TOPIC: Passed PMP exam on 1st attempt 30NOV2016

I'm happy to report that I just passed today my PMP exam I was so relieved when I saw Congratulations on the screen.
I found the questions really difficult. I marked all first 25 questions and then it got better !
Most of the questions were situational: what should the PM do next , what didn't do the PM? what should the PM have done differently? there were lots of questions about changes, changes requests and quite a few on stakeholder and procurement management. Not many questions on EVM (maybe 4 or 5 and quite easy) and only 1 question on number of communications.

To pass the exam, I used the PMBOK book and Rita's pmp prep. I watched the video from the PM Prep cast and did the mock tests from the PM exam simulator (I averaged 70%). I encourage everyone to do as many mock tests as possible. For some reason the time seemed to go faster the day of the exam and I used the 4H.
I would like to thank Cornelius Fichtner. The material is really good and helped me getting ready for the exam.

Good luck to all of you who are studying.
Cheers

Marie,

Congrats on passing the PMP exam! Thanks for sharing your experience. I also struggled through the first 25 questions on my exam (really hard) and used nearly the entire 4 hours to complete. Best of luck in all your endeavors as a certified project manager.

Cheers,
