Passed PMP on 01/11/2011

Hi all,
I cleared my PMP on 01/11/2011.
I was silent reader of pmzilla forum.


Sitting through 4 hours made me drain physically and mentally.
I took 3.5 hours to complete the exam and in next half an hour I reviewed all marked questions.
The questions on the exam were mixed. Some were very easy and some were tricky.
When the exam ended, the screen was blank for a moment and then it lead to survey.
I skipped that eager to get the result. It was realyy a tense moment for me.
But finally was releived to see that I passed!


Scores:
Planning, Executing - P
Initiating, M&C, Closing - MP


Anyways here are my lessons learned:
- Preparation Time: 4 months (I think just 2 or 3 months would suffice, but I took break in between due to work)
- PMBOK (2 times) - a must!
- Rita (2 times) - Version 6 is sufficient
- Few chapters from Headfirst, but solved all question at the end of each chapters
- Deepfriedbrainpmp (Harwinder) -> This blog made me the concepts clear (like WPI vs WPM vs PR, product scope, project scope etc). This was very helpful.
- For mock exams I took first three tests from PMStudy scoring around 72% to 80%.


Btw, I got a printout from the prometric centre with my result.
I'm not sure when will I get a mail from PMI regarding my result(?).
And also I checked the PMI website. And it does not reflect my current certification status.
Not sure how many days would it take(?).

 Hi there,

Congrats! You may get you mail from PMI the next day. i got it like that.

Enjoy the moment
