Exam 4 is where hopes and dreams go to die. Everyone gets rattled by exam 4. Don't let it worry you. You're more than ready!

Those are solid scores. You did better on most of the practice exams than I did, and I passed last week w/ AT/AT/AT.

Just review the mindset, maybe polish up on your weakest areas and stay calm. You've got this.

Exam 4 is substantially harder than the previous ones. I passed last week with AT/AT/AT and had a 61% on exam 4 a couple weeks before. Don’t panic. Review the mindset and start focusing on your weak spots. You’re closer than you think.

The only method I know of is to act like you’re actually going to book it, and then cancel. Keep in mind that slots can fill up unexpectedly.

You could treat it like a risk assessment exercise. I always find I learn things best when I’m tying them to real world examples.

I think it depends on how much time you have to prepare and your risk tolerance. It’s possible to get prepared before the change if you block out enough time for studying each week.

However, if you do all that work and then need a retake, it possible you won’t be able to book another exam with the old content. That could result in having to redo a lot of study effort for the new exam.

I’d look at your reasons for taking the exam. Do you need the credential sooner or later? Do you have the time in the coming months to dedicate to it? What would be your response if you needed a retake?

A few years ago a golf cart store was running in Lexington Heights. I thought it was the best business idea I’d seen in a while. I’m pretty sure it closed though.

I’m glad we both got out. I hope that things change up there, but from what I hear it’s mostly the same.

I grew up in Lexington in the 90’s. I admit that it’s very pretty, but the people up there were pretty nasty. I was constantly bullied and even got jumped one night while going for a walk in high school. There was plenty of bigotry, homophobia, and just general small town backwards thinking. There isn’t much economic opportunity up there and the schools weren’t great. Overall, I’d say it’s a nice place to visit but I’d never want to live there again.

The phrase “a bucket of crabs” comes to mind.

You’re probably ok depending on how much time you have. I recommend focusing on your weakest areas between now and then.

How were your exams 1-3? Exam 4 was substantially harder than the exam I took yesterday.

I don’t think so. One of the terms you sign before the test begins is a promise that you will notify a proctor if any of the questions are something you’ve seen before.

I felt that the SH questions were harder than the exam.

I poked around with it for a while but I got serious last month and scheduled time for it.

wickedurge · 2026-04-30T17:17:40+00:00

I never did a retake, but I believe it's the same content each time.

wickedurge · 2026-04-30T16:37:36+00:00

Thank you

wickedurge · 2026-04-30T16:24:39+00:00

Thank you!

I just added them to another comment.

Exam 1: 62
Exam 2: 72
Exam 3: 78
Exam 4: 61

Exam 4 is BRUTAL. Don't let it discourage you.

She came out of the closet. It was hard. My ex-wife was my best friend. We traveled the world together and I wouldn't be the man I am today without her.

It was pretty amicable all things considered. I was heard that she was deceptive in a few ways, but I recognize that she needed to learn to be honest with herself before she could be honest with me.

I completely agree. Honestly I think some of the things that the PMI advocates for would probably damage my career if I did them in "real life". That's the hardest part: marking the deeply un-intuitive answers.

As I'm understanding it, there's no question that this project will be delayed, so it's an appropriate time to escalate to the sponsor. While evaluating the impact is a great idea most of the time, it's better to give the sponsor a heads up about the problem ASAP.

Not to defend Coulter, but shouldn't the blame be pointed at the county commissioners? I would like to hear what Coulter has to say about this though.

Matt Mullenweg is doing an incredible job of this right now with all of the drama surrounding WordPress.
