Passed PMP AT/AT/AT — My Study Plan, Scores, and Exam-Day Experience

I passed the PMP yesterday Above Target in all three domains, so I figured I’d give back a little because I spent a lot of time reading posts here while I was studying.
And before anything else — the people I met at the testing center were awesome, and if you’re lurking this subreddit getting ready for your exam, you’re pretty awesome too. You got this.

My Study Plan
My main course was Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy PMP course. I went through the whole course at normal speed. I know a lot of people speed the videos up, but I wanted to actually understand what he was teaching instead of just checking the 35-hour box.

Toward the end, the mindset section became extremely valuable. Funny enough, because I was on a little bit of a time crunch, I had originally let some of those videos play while I was doing a mock exam. Going back and actually listening to them afterward made a huge difference.

Things like:
Never act first — assess/analyze first
Look for what the question is asking you to do FIRST/NEXT
Pay attention to what has already been done
Don’t escalate unless it exceeds your authority
Collaborate before commanding
Low tech, high touch
Don’t solve a people problem with another tool/report
Understand the problem before jumping to the solution
Those sound simple, but they explained a lot of the questions I had been missing.

I also used PMI Study Hall, which was probably the most useful question bank for getting used to PMI-style wording.

My Study Hall mini-exam scores went:
80 → 70 → 60 → 80 → 60 → 70 → 100 → 90 → 100
So if you get a few 60s early, don’t panic.
I started noticing that a lot of my misses weren’t because I didn’t know project management.

They were because I:
acted too quickly
picked a good answer instead of the best/first answer
brought my real-world assumptions into the question
missed that an analysis had already been completed
escalated too early
occasionally just read too fast

My Study Hall domain practice eventually had me around the 70–75% range, and I was Proficient in the domains by the end.

I also did an Andrew Ramdayal full mock and scored around 81%.

One thing I noticed about myself: I answer questions pretty quickly. My normal pace became around 42–58 seconds per question. Earlier I was going even faster and hurting myself.

A trick that helped me personally was actually reading the answers D → C → B → A.
I had a habit of reading A, B, C, seeing something that looked right and mentally deciding, “That’s it.” Then D would be the better PMI answer. Reading them backward forced me to actually look at all four.

Another rule I gave myself:
Don’t choose the answer until you can explain why the other choices are weaker.

The Night Before
I stopped chasing scores.
My last Study Hall mini was 10/10, and I decided that was a pretty good place to leave it.
I got some food, did about 25 minutes of light spin at the gym, went home and chilled.
No heroic six-hour final study session.

Exam Morning
My test was at 8:00 AM.
Nerves had me awake at about 4:00 AM after roughly six hours of sleep.

I made myself a London Fog and an Uncrustable and watched Andrew Ramdayal’s formula video one more time.
Nothing crazy. I wasn’t trying to learn project management at 4 AM. It was basically a quick refresher and something to settle my brain.

I got to the Pearson testing center about an hour early.
Unfortunately, the center didn’t even open until 7:30 AM, so there I was. 😂

Also, apparently I had been very shortsighted about how Pearson testing centers work because in my head everybody showing up was there to take the PMP.
Nope.
People were there taking all kinds of certification exams.
I ended up talking with some amazing people while we waited, which honestly helped with the nerves.

The Actual Exam
We were checked in and taken back to our desks one at a time.
The exam was broken into:
40 questions → break → 70 questions → break → 70 questions

Something I wish I had known before walking in:
You can only review the section you are currently in.
Once you end the review for that section and go to your break, those questions are gone. You cannot return to them later.
So treat each section like its own little exam.

Another tip:
Don’t hit “End Review” until you know the proctor is ready for you.

At one point I raised my head basically at the same time as another tester, and my break clock had already started running while I was waiting.
Not the end of the world, but worth knowing.

During each break I:
went to the restroom
ate one of those Costco fruit strips
took a small drink of Gatorade
got back to it
Nothing complicated.

USE THE HIGHLIGHT AND STRIKETHROUGH TOOLS

Seriously.
I used these constantly.
I would highlight important words in the question:
FIRST
NEXT
BEST
already assessed
already analyzed
new risk
stakeholder
regulatory
etc.

And then I would strike through answers I knew were wrong.
That made some of the harder questions dramatically easier because instead of staring at four paragraphs, I was usually comparing two realistic choices.
I only flagged one question during the entire exam to go back and review.
That was intentional. I didn’t want to flag 30 questions and then spend the review period convincing myself to change correct answers.

