I feel so relieved now that I finally passed the test. I've been studying almost 4-5 months for this exam.

I received 3Ps and 2 MPs.

About the questions:

• There were at least 25 - 35% questions about risks. Reading the Rita's book several times about this chapter helped me A LOT. Whatever she says to remember or pay attention in this chapter, follow her instruction. It saved me. Also, when you read her book, focus on her exam tips/tricks.
• There were also quite a number of questions about quality
• There were many questions asking about ITTO believe it or not. So I think it's really helpful to know what belongs where.
• At least 10 questions about calculating CV, EV, SPI, CPI, EAC, etc.
• handful questions about "blah blah.......what should you do next"
• I expected every question would be 3-6 lines long (since that's what quite a number of people said here), but I saw many questions being only 1-2 lines long.

Overall, the exam was not as difficult as I thought. I was expecting a difficulty level of the Rita's chapter questions or much higher with lots of complicated words and situations. But it was not.

I  studied the Rita and Crowe books a couple of times each. I did about 3000 questions (most of them free listed on PMZilla) and averaged about 70-75.

My recommendations:

• Make sure to really know about the risk area (I highly recommend the Rita's book, especially this chapter, as it helped me tremendously)
• Try to memorize ITTO (except PM/PD/OPA update, etc) especially for Risks, Qualtiy, Scope and Procurement. I wrote down tools and techniques for Risks and Quality during the first 15 min (or brain dump session) and it was very useful
• After doing lots of mockup tests, take at least several days to go over questions you answered wrong.
• For my brain dump sheet, I wrote down: the process group/knowledge area chart, EV formulas (CV, SV, CPI, SPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, TCPI), Formula for procurement (PTA, CRIF), and tools and techniques for Quality and Risks.
• When you study, focus on meaning of each tool and technique. Also understand what each process means (description) --> I referred to the Formula cheat sheet created by Anil Kumar Tanguturi

Hope my review will be helpful for test takers and thank you for the wonderful forum

Happy PMP!
