Get your PMP. You will be grateful you did.

Hold of on getting the CAPM. It doesn't hold a lot of weight. Just wait until you have enough experience and get your PMP. Very few job descriptions are asking for a CAPM while almost all of them are asking for a PMP.

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
