I am also wondering on your years of experience since 12 days is little too less time to prepare and that too you are P in almost all. Great. Nad you did not even touch PMBOK. Wow!!! Congrats...

Hi Reeta: What kind of LLs do you want? And do you think whatever his or her LLs are, do you think we can emulate it? At least I can NOT. Prepare hard and follow PMBOK and do some quality questions from reputed sites. All the Best! Thanks, KK....

I only memorized 2 things.  The 8 or so EVM formulas and the 9 x 5 chart with the 42 processes. 


Beyond that, I took a few practice tests and carefully reviewed those--thinking hard about why the answer was what it was, in the context mainly of 42 process chart and how work flowed through the system...  The overall approach was to really understand the logic of the processes, the grouping, and the sequencing.


That was about it for prep beyond the boot camp, which by and large was just an introduction to the overall processes.


On game day, took the full 4 hours to essentially do every question twice and rethinking through questions where my answer was different the second time.
