Hi, I'm quite new in this forum, just enrolled last week, but wanna share the good news. Took the exam last tuesday and I passed. Have Proficiency in Init and Planning and Moderate in the rest.

I know many put their LL on how to prepare to the test, and all of them have good tips. What I wanna mention is just after that you study the book you want: PMBook, Rita, Head, ..., make a lot of simulation.  On tuesday I was quite confident because has made at least 10 complete exams: Rita's: PMPs and SuperPMP, Head, Oliver Lehman, Cross Wind, ...

Rita in my opinion seems very close to the actual test. The exam in my opinion was not as tough as I imagined.

Take care of the following topics:

- EVA formulas, undestand the result of CPI, SPI.

- QC Tools & Techniques, understand all of the 7 TT,  not memorize but understand when is used each tool.

- Risk response strategies, understand the concept and associate when to use each one, I make the following association. Question are related to situations.

*Transference: Insurance, Mitigation: Reduce, Avoid: Delete, Accept: Contingency reserve.

- If you don't understand something, ASK. This forum is awesome, I have some doubts in QA and QC and received good tips and explanations.

And be sure if you study, simulate and understand the logic of the process you have a very high chance to pass it. Don't be nervous during the test, beside me were two people very anxious previous the exam, and unfortunately they missed it.
