Team --

I've cleared my exam yesterday, it wasn't that bad - it took me 4hrs to plough through the questions and to get to the final "Congratulations" screen.!

I wish to thank PM zilla for this wonderful forum - which has made this journey possible for me, it's been almost an year since i joined and have been silently observing and taking tips from this forum...

This was my 2nd attempt, remember posting my 1st attempt LLs.
Made some friends here.. we made a small study group - though it was a team of 3. (Vishy -thanks for the encouragement, cannot forget the confidence you had in me! )..

Big thanks to my wife.. for being patient and further for keeping the trust that i will sail through this! :)

LLs.. I'll keep it simple for all the readers who're marching towards their test date...>>

*** Keep this rule of thumb..: Trust but please do verify**** 

Use it for preparation and even for scheduling::

Trust your judgement (to schedule for exam) but MUST verify by putting together a study plan, including time for test and revisions (includes study to catchup on gaps) - keep it realistic...measure as u progress with this!
-- I moved my dates as i know that i had to plan a trip (work reasons).

* PLEASE take this exam "seriously" - just a week or 2 preparation may not cut it (unless you get lucky or you're exceptional, it's NOT the fees - it's hard to get back on track for the 2nd time.. nail it in your 1st attempt!

* Prepare seriously & make time for revisions - primarily used PMBOK (skimmed twice, then took prep tests, then went through it line by line - detailed review).

* AGain, develop the stamina to sustain 4hrs under pressure when clock is ticking!

* Be prepared to face question(s) that can put you in confusion, ITTO's - close your eyes - think about the answer and then look at the options.

Good luck to all of you!

thanks
