All,

 I am a silent observer of this forum for the last 2 months. Today I gave my PMP exam and cleared it witrh 2 P and 3 MP. The LL shared by other PMP's were very valuable to me and so I wanted to give it back.

2P and 3MP.

Preparation Time: 8 weeks, I became a PMI member last sep, but got busy with work till June. I received an membership expire email which triggered me. I went through PMBOK once and Rita's once before I booked my slot.

Exams: Oliver Lehmann 175 Q

PMPerfect (membership, all exams)all exams were around 85%

PMStudy (free exam) scored 82%, close to the real exam.

Headfirst PMP

My exam was at 1PM at prometric, reached there by 12:30, started the exam at 1PM after the formalities.

The questions were not overly complex. I would recommend reading each line of PMBOk atleast thrice and no other book is  really required. Some 10-12 questions are straight ITTO's and most of them are PMBOK concept application questions. Dont get bogged down by some 5% questions which will take you by surprise. 

I went through all the 200 questions in around 2:15 and marked questions for review even if I had a minor doubt. I marked around 65-70 questions and revisited them again. I unmarked questions which I was confident and went through the marked questions and spent time on them in the 3rd pass.  By this time I had only 5 mins left and clicked end exam, went through the survey questions and was thrilled to see the Pass appear on screen.
