PMP test question. Feel like an idiot: took a super intense prep course in March. Because of covid they made it virtual. I really don't learn well in a virtual environment. Then had to postpone taking the test also bc of covid and ended up failing it (test felt nothing like the mock exams). Very deflating. Now 4 months later trying to figure out how much independent study it's going to take to pass it. Any tips or encouragement? Would like to knock it out in the next 2-3 weeks.

I'm in a similar situation. Took the class in January, then the world fell apart. I was told to read the book twice and do Rita mulcahy test prep questions.

Find all the practice tests online and keep retaking the mock tests over and over and over. I probably took 30 practice tests. The questions are typically very similar and IMO some of the correct answers aren’t the way the things go in the real world.

Rita is the best, DM me for a few thousand sample question.

Hi. Are you still offering the sample questions? Looking to start my test prep soon. Thanks!

I’d say just do practice questions and get yourself familiar with the way they phrase things and the way they test you

i probably spent 40 hours over the course of 2 weeks. just keep taking practice tests and review the things you get wrong. if i had to do it over, that’s what i would do. no reading, flashcards, etc. just practice tests.

I passed with all above targets using Prep cast

Thanks all. Going to schedule it for 2 weeks out and hit the books. Specifically signed up for a super intensive, in-person course to pass the first time and not have this hanging over my life. Here's to passing the second time around.

it is a super simple exam...dont stress over it

What if we taught students (and ourselves) to humbly subordinate to an objective truth about the world?

What if we spent more time studying and conforming to that truth than reflecting on our feelings about it?

I believe we'd see a lot less anxiety and depression. Questions like "Who am I," "Why am I here," and "Where am I going" wouldn't be so crippling and terrifying. We could look beyond ourselves and marvel at the beauty of a universe greater than ourselves.
