Hi All,

Today I attempted the PMP certification for first time and Passed.

I scored 2 MP, 2P, 1BP. I sincerely thank everyone in the forum for their support.

With regard to my preparation I was not really confident until last week since I scored very poor in the practice exams. My practice scores are

pmperfect - 55-70 ( i paid money unnecessarily to this site and later realized that all the questions are available in pmi.org - scordio)

pmsure - 60 out of 100 (free Q) - this really made me go down.

pmzilla tough 30 q's - 11 (40%)

pmstudy - 70% (Free)

Oliver Lehman - 110/175 62% (free questions)

2 month serious preparation out of which 1 month was little serious.

Last one week I concentrated more on the weak areas by reviewing all the wrong and right answers.Read PMBOK thrice. Rajesh Nair Abhi notes was very much helpful to re-collect all the things that was studied in PMP.

Now with regard to exam, it was really very tough due to two factors. 

1. When I completed the last question I had only 2.5 minutes left.

2. I was not able concentrate on Lengthy question due to time constraint. I could see lot of lengthy questions.

All 4 hours I did not even step out for water or restroom. But now I think in case I would have been, i might have missed the success. 

Initially i was under the impression that there is hype about this exam on its complexity. But now I could say it is true for some people and I fall in those tough group.

After I completed my exam all i saw was the score in a few minutes and there was no time to review even a single question.

I wa able to perform well in EV questions and that definitely contributed to success.

At this time, I sincerely thank my wife and kid for their support. I wish very good luck to all those who are preparing for this exam. Thanks to the Admin for this wonderful site.

In PMI terminology pmzilla will be a mandatory dependency for pmp aspirants.

Once again wish you all good luck in all your ventures.
