Passed PMP on 3rd August 12
I passed PMP exam yesterday and here is my story:
Total preparation time:
5 Months (2 hours on working days and 3-5 hours on weekend)
Books:
PMBOK 4th Edition (Read 2-3 times)
Rita 6th
Kim Heldman
Mock Exams: (Started taking about a months before the exam)
Oliver Lehman 75 questions – 74%
PM Study free - 73%
PM Study 1 – 76%
PM Study 2 – 75%
RMC Fast tack PMP – 78%
RMC Fast Track Super PMP – 73%
Oliver Lehman 175 questions – 78%
Exam Central – 81%
Headfirst PMP – 84%
Simpilearn free – 82%
PMP for sure (11 tests) – Average 70-75%
PmZilla help:
I am watching this forum (silently) since two months. Very happening and energetic forum than any others. It’s highly recommended for all PMP aspirants. I will try my best to keep visiting to keep myself updated with PM knowledge.
Mock exam review:
PM Study is good on a slight easier side but a close one. PMP for sure is a must try, especially its unique result section that looks very real and close. Oliver is tricky and must. RMC is excellent, but sometime you feel sleepy because of its long-long sentences.
Exam highlights:
Not more than 10 questions were based on formula/numerical. About 2-3 questions on network diagram (Same network diagram, so make sure you draw it when you see the first question). Many questions were on risk and quality. About 20-30 questions were direct one liner IITO questions. Majority of the questions were situational.
Verdict:
Passed PMP with 1-P and 4-MP (1st Attempt)
Finally:
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
With lots of wishes to other aspirants,
Sudanshu, PMP

In all probability, FS would
In all probability, FS would refer to a Finish-to-Start relationship.
Are you by any chance referring to any specific question where you came across this "FS+25%"(I think Oliver Lehman's 75Q test has a similar one).

Does it mean the first
Does it mean the first activity has to finish 75% in order to start second activity
Or
Does it mean after the first activity duration + 25 % of its duration pass in order to start 2nd activity
Thank you
