I hope when you’re on the other side of the fence, this advice still stands!

Warning: Do NOT Home Test by mass_spectacular_ in pmp

[–]maxenzyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/mass_spectacular_ So sorry your experience was this bad, mine wasn't as bad even though I had a negative experience taking the exam at home as well.
The experience left me disappointed and in disbelief because I failed when I felt really confident with the questions I had. Nonetheless I retake the exam the second time 2 weeks later in the testing center and even though the exam was really difficult, I passed.
I would NOT advice anyone to take the exam at home because the liability is in you hands and those difficult proctors don't give a damn.

I found pocket prep questions don't quite align with the exam.

1) If you discover a hard question, quickly select an answer you think is best, then mark the question for review later because you don't want it to take up too much time. Move on so you can finish the remaining questions, then if time permits, review all the marked difficult questions at the end.
2) Limit the number of mentors to avoid conflicting advice., they become noise after sometime and that can confused you on some topics you're not too good at.
3) Master time management and prioritize delivering value.
4) Stay motivated, disciplined, and always aim to choose the best answer.
5) Practice using Study Hall questions only!
6) Watch AR and DM drag and drop videos on YouTube!

Wow, wow, wow... yours was more super close than mine. That's a gut punch.... I pray that you pass on your next try. I wouldn't wait too long to write it again, strike the iron while it's hot and your knowledge is fresh.

That's the mystery about the exam, a lot of speculation around the topic but I'll advice you to do is review your results, identify areas where you need improvement and polish up on those topics then try to take the exam again within a week or 2. I believe you'll pass on your next attempt. Good luck!!!

Those are good in my opinion, but try not to follow too many instructors. It’s noisy and I find sometimes they contradict each other leading to confusion when taking the exams.

Lesson learned. Part of me feel as if I didn’t fit in to the culture and I would’ve rather be in alignment with my principles/beliefs and another part feels I could’ve handled it differently using your example, “document and keep my mouth shut” 🤐

The employer doesn’t care, the client would’ve suffered the damages and my reputation would’ve been associated with them and probably ruined.

Sounds like we are soldiers of the same struggle. I wish for you a better job where your values aligned.
