honestly just take 5-10 practice tests and review the concepts you missed each time and you’ll do fine

It requires a lot of memorizing. I went to a boot camp. (1 week). They provided online mock up tests that were very helpful. It would give me results broken down by area so that I would know which chapters to reread.

How hard is it to study for? I need to submit the application soon.

You study the Rita Mulcahey book and take the practice quizzes at the end of each section and you’ll do fine

I studied 3 hours Thursday, six hours on Friday nothing Saturday Then put in 12 hours Sunday Monday and Tuesday. Took it to Wednesday morning and did really well.

One thing you should know is you can bring snacks or water you just have to step outside the room where they give you a locker . Also they give you two pieces of scrap paper you can ask for more but have to turn in one of your sheets to get a new blank one so be careful if you have written down lots of formulas or the order of the PMBOK stuff

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
