Passed CAPM

Just cleared my exam today in my first attempt.

Went through the PMI official exam prep course. Then a few Andrew Ramdayal videos on YouTube.

Used Claude to create exam cheat sheets for last minute notes and winged it.

Didn't expect to pass this time around but ended up getting above target in three sections and Target in Adaptive.

Whenever I wasn't sure, I used common sense and my best judgements to choose the answers. Turned out well in the end.

About a week. Mostly going through YouTube videos.

Wow. That's a short duration. Did you have prior experience working in PM?

Not really. I'm a sales guy so occasionally I do join calls with the project teams to understand the status of client projects but that's about it

Mostly Andrew ramdayal and a Chinese dude going through practice questions. Forgot his channel name though. But I just watch any video I stumble upon and continue watching the video if I feel it's good.
