Shocked

 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

Hi

Sorry to hear that but you can do it........just concentrate and stay focussed.

How was your preparation journey? Like did you read Rita PMBOK and or did you only rely on giving mocks more of? Also what was your score in the Rita's tests?

-Thanks
