Previous PM experience will work against you. Take a test prep class, learn to pass the test. It’s the only way.

Honestly it’s a test about memorization. For the most part you need to remember the methodology as PMI lays it out even though reality never follows their method identically in my experience. There are a few questions that have you do calculations on schedule float but not many.

This test is the definition of reality not matching the content being tested. As others have said, read the book and forget your experience if you want to pass.

I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!