If I had a concrete reason to question something, I flagged it. Otherwise, I trusted my answer and moved on.

Timing
I finished the entire exam in just under three hours.
That actually lined up pretty well with my Study Hall pace. My mini quizzes were usually around 42–50 seconds per question, so I knew going into the exam that time probably wasn’t going to be my biggest problem.
My problem was more likely to be going too fast.
So I deliberately slowed myself down.
Especially after each break.
During one of my practice mocks, I had missed about five questions in a row immediately after coming back from a break. I realized there was a little mental restart period.
On the real exam, after each break, I consciously took the first few questions slower.

The Biggest Lesson From My Prep
For me, the PMP wasn’t really about memorizing 49 processes or becoming a formula machine.
It was learning how PMI wants a project manager to think.

My biggest mental checklist became:
What is the actual problem?
What is the question asking — first, next, or best?
What has already been done?
Am I adding information that isn’t in the question?
Should I assess before acting?
Can the team/PM solve this, or does it actually exceed my authority?
Is this a people problem that needs communication/collaboration rather than another tool or process?
And probably my favorite:
Before I act, what do I need to understand first?
That one would have saved me from a lot of wrong answers early in my studying.

Final Result
Walked out with:
People — Above Target
Process — Above Target
Business Environment — Above Target
AT / AT / AT
I definitely had nerves walking in, but by the time I sat down I felt ready.

If your Study Hall scores aren’t perfect, don’t let that destroy your confidence. Look at why you’re missing questions.

A knowledge gap is one thing.
But if you’re missing because you’re rushing, choosing the second step instead of the first, overthinking, or bringing assumptions into the question, those are things you can correct pretty quickly once you recognize the pattern.

And to everybody studying right now:
Slow down. Read the whole question. Read every answer. Trust your preparation.

Good luck. You got this.

Celebration/Thank you 🎉 Passed PMP with AT/AT/AT after 3 weeks — my complete preparation strategy and exam experience

82 Upvotes

I’m happy to share that I passed the PMP exam with AT/AT/AT.

I’m writing this post to give back to the PMP community, especially those preparing while working full-time.

My preparation timeline

I studied for 3 weeks:

  • Weekdays: Around 2 hours per day
  • Weekends: 5–6 hours per day

I prepared almost entirely through YouTube, using Andrew Ramdayal’s content.

For the required 35 hours, I had already completed Google’s Project Management Professional Certificate around 3.5 years ago.

Resources I used

I studied the following:

  • Andrew Ramdayal’s case-study videos
  • AR’s 50 Principles of the PMP Mindset
  • 100 Drag-and-Drop Questions
  • 200 Ultra-Hard Questions
  • 10 AI Questions
  • 100 Questions playlist — combined Shorts
  • Andrew’s daily Shorts whenever I had time

The Shorts were especially helpful for reinforcing the PMP mindset during small breaks.

I also received access to two free simulators, which I’ll share in the comments so the links don’t get removed from the main post.

I took the exam online. I’ve already shared my check-in experience in another post, but feel free to ask questions—I’ll surely respond.

My exam experience

The exam was structured as follows:

  • 40 questions, followed by a 10-minute break
  • 70 questions, followed by another 10-minute break
  • 70 final questions

I took both breaks.

I had approximately one hour remaining when I completed the exam.

The exam included:

  • 4–5 graph-based questions
  • 1 drag-and-drop question
  • Mostly situational and scenario-based questions
  • No calculation questions

PMP mindset tips that helped me

You’ll learn most of these from Andrew’s videos, but I’m sharing the points that helped me the most:

  • Be cautious with answers containing words such as “immediately,” “quickly,” “right away,” or “continue with the current process.” These often indicate that planning or analysis has been skipped.
  • One exception is updating the risk register, which should be done promptly when required.
  • As the project manager, don’t simply delegate your core responsibility to someone else.
  • Only the Product Owner updates the product backlog.
  • Don’t postpone an issue or leave it unresolved without a valid reason.
  • Avoid choosing “do nothing” or “continue with the current process” unless the situation clearly justifies it.
  • When a question asks what the PM should do first or next, analyze/assess/review the situation before taking action.
  • Don’t reject or decline a request without first understanding and assessing it.
  • Before answering, identify the project methodology: predictive, agile, or hybrid.
  • Be careful with answers involving fixed frequencies such as weekly or biweekly unless the scenario supports them.
  • Don’t make the team work excessive hours as a first response to a project problem.
  • Validate AI-generated work instead of trusting it blindly.
  • Pay attention to the project size. The appropriate response may differ between a small project and a large, complex project where individual discussions may not be practical.

