I’m thrilled to share that I passed my PMP exam today with an AT/AT/AT!

I’ve been lurking here for a while and wanted to give a huge shoutout to this community. The support, tips, and shared experiences really helped keep me focused throughout my preparation.

If I had to do it all over again—and reflecting on my experience in the exam today—I would structure my study path exactly like this:

1. Andrew Ramdayal’s (AR) Udemy Course: This was my solid foundation. It really helped me grasp the core mindset and methodologies.
2. Third3Rock Exam Cheat Sheet: An incredible resource for quick reviews and solidifying those final concepts.
3. PMI Study Hall (Max Priority): Honestly, this was the game-changer. A lot of the questions I saw today felt very similar in style and complexity to the Study Hall practice questions. If you are prioritizing your time, put the most effort here.

My biggest takeaway: Limit your reference materials! It is so easy to fall into the trap of using too many books or sources. Instead, pick your primary resources and focus as much as possible on understanding the concepts and the PMP mindset rather than just memorizing facts.

Good luck to everyone still grinding—you’ve got this!

Been building this on the side for a few months. The main idea: every tool runs 100% in the browser using Web APIs, Canvas, pdf-lib, PDF.js, etc. Nothing ever leaves your device.

Some of the ones I think devs would actually use:

• JSON formatter + validator
• Regex tester with live highlighting
• Base64 encoder/decoder
• Hash generator (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
• Unix timestamp converter
• Number base converter (binary/hex/octal/decimal)
• CSS minifier
• Markdown editor with live preview
• URL encoder/decoder

Also added PDF tools recently (merge, split, compress, rotate, PDF→JPG) — all processed client-side with pdf-lib and PDF.js.

Site is freetoolboxkit.com — would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially if something is broken or a tool you'd want added.
