Sorry I don’t. And I study old school in the actual book. Sparked a LOT of conversations on flights

Buy “300 practice exam questions for the pmp exam” by Roji Abraham. It’s only a couple bucks, but worth its weight in gold.

I read the pmp manual 2x and practiced those questions and passed the exam. Spare yourself from the expensive boot camp.

Q: why are you interested in getting the certification? Seems like there’s diminished *perceived* value in the cert these days.

A1 I feel like scrum is big in tech engineering but not in other engineering fields. In all honesty, I had never heard of it prior to consulting. In engineering, pmp is king, especially if paired with a PE.
