Got a mail from pmi yesterday night stating I passed the exam. Really excited right now.

I wrote the pbt exam December 20, 2014. We started pretty late and I finished right on time. There was no time for review, the shading kind of slowed me down since I practiced mostly for computer based test. I'm so glad I joined this forum as I used so many people's LL as benchmark which helped greatly.

my appreciation to all those who took their time to put down there LL, it helped me prepare and boosted my confidence towards the exam and the person who thought of coming up with this forum, many thanks to you.

i prepared using the following materials:

• Pmbok ( read it twice before the exam, had a better understanding of the book during the second read).
• Rita ( schemed through, the only reason I used Rita was because i was practicing with the simulation exam and figured some questions didn't have references in PMbok e.g motivation theory)
• headfirst ( this was my dictionary, if I didn't understand a term in pmbok, I refered to headfirst, it was scenario based with so many visuals that was easy to remember, it had pictures of the wbs dictionary, charter etc)

for the practice exams I used: 

• Rita simulation exam : this helped a lot, especially when timing yourself
• corneliys fitchner: I subscribed to the mailing list, solved 15 questions everyday.
• pmzilla 200q tough: got this a week to my exam, pretty hard but helped a lot.

I got a lot of calculation questions, especially on communication, next was the earned value management, you must be able to figure out which is EV, BAC, SV etc. had nothing on ethics and so many scenario based questions and "what next" questions.

even though I wrote down the 47 processes on scrap paper, figured out I didn't need it for the  exam.

I guess that's about all.
