TOPIC: Passed with flying colors on my first try

No amount of memorization would prepare one for the actual exam. The actual exam questions were mostly situational and required understanding of the PM concepts and processes mentioned. I did memorize the 47 processes and some formulas, but I didn't memorize ITTO. I didn't read the PMBOK but what I did were:
- Read Head First PMP
- Watched the PM PrepCast videos
- Took 8 paid exam simulators that came bundled with the PM PrepCast
- Studied everyday (even if it was just 1-2 hours)
- Prepared a 1-page brain dump materials
I didn't take any boot camp/course as I was trying to save money and I am proud to say that my hard work has paid off.

Congrats!
