After years of procrastination

After nearly 6 years of completing the 35 PDU contact hours certification.

Life and work happened in between. Engineers have come and gone in my team, who took and passed the PMP before me.

Finally had the time and chance to sit this one down and take it head on before the exam changes. Passed AT/AT/AT!

4 weeks of prep, 3hrs a day.

These are what worked for me:
- AR Udemy class
- AR mindset (watched it multiple times, listened to it like a podcast in the car)
- AR 200 Ultra hard questions (feed it to Claude, made an app questionnaire - I don’t have the patience to watch the 6hrs long video lol)

- SH practice and mini exams
- silently lurk and check this sub for tips

SH and AR questions were much harder than the real exam. But I guess that prepares and hardens you for the real thing lol

My tip for future takers:
Trust your gut, always check the time, try to answer each question in under a minute, if you can’t, take your best guess and flag it for review. ALWAYS APPLY THE PMI MINDSET.
