I have created this thread for the candidates who have just given their exams and they have either failed or passed. I request them to share their experiences and question's types they have faced and what topics were challenging in the exam.

I have posted one of the candidate's recent experience as follows, i request others to cooperate so that this hurdle can be crossed in a mere 1st attempt or 2nd attempt only :

Experience No 1:

I got around 5-10 questions on EV, SV's etc

1 on WBS was shown a picture of RACI chart and asked whats wrong with teh chart...

5-10 floats critical path questions , some of them were situational

Probability & Impact matrix..

Lots and Lots of Risk Management questions....

importance of communication channels

Few ITTO questions less than 10..

Few questions regarding quality audits, assurance & control

qns about what to do regarding changes

Inputs to HR plan, team building, conflict resolution and about theory x and hygiene factors..

types of contract and which one will be good for a particular situation...

Due to my preparation I struggled with ITTO's but most of the questions needed common sense. and if I can pass with preparation, if you can put in little bit more effort than me the exam shouldnt be a problem. 

Experience No 2: (By Phillykef)

The questions were really all over the spectrum of topics, but you can pass the test even if you don't know everything. Even with the overwhelming amount of information, you only need to get 61% of the questions right, so focusing on the right topics is more important than knowing ALL of the topics. Here's what I would suggest to focus on:

1. Rita's Big Chart - Memorize It, and know the order of Planning activites.

2. Inputs and Outputs - know all of these as best you can for each topic in Rita's book.

3. EV formulas - memorize these, and write them down on your scratch paper as soon as you start your test.

4. Stakeholder Plan and Management - There were quite a few questions on this.

MORE THAN HALF OF THE TEST WILL BE ON THESE 4 THINGS! The rest will be across all the other topics. I took notes while reading Rita's book, reviewed my notes when I was done the chapter, and then re-reviewed when I was done the book. I would especially pay attention to the inputs and outputs, because they are a big focus on the exam. Also, it helped me to write down the information rather than just reading it.

You mentioned the RACI chart, and I think this is a good example of a topic that you should NOT focus on. There may be 2-3 questions on the exam related to this, so yes, you need to know it, but you shouldn't focus on it if it's such a small portion of the exam. Same thing with lines of communication (maybe 2-3 questions), Maslow's hierarchy of needs (maybe 2 questions), Type X and Y, BAC, etc, etc, etc. Make sure you have a general knowledge of these topics, but don't go crazy trying to memorize every single word in PMBOK and Rita's book when these topics are discussed.

I hope that helps
