Passed PMP yesterday in Hyderabad

I successfully passed the PMP exam yesterday in Hyderabad.

Here is my LL:

I stared preparing seriously from Jan'11
For the last 2.5 months, I read Andy Crowe's book (2,3 times) as well one week online orientation which is very
helpful just before the exam.
PMBOK (I just glanced through once)
HeadFirst (Only Q&A, 175 Exam questions)
Kim Heldman ((Only Q&A, Very useful)
Newell (Only Q&A, Very useful)
Rita's (Only Q&A)

I feel, It is really important to focus on one or two books and take as many online exams as possible.

Understanding the basics is critical.


I took couple of online tests to check my speed.
1. Head First full length
2. Oliver Lehman
3. Pm Study's simulated exams

During exam,  you will be asked to run through the 15 min tutorial, which hardly takes 2 minutes time. Remaining time, I wrote down all the imp. formulae of cost and time, also all the 42 processes in tabular form.
Initially I was very nervous to clear the first 5 questions which were lengthy too. Later on I could set right.

After completing 100 questions, I took a 5 minute break, which I think is necessary to relax for a while.

I could complete all 200 just 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

 Immediately I ran through the Marked Questions and cleared. In the last 4 minutes, I had a chance to see some dobutful questions.
I closed my eyes and proceeded to see my results. The attender told to skip the survey and end the exam.
I was thrilled to see congratulations...

The attender told to end it and gave the printout. That night was really memorable for me. I am really thrilled to have this certification.

Good Luck
