I've never posted on Reddit, but I had to thank this forum for helping me passing the PMP exam!! I was totally lost on how to even approach studying for the PMP until this forum guided me. I took the exam in person and received my Pass AT/AT/AT result straightaway after a month and a half of buckling down 🎉

What helped me:

• I took AR's 35-hour course for my foundation
• I watched AR's mindset video on repeat the week leading up to the exam
• I took 2 full-length Study Hall practice exams (72% on both) and half of the other Study Hall exams, then revised the questions I got wrong. I focused less on the "Expert" questions for revising.
• I watched DM's 110 Drag & Drop Questions for a great review of concepts/terms in the last 2 weeks
• And the game changer for me: I handwrote myself a study guide which really reinforced everything I had learned.

Tips for the exam:

• Read the scenario carefully to determine if it is agile or traditional.
• Concentrate on what the question is really asking: differentiating "Do" vs. "Do first" in the Q really helped me!
• Wear blue of course 😄

I found that the exam format really mirrored Study Hall closely and the questions were a lot better worded than the phrasing of SH questions. The questions felt more straightforward to me in the actual exam. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!! YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!
