I did it!

I did it! AT/AT/T. And frankly, if I passed, this community had a strong role to play in guidance and encouragement. Despite scoring low 70s in study hall (5 practice exams), I was still very nervous and my confidence wasn’t great. Night before, was second guessing myself and didn’t great sleep.

My advice to anyone giving it is practice practice practice, understand why the mistakes are being made with the mindset and review many of the resources shared earlier particularly AR’s Mindset and 200 hard questions and David McLachlan’s videos, study guides and 150 ultra hard questions. Use AI to highlight trends and mistakes, make flash cards and notes where needed, consult other YouTube videos for areas such as DM/AR/MR and PMAspirant.

Be calm, structure your time during the exam and focus because it is mentally very exhausting. Take breaks, refuel with some sugar/caffeine/movement and keep at it. Review answers especially the flagged ones if possible.

I for one was not expecting to pass and that too with AT but belief and courage are critical to riding the wave of self-doubts. This is not an easy process so give yourself credit for making it this far.

Also, I wore blue, I celebrated with cake and now that it’s over, I closed my contract, documented my Lessons Learned and released this resource from exam prep and reassigned myself to the Pub to celebrate. All the best to all of you!

What now?

So having done the mock quizzes, my compiled average on all is 65%. I haven’t done a practice exam yet and am in the process of reviewing all my wrong answers and some of the guesses right answers to fine tune my understanding. What better or suggested ways are there to enhance these learnings and help bring myself up to a +70% average for my first mock exam?

How important is study hall to passing?

Reason I ask is because some of us from

The same company are doing the PMP and 2 have already passed. But they happen to be Engineers with Project Management backgrounds and far more exposure to the terminology and practical applications whereas I don’t.

Enough sample exams exist for me to attempt without study hall where I am already averaging 65-70% on quizzes with limited prep (am giving the exam in July). So how critical is study hall for me? Frankly speaking, I don’t want to pay for it. Can I get by without it, and if so, any other free resources or tools you would all recommend?
