➛My Study Method
• Short Note taking on everything I read/Watch, revised prior to taking mock exam, practice exams...
• Pause the video and do it myself and watch explanation answers.
• On Study Hall Mock Exam, I revised and verify why I got right and why I got wrong and re-review.
• AI =Chatgpt, Gemini, claude. I fed and prompte them with PMP, PMBOK ,Agile practice Book.
(Gemini is very close similar to study hall answers , chatgpt is the worst than claude)

➛Question Nature Vs Study Hall
(Comparing to the Question I did over 3months)
• Most of them are a short senario based
• Most them are Expert level questions.
• Most choices are almost seem an answer: Hard to use elimination, mindset or other method.
• The Question nature is like as of Study hall Exam 4&5.
➛My Mistake /Lesson learned
• chose an exam center located close to a busy main road, surrounded by restaurants, a train station, and a taxi station. The surrounding noise and music frequently distracted me. To make it even more challenging, many of the songs being played were my favorite childhood songs, which kept bringing back memories and made it harder to maintain focus throughout the exam.
• The exam text font was very small. I assumed the font size was fixed for all PMI exams and didn't realize it could be adjusted using Ctrl + or Ctrl -. As a result, I struggled to read the questions and answer choices, which significantly slowed me down during the first 60 questions. During the 10-minute break, I asked the exam coordinator for help and learned about the font-size shortcut, which made the remainder of the exam much easier to read.
✅The question is : Why I failed? What's my fault? When should I take it again? What Resource I missed or avoid?
