TOPIC: Passed on my 1st attempt, AT*3, course=2w, mock=1w

When I decided to take the PMP exam, I had a very limited time to study and take the exam : 3 weeks !
So here is how I did to get PMP certified during this time frame.

Course (2 weeks)
I studied with the 35h PMP Exam Prep course on Udemy by Andrew Ramdayal (TIA) ==> So good : everything you need to know, no less, no more !
To make sure I didn't miss out on anything, I read some guides later on (PMBOK 7, Agile PG, Scrum Guide, Agile Manifesto) ==> I didn't learn anything new, the Udemy course really shipped everything !
I managed PMI eligibility and exam scheduling during those 2 weeks ==> I got eligibility in 48h (didn't get audited, otherwise my timing could have been messed up), and scheduled online testing to have an appointment quickly and exactly when I was available.

Mock exams (1 week)
I chose the Prepcast exam simulator for taking mock exams before the actual exam.
After trying half a dozen simulators out, I picked this one for below reasons :

• Best market value when considering number of questions/quality of questions/price
• Number of mock exams available (deluxe version)
• Quality of the interface
• Quality of feedbacks on each question

I took 1 mock exam per day ==> It's exhausting, but it's the best way to know how to manage your effort on D-day and have accurate metrics to compare to an exam-like situation
Truly, this simulator is amazing for at least 4 reasons:

• The exact same wording, pitch length, difficulty level and ambiguity level as the question I got on the real exam ==> totally uncanny : the exam felt like yet another mock exam on the Prepcast simulator
• The interface is as close as could be as the one you'll get on D-day
• The feedback you get on each question (and on each proposition of each question) is really thorough and means a great deal when studying for the exam
• I performed exactly the same at the exam than on mock exam : AT on each topic, with seemingly 80% overall success (judging by sight on the exam score gauge)

And here you go, PMP certified in 3 weeks top !

Cheers
