Hi All,

This is to say a big thank you for the help I got while preparing for PMP exam from this website. It was a long chase but at last managed to clear in first attempt with proficient in all process groups except planning where I was moderately proficient.

There were gaps in between in this whole journey due to a complex project which engaged me completely for at least 4 months. It picked momentum when I scheduled the exam just 3 weeks before expiry of exam eligibility. I believe scheduling exam gives you a target and sense of responsibility and forces you to take preparations much more seriously.

I visited the test centre one day before the exam and reached almost an hour before starting time. I was bit tired and asked staff for possibility of having a break. I arranged few drinks and chocolate bars which I planned to consume during break-time and refresh myself but couldn't be possible due to extreme shortage of time. I hardly could finish all questions in 3 hours and 50 minutes. Last 10 minutes I spent in reviewing marked questions but could not make any change in choices already made in first pass. I believe reading questions and selecting most appropriate option in first pass is much better use of time instead of just marking and proceeding without a choice. You've to spend similar amount of time in review to again understand the scenarios.

Real problem is time management during the test. I could answer only 85 questions in first two hours and then I made myself alert and crashed the remaining questions bit fast.

Hope this account would be helpful for candidates still in pipeline.

Kind Regards,
