PMP test question. Feel like an idiot: took a super intense prep course in March. Because of covid they made it virtual. I really don't learn well in a virtual environment. Then had to postpone taking the test also bc of covid and ended up failing it (test felt nothing like the mock exams). Very deflating. Now 4 months later trying to figure out how much independent study it's going to take to pass it. Any tips or encouragement? Would like to knock it out in the next 2-3 weeks.

Is it worth getting an MBA if you have a PMP? Seeing lots of different opinions on this.

Also, it is important to go to a big reputable grad school like Hopkins, Penn State or do MBA programs at smaller (much cheaper) online schools like University of Arizona etc. hold the same weight when it comes to boosting your career? Granted one is only considering accredited MBA programs & schools.
