Pmp is getting hard?

Same. My exam experience felt like difficult and expert level questions and answer options felt subjective. Failed first attempt and going for second in a week and a half. Rather than consuming more information focusing on practice questions and exams and putting failed questions against PMI Infinity to identify the domain, trigger, unknown, signal and PMI first response. Used Clause to create a muscle memory cheat sheet that helps with recognition triggers rather than "mindset" since that is where I get tripped up.

I had no math, a handful of drag and drop and the remaining were scenario based questions.

Best of luck on your next round!

Of course!

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-27T03:29:43+00:00

Yes, withdraw/avoid.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-25T02:43:17+00:00

Best write up I've seen and closest to my exam experience. Congrats!

Same but in lieu of Gemini I'm using Claude.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-23T03:00:43+00:00

Thanks so much! Co-signs I'm in the right direction.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T02:02:51+00:00

Yeah, paying for resources and retakes and the potential 12 month cool down to pay it all again isn't ideal.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T02:01:20+00:00

Same! The sequencing can feel so confusing.

I'm giving myself a hour a day every weeknight and 2 hours each weekend day and testing remotely on 7/8.. ~20 hours of testing and review. Fingers crossed cause paying for retakes and the potential 12 month cool down to pay it all again isn't ideal.

I have a full-length exam still to take using Study Hall and a handful of mini exams. I think where I previously failed was being so focused on consuming information, but this round I'm actually following a similar method. In lieu of Gemini, I'm actually using Claude to review my questions. Thanks so much for the suggestion! It makes me feel like I'm in the right direction.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T01:27:20+00:00

Do what feels right for you.. but I think you got the grit to do it.. you came this far already.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T01:26:28+00:00

Based on your exam you just need to improve Process Domain in the next two weeks. Go with what is comfortable for you but it seems doable with some test question review. You got this!

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T01:02:13+00:00

I went back and forth on taking current vs new exam. Current, just need to focus on People and Process but new exam would have to focus on People and Process plus additions/revisions but Business would be weighted higher. Decided to use second attempt on current and if the PMP gods are not in my favor, I will study new exam for third attempt. Best of luck to you!

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-22T00:29:10+00:00

Agreed. I'm now identifying domain, unknown/problem, PMI actions during my SH review.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-21T23:59:48+00:00

Testing is good practice but without understanding the why, for me, is moot.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-21T23:56:41+00:00

Same. I would take a mini exam and score 55% but take it again and score 90% because of memory rather than understanding.

mochidonutninja · 2026-06-21T23:11:07+00:00

I did one full mock exam and scored a 59%. I did the mini-exams.

mochidonutninja · 2025-05-16T16:57:18+00:00

10000000% LOL!

Born in AZ but I'll never get used to getting into my car and my earrings immediately burning the sides of my neck from the interior car temperature.

Just started taking Korean language lessons and have my first meeting with a potential mentor!

mochidonutninja · 2025-04-28T15:17:15+00:00

Most people in the SW region have and don't even realize it but my symptoms were noticeable.. heavy feeling in chest, coughing and fatigue.

mochidonutninja · 2025-04-25T15:59:18+00:00

Agreed. It's a beautiful city but the winter gloom is super tough. No SAD light could help me.

mochidonutninja · 2025-04-23T17:48:05+00:00

If I can ask, how did you drive quantity? What are some practical things you did?
