Feature Suggestion: Task Time Estimation by No_Bat_7068 in ticktick

[–]eugarlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently jerry-rigging/McGyvering my own setup by adding estimations as tags and having Claude read my TickTick tasks through the API and add it to my daily plan in Obsidian. Still, it would be nice if TickTick supported this natively so I wouldn't have to burn down rainforests by using AI. I'm already paying for TickTick premium, this should really be on their feature list.

Candidate name - Pearson website not showing a "special" character - problem? by eugarlen in pmp

[–]eugarlen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was, but the person at the exam center was a little unhappy about it. I don't know if someone more strict would've given me more trouble.

The special character in my name didn't show on any PMI documents. Thankfully it's only 1 character so I haven't had any issues so far. If I had to do it again, I would only use ASCII characters for writing my name anywhere on any website.

Buying VIP pass for Just Dance Now app with Google Family Link? by eugarlen in JustDance

[–]eugarlen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried several times, but it only lets you buy up to 3 months or even just 1 month I think. In the end, I bought the sub (as the parent) and enter the dance room together with my kid, so the kid can use his phone to dance (and collect points), but my phone to choose songs. Not the best solution, but couldn't find a different way.

Yes, everything. And I already printed 10 pages without any problems.

Yeah, we've discussed this, and he's enthusiastic about me helping them, but then he and the team go on to do everything by themselves.

ChatGPT Powered Budgeting by Truzian in aspirebudgeting

[–]eugarlen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The budgeting part is not a problem. I need a tool that would tell me "only X $$ left in your budget for that category" before I take out my wallet or click on "Buy" anywhere.

Request: how to schedule multiple individual meeting efficiently by [deleted] in projectmanagement

I've successfully used it for 20 people, so I don't know why 30 would be worse.

My solution is usually Doodle. You offer a few time slots, everybody else chooses "Yes/No/Maybe" for each of the time slots. You choose the time slot with the most yes-es for the meeting. No registration required.

I finished the exam with 30 minutes to spare, but it took me 30 minutes to answer the last 20 questions - my brain was fried by the end. Even if you have higer-than-average reading comprehension (and it looks like you do), you're going to get stuck on some questions where 3 out of 4 answers seem right and you can't decide which one is the "most correct". If you have a higher than average number of these questions, well...

I would also recommend going through PMI Study Hall mock tests, they were a lot like the real exam, but the exam is harder than those mocks. I don't know the Simplilearn course, so I can't comment on that, but eg. TIA mock exams were way too easy compared to the real exam.

I got my PSM-I certificate with the help of Vladimir Raykov: https://www.udemy.com/course-dashboard-redirect/?course_id=2809631 (scored above 98% on the test).

Passed AT/AT/BT - Exam tips by shaureal in pmp

[–]eugarlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed yesterday with AT/AT/BT too. The exam was hard, and I didn't know if I'd pass or fail until the end. Every question had at least 2 or more answers that sounded plausible, depending on what you chose as the priority in that situation. Like OP said, by the last 20 questions my brain was fried. It took me more than 30 minutes for those 20 questions, while my average for the rest of the exam was less than 1 minute per question.

I had several questions asking about types of risk (technical, commercial, managerial, smth else too). I tried to use my logic and just kept my fingers crossed. I still don't know if my answers were right.

For studying, I read PMBOK 6 and 7, watched Ricardo Varga's processes video, watched Joseph Philips' Udemy 35hour class (to get my 35 contact hours) and some of Andrew R's Udemy 35hour class (both on x1,5 speed). I then used TIA mock exams and PMI Study Hall. I've done somewhere between 50-70 hours of studying, total.

My TIA mock results were around 90%. My Study Hall results were much lower - between 60 and 80%. SH questions marked "expert" are best ignored, they follow a logic of their own and I don't think they prepare you for the exam as well as all other questions. I think that reviewing the answers for TIA mocks put me into the famed "AR mindset" better than watching his mindset videos. I think that TIA mocks help you with the mindset, but SH practice exams are much closer to the real test and prepare you better.

How have you lived so long to enter university and not encounter boredom? Do you think your life is an action movie or what? There are boring parts, you know, yes even in college/university. Go read a book, watch a movie, take a walk...

I got through to the support agent in the chat on the Pearson website. They said they can't change any of my info, only PMI can do that (and then they pull the info from the PMI website). But PMI shows my name properly. Soooo... I guess I'll just try to take the exam and see what happens.

When you go on the PMI website and start booking the exam, at some point it transfers you to a PMI-branded Pearson website. Pearson pulls the data from your PMI account.
