Finally passed my PMP with AT/AT/AT 😎🎉
I took the exam at a testing center. I originally considered taking an online proctored exam, but after reading way too many horror stories about technical issues and interruptions, I decided to book in person instead. The experience was smooth and hassle-free.
I spent a lot of time (and resources 🥲) preparing, especially on practice questions and mock exams, so here’s what worked for me:
* Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy course – My main course for understanding the concepts and PMP mindset.
* Elite Minds Learning PMP Course – This was especially helpful for preparing for the updated PMP exam structure. The course is comprehensive and covers PMBOK 7th & 8th editions, including newer topics like AI in PM, ESG, and Sustainability. Their 8 exam simulators were also great practice and felt even harder than the actual exam.
* PMI Study Hall – Probably the biggest part of my preparation. I did a LOT of practice questions and mock exams to get used to the wording and scenarios.
* Reddit – Helpful for learning from other people’s experiences and exam-day tips.
For me, it wasn’t just about studying the material, it was doing questions repeatedly and reviewing my mistakes. I focused on understanding why an answer was correct rather than memorizing it.
The actual exam was challenging, with many questions where I had to narrow it down to two answers and choose based on the scenario. So I wouldn’t rely on memorization alone.
I finished with some time left, but I was definitely ready for it to be over 😂
Getting AT/AT/AT was such a huge relief after all that preparation. 😭🎉
Good luck to everyone preparing! You got this. 💪
