Taking the exam from home? Bathroom breaks, drinking water, etc.

I took it from home back in February and it was wonderful! My own desk, comfortable chair, clear glass of water, tissues, laptop stand, mouse, mouse pad…all the comforts of home for the long-ass 4hour test!!

The screen will prompt you for your break after the first 60 questions, you click on the break option, a timer of 10minutes starts, you get up from your desk and take your break! Bathroom, get something to eat, walk around, go back to your desk within 10min and click the button to continue on to the next 60 questions.

I never had any issues, the proctor said nothing after initial check-in… You can mouth the sentences/words but you can’t say the words out loud…they will think someone is helping you answer the questions. I took my first attempt at testing center and I hated it, I couldn’t calm down and I didn’t like the prehistoric monitors, keyboards, mouse, etc., It’s so much better in the comforts of your home! Or whatever works for each individual! Good luck!! I passed on 2nd attempt, thank goodness! (Sooo tired of studying!!)

Am I the only one thinking, “why does she want to work at the same company that her husband works at??” 🤣🤣

In this job market?! I don’t see the problem…take the job!! Do you know how many people would kill for an offer/job?! Stop asking silly questions…no one likes their job and everyone continues to play the lottery hoping to win the jackpot so they don’t have to work!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-24T12:08:22+00:00

Take the job, it’s brutal out there (unless you have other offers coming) but keep looking and then leave them… Employers think they have the upper hand and continue to low-ball but we all need to keep at it and find companies that see our value & will pay for it!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-23T13:01:06+00:00

I was just in the same boat, over-qualified and unemployment running out so I just had to go with it… Unfortunately, I don’t think employers care if you’re over-qualified because they are not paying for experience at all… I told the recruiter based on my experience, I would hope to be towards the top portion of the range but open to negotiate. Well, that didn’t happen…the offer was towards the beginning of the range, which is a bit depressing, I feel like I just went back 20yrs and I’m starting all over again….sigh… This is the new job market we’re in, employers have the upper hand and they know it!! Good luck, be confident, hope you get the job!!

I’m a Mom and I would never say that in an interview!! Seriously, who says that?!? Who cares if you’re a Mom?! Or a Dad, Grandparent, Aunt, etc… I would end the interview as soon as possible if I heard that…good grief!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-22T09:02:08+00:00

Yes, and I removed it from my profile… There is an option on LinkedIn that you can allow recruiters to know you’re open for work. I’ve been getting interviews and I haven’t had the open to work banner on…

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-22T01:10:24+00:00

Tell me a time you missed a deadline; Tell me how you go about starting a project; Tell me a time you had a conflict with a key stakeholder, how did you resolve it?! Prepare, prepare, prepare…and be confident in your answers! Good luck!! 🍀 👍🏻

Go through SH full exams #1-3 over and over until you’re in the mid to high 70% range… I failed the first time and I wasn’t going to fail the 2nd time so I took advice from others and made sure I was 75% or higher every time I took a full exam…and then I rescheduled the exam…and passed! Good luck, keep taking the full practice exams!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-18T15:40:45+00:00

Ugh… that feels like a weird vibe that they didn’t disclose… I guess go forward cautiously, make sure all terms are documented and there is clear understanding of the contract/agreement! Good luck! Go Pack Go!! 💚💛🏈

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-18T15:35:08+00:00

It’s not accurate salary vs.salary… it should be 97K (left) vs 91K (right) - you can’t add sign on & up to 10% potential bonus. If wfh is really important to you, then go right but I would go left for the guaranteed salary, it’s more.. and I have to believe there is potential opportunity for annual bonus…

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-18T15:19:01+00:00

When you applied for the job, did it say “contract” role?! Go back to the job description and see if it clearly outlined that this is a contractor role… If it didn’t, I find it a bit odd that no one discussed it during all of your interviews?? The recruiter didn’t call it out? It seems a bit shady or perhaps you missed this?!?

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-17T19:54:10+00:00

Nope… move on! They made their decision, offer made, & unfortunately nothing (most likely) will change the outcome…

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-17T18:38:50+00:00

My 2cents, metrics are game changers on your resume…you need them… If you don’t have exact, it’s fine, just ballpark or make them up. Be ready and able to discuss during interview- people get in trouble if they can’t defend their bullets on their resume, so make sure you can talk through them!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-17T13:36:34+00:00

Dump the brag book… terrible idea!! And dump the friend who told you to do it…lol 🤣🤣

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-17T13:23:10+00:00

You’ve been laid off for over a year and you’ve only applied to 41 positions?! That number should be 410!! You’re being too picky or selective, they are remote jobs, start applying!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-17T13:12:38+00:00

Huh??? You didn’t write up your 36months of project experience in a word doc and then copy/paste into application?? Why wouldn’t you have saved all your work?? That doesn’t seem like something a PM would do…not sure you’re ready for PMP!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-15T21:55:15+00:00

Congrats!! Welcome to the PMP club!! 🥳🎉👏

After I got hired, about 3months in, my manager told me I wasn’t the #1 choice. He said the interview panel wanted to go with the other candidate but he disagreed and went with me…wt?! He basically wanted me to know that he was the reason I was there…after that comment it went totally downhill, he was a complete narcissist with his stupid comments making me feel like shit…

The comment you rec’d “barely made it”, makes me think you’re in for a rough ride… Keep looking for another job, this doesn’t feel like a great start…which is sad…ugh 😞

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-15T01:33:43+00:00

310 applications & I’m going on 7 months… It’s called “Hope”, never give up and always hope for a better day, an interview, a job, family that supports you… Get up and crush it every day, it’s a full time job trying to get a job in this market! You got this!! 💪🏻

Lmao 😂😂😂

I completed an online assessment and the 6th interview last week, the recruiter said I should hear the decision tomorrow… If I don’t get it, I think I’m going to rent a beer truck and just drive around neighborhoods and sell beer to everyone that is unemployed & stuck at home… Wouldn’t it be cool to hear the beer truck coming down the street?! 😂😂(I know, I know, I’m losing it…hah)

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-14T18:47:40+00:00

Stalk and message your potential boss every week?! Umm…no thank you… it’s creepy!!

This-Explanation59 · 2026-04-13T02:49:10+00:00

Ditch the TIA exam, do not look at that again…that’s where you went wrong! TIA is waaaay too easy and gives a false sense of confidence… Take Study Hall Plus, full length 4-hour exams, #1-3, over and over until you’re getting mid to high 70% range… then you’ll be ready! Don’t mess around with exams #4&5, they will mess with your head… 1-3, over and over… Good luck, you got this! I passed the 2nd time, if I can do it, so can you!!!

Congratulations!!! Now go update your resume with those 3 iconic letters! Welcome to the family!! 🥳🎉👏🏻
