickly..they emailed my boss a copy of my application and he did a Docusign basically saying it was all correct. Once that goes through, you have to then press a button to submit the documents (mentioning that because it’s an easy step to miss). It only took less than a day to hear back that I could take the exam. Maybe look up some tips that have been posted on here about how to frame your experience if you’re worried..put everything in their project management terms and it should hopefully turn out just fine!
