Dear friends,
I cleared my PMP exam. with 4MP and 1 BP (planning..).
The exam never tested me... There were no challenging or lengthy questions. All were direct questions... during the preparation I was scared of questions containing the word NOT(I never got them right during my mock. over a period of time I selected one answer and ignored it.. then i worked on other 3 options).
The qualty of questions were excellent and I was very curious what the next question would be. this kept me very active throughout the exam. lots of calculation questions.. I took one 6 minute break after 75 questions...
I answered 42 questions in 1st hour. I was confident that I will clear the exam with 5MPs(which i had planned). 80+ questions in second hour... main reason was mathematical questions..but never worried about time. after 3 hours i answered 130+ questions.. during the final hour I was a fully charged. I ended up with 15 mins in hand. marked only 3 mathematical questions as they were very confusing in the first attempt. Due to confidence they looked very easy in second attempt. finished them and i took the survey, when i still had 12 minutes left. I provided some feedback and finally clicked submit with a smile... after few seconds i got congratulations as expected.
but BP in planning is still a mistery...
Full credits to cornelius fitchner... PM Prepcast/PM simulator/PM study mock tests helped me to where I am now.
I will post lessons learned in separate topic. If I had read any PREP book completely atleast once, I would have defnitely planned for 5P and ended up at 4P and 1MP (in planning).
