I took the CAPM before completing the PMP. I watched a ton of YouTube videos by a guy named Andrew Ramdayal and found it really helpful. He does 10 question practice tests.

Out of curiosity, where are you an AC? Looking to get into consulting myself!

Reaching out for any advice on questions to ask to truly assess resourcing, support and autonomy at a new place. Thx!
