Hi All,

I cleared the exam yesterday with 3 P and 2 MP(initiating & closing). Thanks to every one in this forum for your help . I used to browse your site daily 10-15 minutes in various forum topics and it really helped me a lot to my aim to clear the exam. 

About my preparation, for PDU I attended Star PMO workshop and for boooks I referred Rita mulcahy's guide for my initial round and then read PMBOK once. Later I switched to Andy crowe's book since it was to the point or a easy to understand version of PMBOK. Also, the one week trial membership provided in the book is very useful. I felt both books are good in their own ways.I atteneded mock tests of Rita's fastrack, oliver lehmans, PMZilla tough 200 questions and also few sites mentioned by members as very good. Also, i read articles from deepfriedbrainproject and  ofcourse the discussion around questions and answers in Pmzilla. I appreciate SS Pawarji's contributions in this area. I gave my exam after couple of rescheduling , first time i postponed it and the second time the exam itself got cancelled and has to be scheduled again with another center. Even this time i was thinking to postpone it but took a decision thinking like even if I fail no matter it is not going to be the end of road.

I reached the exam hall half an hour before went through the formalities and started the exam. The first question itself was a tough one and i just marked it and moved to the second one and finally was able to identify correct answer from fourth question onwards. There were 15-20 questions on EV calculations and  couple fo questions on network diagram which was not tough. completed the questions in 3 hours. Then I started reviewing the marked questions and   completed it in around 25 minutes. Overall i feel the exam was not as tough as I thought.
