Passed PMP - First attempt

Passed the PMP today with 4 MPs and 1P. Took the desion to apply on July 26th 2012 after talking to a friend about this exam. Application was approved in a week. Started to prepare from Aug 3rd. with Rita, read it a couple of times before even reading PMBOK. Started reading PMBOK in the last week before exam. Infact finished reading the night before the exam.

In all, prepared for about a month and half (1 week of intense study by taking a week vacation before the labor day weekend).  In between i attempted 4 mock tests from PMStudy in exam mode, Oliver 75, 175 and headfirst free exams on train, on my way to work spread out by couple of days. 

PM Study 1 - 65%

PM Study 2 - 71%

PM Study 3 - 74.5%

PM Study4 - 71.9%

headFirst - 78.2%

Actual exam was close to the experience i had with PMStudy so was pleased with the choice of mock exams. Rita's book was awesome as its easy to read and grasp.

Goodluck all.
