Same, exactly the same. Not a difficult exam; you can logic through most questions.

Most helpful resource I found was the book Headfirst PMP. It asks the same question over and over again in different ways. I took it in 2017.

I agree ... head first was the best book (for me)

Thoughts on the Rita’s fast track exam simulation questions and hot topics flash cards?

Perhaps a mix of Rita’s book, PMBOK book, and set of a diff practice test resources then?

Is there one resource or multiple resources for taking this exam ? I took a bootcamp a year ago but never had time to write this exam..hoping to do so in the next few months, so appreciate resources that could help speed up the prep

Headfirst pmp
read the pmbok (boring, but it is what the test covers)

I used the exams simulator from Cornelius fichner (spelling?) ... anyway the exams were way harder than the actual test, the questions confused me more than anything else. I failed 10 times . I wasted a lot of effort and time ... But when I went into the exam I knew I would pass within the first 10 min.

Headfirst study guide and the PMBOK was the key - I also highered a tutor for a few hours...

I'm so sorry but I have to...I hope you lowered your tutor back down. Would suck if he/she is still still up there.

funny

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
