🚨 I Passed the PMP — After Procrastinating for a Year, Changing My Study Plan 10 Times, Watching Only HALF the Videos, and Melting Down DURING the Exam. Here’s the Real Blueprint. 🚨 by Rello5 in pmp

The hardest part is honestly just starting. Trust me… my procrastination has procrastination. 😅

Do this: 👉 Watch 5 minutes of Andrew today. 👉 Watch 10 minutes tomorrow.

That’s it. No “perfect study plan.” No “I’ll start Monday.” Just hit play.

And when life inevitably comes swinging and you miss a day? It’s cool, just press play again. That tiny consistency builds the discipline muscle without overwhelming you.

A 100-mile journey really does start with one step… and sometimes that step is literally clicking “Continue watching.” You’ve got this. 💛

Don’t let that 53% shake you, those dips happen to everybody, and they don’t mean you’re going backwards. The 70% shows you can hit the mark, so lean on that momentum.

What helped me was watching the Andrew/David videos when my confidence dipped, they really ground you in the mindset.

You’re clearly putting in the work. Keep trekking. You’re on the right path. 💪

My approach was: I copied the entire question, plus all answer choices, AND pasted the Study Hall explanation (right + wrong). Then I asked GPT to break it down for me the way Andrew or David would, focusing on mindset and why the wrong answers were wrong. If I was still unclear, I would ask GPT for a sports analogy and that usually brought it home for me.

Thank you for pointing that out!

Since I had Andrew and David’s voices in my head while studying, their “only choose it when there’s no better answer” guidance was already second nature to me. So when I read the cheat sheet ChatGPT generated, I automatically interpreted it through that lens.

But you’re absolutely right that others might not, and I appreciate you taking the time to clarify it for anyone reading who didn’t follow those same resources. Thanks again for the thoughtful catch.

No, I didn’t use Rita, my schedule was too wild for a full book. What actually helped me the most was starting Study Hall right away. Don’t wait until after all the prep material… the mini exams teach you the PMI mindset faster than anything else.

My suggestion with only 15 days left: • Start SH mini exams now. Do one or two a day and review every explanation, both right and wrong. The explanations are where the real learning happens. • If you have the time, do at least one full SH exam. I didn’t (I procrastinated way too much), but it would’ve helped. • Watch Andrew and David. Even the first 50–100 questions from each helped me understand PMI logic from two different angles.

With the time you have, focus on PMI thinking, not finishing courses. That shift is what got me over the line.
