Anyone interested in team up during praperation?

Submitted by Ililacu on Mon, 04/20/2015 - 14:00

Hey guys, I have emailed everyone who left a correct email address before EOD 04/24. I will not come back and check this posting again. If you are interested in joining, please email me at focusingpmp@gmail.com, and I will include you in the group.


 


Hello,


I'm currently preparing for my PMP exam (planning to take it sometimie in July). Now I am watching the course vedios on LearnSmart (got from groupon) and reading PMBok. Still in the very early stage of preparation.


I wonder if anyone is interested in team up during preparation? We can share our individual notes, discuss questions, and encourage each other so that we don't lose track! I am a dedicated learner however. just like an average person, sometimes gets lazy and get into my comfort zone... However I do not plan to take this damn exam's twice!


Please respond with your email if you are interested, I will start an email group, and we can find an app that we keep in touch with radomly. Let's pass it in July together!

Are you or anyone else using Brainbok for the preparation? It is helping me to focus on the key terms in each Knowledge area, one at a time.

Hi Sabrina, I will start from email group, with a chart of everyone's name, location, contact, and expected date for exam. Looks like some people are in India, and some people are targeting May exam, we can take a look and maybe have sub-groups with different targeting time for exam or time zone.

Hi Dears;

 

     I took the exam from couple of days ago, and I really shocked and I'm never thought that the exam will be very difficult as I encountered with.

 

     Approximately The first 50 questions all are situational with 3 or 4 lines of paragraph and it was very difficult because they start using a new technique of wording I didn't see before although I was trained on rita fast track v8 about 1600 questions. which this point went by me to be very mad because I have been spent about 90 minutes on the first 50 questions which made me very stressed and out of control

 

    the second strange issue the schedule network diagram questions were drawn by very strange way I believe they made this to confuse the candidate to waste more time and they provide diagrams by more than critical path which make the answer take more seconds to be correctly selected

 

   the third strange thing they come by questions on EV, and ETC and TCPI with very strange workarounds stories, which if you just memorized the formula is not enough you need to be already understanding how it works in the real world to be able to solve it.

 

  the last thing I noted that there a lot of easy questions like communication channels but also come with tricky story to consume time.

 

 

 

  For Sorrow I went so nervous and lost my control and Failed

 

  But, I asserted to retest again after 10 Weeks.

 

 I believe that the exam technique changed and become more insane difficult

 

  My Advice is to be really understand how to apply project management on the real world and practice on how solve the situational questions in minimum time.

Good Luck

Jean
