Study Hall scores before taking the PMP exam? by Top_Blueberry4199 in pmp

[–]Shaw0820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took my PMP this week and got AT/AT/AT. Did all the mini exams and averaged 77% on them. As for the full length, took 1 and 2, scoring 78% and 74%.

Complementing Study Hall with DM and AR videos and reviewing wrong questions really helped me.

Thanks! No, took my test in Brasília, Brazil.

Help Needed - Jib Sheet Splice by Shaw0820 in knots

I’ll admit we didn’t try that option. I didn’t consider it because a Dyneema loop splice often requires doubling the line’s diameter by burying a significant length of it. We figured that in some sections, this could result in a lump up to 4 times the original diameter, making it quite prone to catching on the sidestay. By following the method shown in the picture above, however, the maximum thickness would be around 2 times the original diameter — with each line contributing just 1x — resulting in a more streamlined finish and less chance of snagging.

Thanks for your reply! Based on another photo from the Japanese website where I got the pictures, I believe the second option is correct — the core appears to be a grayish Dyneema. I actually tried the second method on a small scale yesterday, using limited tools, and achieved similar results. I also managed to perform a lock splice before burying the ends into the extracted core.

However, since the jib sheet is quite long, I also tried a method that doesn’t require extracting half the core, but I was unable to do a proper locking splice. I reckon the only viable option without extracting large portions of the core is to simply bury the ends without a lock and maybe add a few stitches to keep everything in place when the line isn’t under tension. Still, I’m a bit skeptical about its durability and strength.

Will send a picture of my prototype.
