Passed PMP exam today on first attempt

 Dear friends,

I passed the PMP exam today with proficiency as below.I has been following this forum for the last 2-3 months and felt it was very useful for the journey all along. I felt the exam was really tough as compared to the mock exams that i attended(paid & unpaid) and even could not compare them.The type of questions(situational) that i encountered in the real exam was like i saw them for the first time.The questions were not that much lengthy,but u cant able to pick one from the most probable two correct answers,after eliminating the other two.If u cant pick one,then u will read the question again and again to get a more clear picture and the time will run out.I took almost 4 hours to complete the exam for that reason only and nothing related to the length of the questions as compared to those ones in my mock exams.Most of the situational questions are related to 'changes' to scope,time & cost and ends up with 'What u will do next? or what u will do first?. In my opinion never expect the pattern of questions same as any of ur mock exams.I will post my experiences in detail at a later stage.

Initiating- MP

Planning-P

Executing-MP(wish could have got 'P' as max.questions come from this domain,around 60.It is revealed in mock exams also my weak area is execution)

Monitor & controlling-P

Closing-MP
