TOPIC: I passed my exam on 2nd test.

Hello there,
I finally passed my PMP exam on 2nd attemps today. I was definitely nervous and feeling pressure on this than my 1st test.
Lesson learned :
On 1st attempted, I had used PM-Prepcast, others books read 4 times and referred to PMBok ITTO's sections and i have memorized all those ITTO's without solid understand of the concept. Did 5 times simulations exams progress from 1st-51% to 5th-81% and I have failed the exam!
Total frustration and really put in my study effort for 2nd test.
***
MUST know for passing the PMPexam !!
Study, study and study (effort)!!!
True solid understand of the ITTO's concepts(with these ITTO's in/out studying, you definitely remebered all 47 processes with ease)
Use Prepcast + Exam simulation, PMBok Guide(read 2 times and actually, it was quite easy reading for me after memorized the ittos, it help me to solidify those concepts)
and few web references..
***
At last, hope the new participants can use this as a guide to help them prep for the PMP exam(because I was here to learned a few tips and tricks for my prep)
Thank you the PM-Prepcast team and Cornelius!

Many congratualtions, on passing PMP...it’s indeed a big achievement....I failed my pmp too first time and now preparing again and will give exam before it change. I am lost too and confused,
Sometimes I feel I can’t understand what my gaps are and how do I fill them
Very Happy For you
Thanks

Hi Rubina,
Thanks you for the congrats.
Don't be discourage! Build on what you already knew. PM-Prepcast was an excellent product to prep the exam. Now you need to focus on PmBok guide. The A-1 section helped me a lot and easier to read than the main chapters. You will discover few "ooh " this process does this and "ahh" that process does that! There are clearly distinct!
All the best wishes to you!
