My PMP Preparation was a Project (in last 3 months… but I studied since years):
Project Name: Blue Eye
Mission complete on 18^th July.

Project Theme:

The dream is not that you see in sleep , dream is which does not let you sleep. ~Dr. Abdul Kalam  (Former President of Republic of India)

Experience in Exam:

First 100 questions were more or less PMstudy pattern … Then 50 more biiiiiitttt hard…! And the last 50 questions were just Mexican chilies, I have seen some really difficult English like last 50Q (I’m sure PMI scare me intentionallyJ, US people even never use such word), really complex questions. All indirect questions…all math are complex …atleast you need 5 to calculate one of them.

I have experience something different that wasn’t even before in any practice exam. PMI asked really difficult scenario specially on easy area like organization (weak/strong),,, I’m sure I wrongly tick all 4! They were really hard to understand and confusing…! Even I have seen all hard to understand questions come from easy domain. SPEND MORE TIME in EASY AREA.

I have found 5 ITTO questions and that’s was moderate easy… so no need to memorize ITTO at all. Rather, you can spend more time on TT.

I was relaxed before 24 hours of exam… and it was continue upto exam! I was planned for 50 questions in one hour and did the same! I accelerate in first 100 questions and spend more time in final slab. Mark 10 questions and finally went there and changed 3 of them and I’m sure it was wrong in first time.

And I think, PMI scoring system is much more customer centric compare to PMSTUDY or any other simulator… So go for the exam but prepare really really well.

My Recommendations:

Study one more book along with PMBOOK.
Practice question from PMSTUDY, SCORDO & PMZILLA 200 Only J
Watch recommended video

Make a preparation and sit for exam within 3 months…!!! Im sure you will definitely clear J

All the very best fellow buddies J
