Passed the PMP Exam on Nov.6
After preparing for about 3 months, I passed the PMP exam a couple of days ago. After reading through these forums I thought the test would be very tricky but instead I was pleasantly surprised and found the test extremely easy. I completed the test in just over 3 hrs and ended up scoring Proficient in every category.
I work full time and studied on average 3-4 hrs/weekend the first 2 months and then an additional 10 hrs/week over the last month or so. Aside from listening to the PM Prepcast (which I took for the 35 contact hours), I read the PMBOK (and Code of Ethics) 4x and took several practice tests/scored as follows:
PM Study - Free 200 question test - 77%
Exam Central - 200 question test - 94%, too easy in my opinion
Oliver Lehmann 75 questions - 88%
Oliver Lehmann 175 questions - 81%
PM Perfect - Purchased and took around 20 of the 50-question tests - My average score on those started around 78% and by the time I finished I was averaging around 96% over the last 6 or 7 tests.
Of all the tests I took, I think the PMPerfect tests were probably the most realistic (although some of the later tests were more difficult than the real exam).
Overall I felt that absorbing the PMBOK (in repetition) and taking numerous practice tests to really get a feel for the types of questions led to my success but as I said earlier, I did not expect it to be as easy as it turned out to be.
