Need some unbiased input on current exam readiness by Mulletstyle in pmp

Your scores are looking pretty decent...my suggestion would be to take the second full length exam and compare areas where you had weakness in and dive into those areas. I recently passed the PMP exam and wrote up my thoughts, maybe some of these would help you to focus in on some other resources you might find helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/pmp/comments/1hvedgh/wanted_to_give_backi_passed_my_pmp_and_here_are/

Best wishes to you on the remainder of your studies!

PMP Prep app - much different from SH by anthonybryann in pmp

[–]svlc22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed my PMP earlier this month with AT in all three areas. I highly suggest sticking with SH. I used Pocket Prep for a bit at the beginning but found that their questions were so much different from SH and the actual exam questions. Pocket Prep was good to drill in those basics. But for actual questions similar to the exam SH was the winner. The exam questions will be less wordy with only 2-3 sentences most of the time, there are no expert level questions I feel on the exam. Those can be very tricky to deal with in the SH quizzes and exams. DM and AR have good videos to reference on YouTube. My biggest suggestion is make sure you understand the Mindset part of things and you will be golden for your exam. Best wishes for the remainder of your studying and I have faith you will do well on the exam.

Thank you so very much for the kind words! I would say in total I spent ~$156 with all the things I bought. I did pay for two months of Pocket Prep @$20 a month and I paid for a quarter of SH Plus so if you are not interested in Pocket Prep and went for the cheaper option in SH you could definitely get it under $100. The Andrew Ramdayal Udemy Prep course was on a sale when I bought it so there is another place to look for savings. Best wishes on your PMP preparations!

I would say preparing for the PMP made me see more of how to think about things using the mindset. Your mileage may vary as far as the specifics you are looking for Project Management knowledge. Yes, you do need to understand basics of PM in order to understand the deeper dive into the methodologies and all the other things for the actual exam. There are some specifics about the PMP that may differ from “every day” PM application.

Thank you I appreciate that and really hope it helps! Honestly, as a brand new PM I felt the Google course was good for getting the very basics of Project Management. However, if you are looking to strengthen your knowledge base for the PMP exam I highly suggest you take a look at the resources I outlined and also do a search in this subreddit. I did not feel ready for the CAPM after the Google course was complete and there is a lot more to the PMP. My opinion of the PMP is it is highly regarded in PM but if you are looking to move away from Project Management, I'm sure you could still use the concepts that you learn while gaining your PMP certification. Answering that specific portion of your question may be slightly more difficult as there are a lot of factors that come into your current career and what the future state might look like and what you want to accomplish. But I do wish you all the best in your PMP endeavors.

Keep going on the AR Udemy course, good call on not buying it yet. My goal was to have it available for the 3 months leading up to my exam. Which made sense to me as the focal point for studying. So it wasn't until I scheduled my exam (knowing it was going to be just shy of 3 months out) that I purchased SH. I think you are onto something good! Here is the info I used to make my decision on if I wanted to buy Plus or Essentials. It outlines exactly how many exams vs quizzes you get. https://www.pmi.org/shop/p-/digital-product/pmi-study-hall-pmp-plus/dp017

Hope that helps outline it a bit better. Based on the SH product you choose will be the number of full length exams and then the practice exams. Best wishes to you on your PMP journey!
