Passed PMP! Milestone achieved!
Just passed my PMP exam yesterday! 🎉 It was a tough ride, with plenty of expert-level questions, but I’m thrilled to share that I got Above Target (AT), AT, and Target (T)!
The exam was tougher than I expected, with most questions being 2 to 3 lines long and requiring quick thinking. For those curious:
- Formula-based questions: 2 EVM problems, 1 critical path, and 1 PERT question.
- Mindset is everything: There’s rarely a “perfect” answer; it’s about choosing the most PMI-aligned one.
- Don’t rely on work experience: PMI wants you to stick to their framework—no brownie points for personal methods!
I scored 77% in practice exams with EXPERT questions while preparing, and I highly recommend Study Hall Essentials—it’s a game-changer! Shoutout to this amazing subreddit for introducing me to the AR Udemy course, David McLachlan’s YouTube videos, u/Third3Rock Notes, and so many other valuable tips. Without this community, I’d have been lost. 🙏
What I gained from this certification isn’t just the credential, it’s the intrinsic motivation that came from putting in the hard work and passing. It’s something you can only feel if you go through the grind. No monetary reward could match it.
So, a heartfelt thank you to everyone here for your support and advice. To those still preparing: trust the process, focus on mindset, and book the exam when you’re ready. You’ve got this! 🚀
