Background: I sat the pilot exam for the new PMP format on 30 January with minimal prep (it was a 20% cashback offer with a free retake, so I treated it as recon). Got Below Target on People and Process, Target on Business Environment.

Now retaking properly on July 20.

Current resource stack:

Andrew Ramdayal YouTube course as the spine

Mohammed Rahman and David McLachlan as supplementary

PMI Study Hall (new format aligned)

PMBOK 8, Agile Practice Guide, Process Groups Practice Guide

Any gap in this stack?

Looking for a study partner also on the new July 2026 format. Want someone for weekly mock debriefs and async wrong-answer discussions. If you also took the pilot, even better, I want to compare notes.

Comment or DM.
