Passed PMP 1st Attempt 24/12/2013

Just back from test center carrying my "Passed" result. Still numb and don't know how/what to express.
I have prepared roughly 3 months with Rita course book and PMbok 5 only. Rita course book is my main source and only cross over to PMbok5 for the diagram and some processes definitions. My lesson learned to other;

- PMbok 5 is good but NOT a necessary main source.
- Mock test between 60-75% is only what i get before the real exam. Very agree with other that 75-80% is safe zone.
- Kim Heldman test is the toughest test and i think it is not necessary. Far from close.
- PMstudy have the closest test format.
- Calculator is given. (I mean a physical calculator... Dono why my instructor told me only screen calculator provided)
- Test is moderate tricky.
- Not allowed to bring any paper or even tissue. (If you have flu... good luck)
- Two pencil, 3 A3 size paper was given.
- I did brain dump but i think not necessary.

No point to disclose the exact exam format/questions as what other shared here is 80% accurate. Again, i would like to thanks my wife, daughter, family, close friends, colleagues, PMzilla forum's admin, and all other member who share their LL here.

Good Luck to All!!!
