I studied for 1.5 months. I got my 35 credit hours with a Joseph Phillips course that I got on sale for $15. I used Rita Mulcahey’s and Andy Crowe’s pmp prep book I found online for free. Then I paid for an exam simulator called prep cast for $130. I could’ve taken it sooner but I just didn’t feel like rescheduling

- It was MUCH easier than I expected.
- No EVM formula questions.
- a few float questions.
- I took it from home, using the Pearson website. Someone monitors you the whole time using a webcam. You have to take photos of the environment to verify there’s no cheatsheets around. I put my hand over my mouth while thinking over a question...the proctor messaged me tellling me to move my hand.


I took the Udemy prep course. It was only $12 and it included the 35 classroom hours required for the test.

I used the pocket prep and PMI prep apps to run through test questions.

Link to the course please :feedme: and congrats.

Congratulations. I took in March and failed. But I also didn’t study. My company pays so I took it more so to see the format and get a feel to ease my anxiety about. That’s a great accomplishment.

Congrats..had one since 2007. Just make sure you keep it active so you won't have to take the exam ever again!

Yesterday was the first day of my new Project Manager position in DC:win:


I applied to at least 30 PM positions at Amazon over the last few months…never heard anything back. My second week of work at my new gig, I get an email directly from an Amazon hiring manager asking if I’m interested in a Program Manager position :stopitslime:

I just got promoted to Program Manger from Sr. PM and I still haven’t passed the PMP. The promotion was offered so I took it but don’t really care like that. I’m kinda over corporate and thinking about transitioning out. Starting my own consulting firm and using my PM skills there. If I retake the PMP it will be strictly for appearances. I do have my SCRUM Master though.

I’ve heard the new exam format is much easier. If that helps anyone.
