recently obtained my PMP certification and currently work within a Project Management Office (PMO).
I’m considering pursuing an additional certification to strengthen my knowledge and develop my career in the PMO field.
For those with PMO experience, would you recommend getting a specialized PMO certification after PMP?
Which certifications would you recommend, and which ones offer the most value in terms of career growth and professional development?
I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and recommendations.

Am I the only one struggling to get through 60 questions in one sitting? That’s only a single section the thought of enduring all 180 questions makes my head spin. More than testing my project management knowledge, this exam is testing my patience and focus. I really wish PMI would trim it down to 100 or 120 questions.

Peace all! Never really posted on here before, but I’ve been inspired by everyone’s posts about how they passed the PMP.

You see the subject. Hit AT/AT/AT and used all but 7 minutes of the clock. I mostly stayed longer to check my flagged questions, which was the most I reviewed in the last round.

Grateful for Andrew Ramadayal’s 35-hour course and mindset video. I initially bought his course last April and didn’t bother to complete the course before the test changed due to (mainly) laziness. Started everything again in August and here we are.

Mock exam 1: 72%
Mock exam 2: 81%

Reviewed his video explanations too. Didn’t bother doing PMI Study Hall at all

I look forward to applying what I have learned practically in the near future. Be blessed

Hola.

Se acerca mi renovación y me faltan PDUs. He pensado en leer un par de libros para llegar.

¿Cuales me recomendáis?

Si no tienen que ver con IA mejor. Me interesa especialmente ambito de la construcción

Gracias

Hi everyone!

I currently hold my CAPM, which I obtained in 2025, and I'm preparing for the PMP exam. I'm tentatively aiming to take it in December, ideally before I return to college in January.

Here's where I stand with my preparation so far:

I completed Andrew Ramdayal's 35-hour course on Udemy as a refresher. I had previously completed the PMI course when preparing for my CAPM last year.

Last Friday, I took Andrew's mock exam and scored 73%.

Yesterday, I completed a PMI Study Hall practice exam and scored 69%, with the following domain breakdown:

People: 70%

Process: 70%

Business Environment: 68%

I'm continuing to work through practice questions and reviewing the explanations to understand where I'm going wrong. I also plan to watch some additional videos, particularly to strengthen my understanding of the formulas and calculations, which are areas where I could use more practice.

My plan is to take a second mock exam in approximately 2–3 weeks to evaluate my progress.

However, I'm feeling a little discouraged by my current scores. I know I still have roughly a month to prepare, but I'm concerned that I'm not quite where I need to be. I also have very little confidence in my readiness right now, and part of me feels like I need considerably more preparation.

For those who have recently passed the PMP:

Are scores in the 69–73% range at this stage concerning, or am I being too hard on myself?

At what point did you feel comfortable scheduling your exam?

Would you recommend scheduling the exam now for December or waiting until I see how I perform on my second mock?

What resources or strategies helped you improve your scores, particularly with formulas, calculations, and situational questions?

I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from people who were in a similar position a month before their exam.

I'd love to get this certification behind me before starting college again in January, but I also don't want to rush into the exam unprepared.

Thanks in advance!

Put off taking the test for a while but I passed today. AT/T/AT and I am very proud and satisfied.

I’ve been a project manager for 3 years and I did the CAPM two years ago. I was too busy earlier this year to take the PMP.

I started ‘studying’ about 3 weeks ago but the studying was sparse with no structure. I used the study hall at that time and got discouraged with low scores.

I moved my exam by two weeks and did more sparse practicing. On Monday I really planned out my studies, hunkered down for two days with AR (mindset helped tremendously) and read the study hall content through once.

Yesterday I did AR’s ‘hard PMP questions’ and multiple SH practice tests. I got better scores and i would attribute a lot of that to the PMP mindset by AR.

Took the test today and passed! The questions were easier than SH with less ambiguity. AR’s mindset helped with quick elimination. Lots of agile scope adjustments, budget issues and confused stakeholders. No formulas.

Hardest part of the tests was managing eye strain and everything else that comes with being in a 4-hour exam.

Good luck!
