I learned a great deal and clarified a lot of terms that I have heard/read but not completely understood. I got through all the traditional portions, but not any of the Agile portions due to timing of how I was studying. Do not recommend.Īndrew Ramdayal Udemy course - After abandoning Joseph Phillips I read in this subreddit to check him out. I kept feeling like I was about to learn something but it would never arrive. I couldn't stand this resource, I felt like the entire time ideas or objects were being introduced without any actual explanation. Joseph Phillips Udemy course - I started listening to this course on my commute to and from work (35 minutes each way). The exam was a pretty good mix of traditional and agile. The test center was mask optional so it may be worth a call to confirm with yours if that is one of your concerns. So I decided a commute to a test center was my best option.
I fidget and squirm a lot, and I have three dogs that would absolutely ruin my testing experience at home. I have read the stories about multiple restarts and troubles with proctors. I took the exam in person at a test center for many reasons. I scheduled my exam in late January and studied for roughly 8 weeks. I learn worst by reading or listening about a topic. I learn best by being a part of the action and dealing with success/failure. For all intents and purposes I would classify my project experience as close to the minimum.

Find answers that communicate (good or bad), problem-solve, and most importantly move the project forward.Pics of my exam and study performance in the TIA simulator and Prepcast simulator.Ī little about me and my experience: I have an MBA and work in manufacturing operations with occasional projects mixed in typically dealing with software implementation to benefit operations. If you get nothing else remember this: eliminate answers that delay, over-react, and have the PM being the hero. I just passed the PMI-PBA and did the exact same thing. I compiled this for the old exam, but the test taking strategies are spot-on. If you want to review the philosophy behind answering the "harder" questions, I provided my philosophy to (3) questions in this thread, this thread, and this thread. That being said, you need to be able to read the longer questions once. The exam likes communication and problem solving as a recurring theme.
All answers may not be exactly what you would do, but one answer will suck less. The exam is good at making candidates pick the least-worst answer. Generally, one of the acceptable answers generally has a dependent clause that makes it less correct. And there are generally two reasonable answers. The longer questions often have a "do nothing" answer like wait or delay, an over-reaction answer like "stop the project" or "escalate to project manager".

I give my 2c on how to think about these questions in the following links. The most IMPORTANT thing you need is a strategy for the longer questions and to plow through these quickly. And, of course, this makes everything very fair. If the difficulty is "high" you need to score less correct answers than say someone with an "easy" test. Your random selection of questions may trend easier or harder (I assume each question must have some sort of difficulty rating).
Actually, PMI has a huge test bank of questions.
