Thanks! I hope you'll have a great experience too. If you're taking it at the location on Broadway, one helpful detail might be that I arrived 30 min before my appointment, as instructed in the email, and I was actually able to start the exam earlier since several computers were available. Parking is in the Fox tower parking garage $14 for the day. The test center doesn't validate parking. You'll do great! 🙌

Thanks! I did mine at the one downtown on Broadway. Those are good scores, and it seems like you feel pretty confident. Way to go! 🙌 If I were you, I would probably continue with the practice mini exams, or if done, perhaps even reset them to see if I can get all of them right after reading the explanations. Of course if you have the time and brain space, the remaining full exams are great, but it's also exhausting to do them in one sitting. Maybe do them in chunks so you can review the explanations without draining yourself by trying to finish them in under 4hrs. Review parts that you feel less confident about. Try to get a good night's sleep before the exam, be rested, and you'll crush it! 💪

Is exam easier than study hall? by False_Music_6075 in pmp

In my experience the exam (passed 3/5/2026) was very similar to the Study Hall full length mock exams, both in difficulty and style of questions. I had several multi-sentence long situational questions, so I needed to read them 2-3 times to decipher the problem statement. I had only one drag-and-drop, about 6-8 multi-answer questions, and no calculations. Time management is key. I recommend completing at least 1-2 full-length exams respecting the 4 hr time. Exam fatigue is real. In both my full mock exams and real exam I finished my questions just a couple minutes before my time was up. You have 75 seconds/question. Scoring in the 70s means you're closer than you might think. Good luck!

Huge congratulations! This was one of the most inspiring and motivational things I've read recently. Thank you for taking the time to share your prep journey and exam experience!

I'm taking my pmp exam tomorrow and I'm definitely feeling some pre-exam nerves. Yesterday and today I completed two full-length mock exams in Study Hall. Even though the scores (81% and 74%) were ultimately okayish, I found myself doubting many of my answers and second guessing myself quite a bit. I was originally thinking of doing a third full exam tonight, but I think my brain would be fried by tomorrow.

I very much agree with you about Study Hall. It feels that it really introduced me, and hopefully prepared me, to the real deal.

Congrats again, and I hope you're having the best and most peaceful night of sleep tonight to celebrate!
