PMP passed first attempt ..thanks to this forum 3/18/13

 Hi all, I passed the exam with 3 Proficient(planning ,executing and M&C) and 2 moderately proficient(initiation and closing). Thanks to this forum for keeping me focused and helped me to fill the gap.

i did not had any specific plan to get the job done. I read PMBOK and Rita's book. As many agreed me to will say Pmbok is the key!

How exam looked to me ??

Exam is not tough but you may find it touch as it have many questions that directly don't relates to any course material. For example if any question is asking for a contract type. Then if question emphasis on performace then we go for incentive type contract .. Etc etc same apply for emv.none of questions will give you ev,pc,ac,bac or eac directly. 

Speed need to be maintened ... You know I scored 70% in pmstudy free exam and that in 2 hrs with multitasking with office work , 75% in Oliver  175 in around 2 hr 30 mins...still I struggled in exam. I finished actual exam in 3:30 mins after reviews ....

Importance of mock ups!!

please try these as it keep you on toe so that we don't get over confidence :). Does these help.. I feel yes as they help the brain to do excercise :). I did pmstudy , Oliver 175 and head first ...all free and scored around 70% and never repeated any mock up as then only it gives the clean picture.

advise to friends who are sailing for pmp.. When ever you have any doubt pls post questions in this forum and expert guys give you many dimension to think of! And it helps . 

Regards and take care! Sandeep
