Passed PMP with AT/AT/AT – My Experience & Advice

I passed my PMP exam with AT/AT/AT, and I wanted to share my experience because reading posts in this subreddit really helped me during my preparation. I completed the exam this afternoon and used the link recommended by other people in this subreddit to check my results.

My Study Hall Mock Scores
Mock 1: 69%
Mock 2: 75%
Mock 3: 79%
Mock 4: 67% (this one was brutal with 35 Expert questions!)

I spent a lot of time worrying after seeing other people’s scores and reading posts saying the real exam was much harder. If you’re in the same position, don’t let that discourage you.

The actual exam was challenging, but I found it fair. There were definitely questions where two answers looked reasonable, but there were also plenty that were much more straightforward than Study Hall Expert questions.

Resources I Used

🥇 PMI Study Hall
Without a doubt, this was the best resource I used.
Don’t focus only on your scores—focus on understanding why you got questions wrong. Reviewing every mock thoroughly helped me more than taking additional practice exams.

Andrew Ramdayal (35 PDUs)
I completed Andrew Ramdayal’s 35 PDU course, which gave me a solid foundation before moving on to practice questions.

David McLachlan YouTube Videos
These were incredibly helpful for developing the PMP mindset.
The ones I found most useful were:
150 PMBOK Questions
200 Agile Questions
Drag & Drop Questions

I also worked through a long “ultra hard” question video, which really helped me get comfortable with difficult scenario-based questions and understand PMI’s way of thinking.

Biggest Lesson
The biggest improvement came when I stopped trying to memorise everything and started understanding the mindset.

Ask yourself:
What should the PM do first?
Which answer is the most collaborative?
Which protects business value?
Which follows the correct process?
Once I started thinking like that, my scores improved significantly.

If You’re Feeling Discouraged…
A few weeks before my exam, I was getting some mini exam scores in the 40–60% range and genuinely questioned whether I was ready.

By reviewing my mistakes instead of just chasing higher scores, everything started to click.

If your mock scores are similar to mine, don’t panic. Keep reviewing, understand your mistakes, trust the process, and don’t compare yourself too much to random Reddit posts.

Good luck to everyone preparing—you’ve got this