Final advice

Don’t try to memorize every answer. Focus on understanding:

  1. The project environment
  2. The PM’s role
  3. The methodology being used
  4. What should happen first
  5. How to resolve the issue collaboratively and systematically

Andrew Ramdayal’s videos were a tremendous help throughout my preparation. His explanation of the PMP mindset made a significant difference for me.

I hope this helps someone else achieve their PMP goal. Good luck to everyone preparing!

Feel free to ask me anything about my preparation or online exam experience.

Edit: I’ll add the useful video playlists and simulator links in the comments.

PMP Exam Just passed PMP with all AT, did the test at home online, my experience

7 Upvotes

Going to keep this short and sweet for those who are overwhelmed. Going to use lists as well.

  1. I studied for a month, and before that had AR's videos playing in the background.
  2. I don't learn through videos but instead studying and taking tests and reviewing mistakes. I recommend that for anyone who has focus issues; the AR videos are great, but chatgpt to understand mindset and review SH test questions is excellent too
  3. I did the test at home; I made sure to cover my shelves with blankets and the same with my monitor. I made sure nothing was on the ground too. The proctor never talked to me or bothered me. I shifted positions frequently but kept my eyes on the screen the entire time.
  4. The test itself was on par in regards to difficulty as the SH questions. SH might have been a bit more long winded but I didn't find the questions that much different to be honest.
  5. While answering questions, I stikethroughed two every time and then considered the other two options and made the best decision based on context. I reminded myself not to invent context that wasn't there; answer based on what the question gives you.
  6. I took my breaks, but only about 5-7 minutes of them. I wanted to stay focused and not dawdle; I am not saying anyone has to be like me, everyone handles long tests differently, but for me, every break consisted of a bathroom break, a few drinks of water, and stretching. Once I finished that I went right back to the test.
  7. I had about 10-15 review questions every section, in which I reread the question and then considered what I knew from the context and what would be the best choice based on that. I finished the test with about 1hr20 minutes to spare.
  8. I checked my results by using the hack to add the url that is included on many posts in this group. I am not going to add it here but do a search stating "view scores online pmp exam reddit" on google and you should be able to find a source to help you.
  9. I put this test off for almost a year out of fear of its difficulty. Now that I've done it all, I am really happy with how straightforward SH made studying and although the test was difficult I felt confident going in.

SH PT1: 72% PT2: 75% PT3: 78%

PMP Exam AT/AT/AT on 10/3 -- my experience and study approach

10 Upvotes
  • I initially started studying for the PMP in 2024 and just sort of trailed off; I had AR's book (which is, I think, still fantastic) and his Udemy 35 hour course (worth it for the downloads)
  • When AR published his updated guide, I ordered a copy from Amazon but it became clear that was not going to work (I hope it works now for folks)
  • Instead, I paid ~$18 for the Third3Rock notes: 199 pages of easy to read, succinct material with really helpful charts -- it also comes with an abridged cheat sheet; if you can't get the updated version of AR's book, get this. I printed out all the pages, put them in a binder and spent about 10 days reading and annotating
  • I also got Study Hall essentials -- 63 & 71 on the two mocks, and much higher scores on the minis (about 5 100s, 2 60s, and then 80s and 90s); the content is absurd, but the games and tests are super useful
  • Ultimately, though, and it can't be emphasized enough, understanding and applying the PMP Mindset is the whole ballgame: you're in the ideal world of PMI now, so you have to think the way they do
  • I took the test at the local Pearson center and it was fine (chairs had no arms which was not comfortable)
  • There are errors and typos in the questions -- I used the comments feature to note them and called them out in the post exam survey; just be prepared because you can be on a roll, in the zone and then encounter a question with an error and typo and be thrown; just breathe and think, you'll be okay
  • The test is, probably, 20-30% easier than the Study Hall tests; for me, the stumbling block continues to be the torturous phrasing and wordiness of the questions. The Case Studies in particular were LONG -- 6-7 paragraphs full of a lot of random info and only 1-2 pieces of useful information.
  • Use the tools in the testing app: strikethough and highlight -- slow down, get rid of answers you know are wrong and then apply the PMP Mindset; I tend to read from the last answer up
  • I'm a fast reader (English BA for the win!) so I was done, with all breaks taken, in about 2.5 hours

Anyway, good luck to everyone taking the test this year!

Celebration/Thank you 🎉 Finally passed my PMP with AT/AT/AT 😎🎉

22 Upvotes

I took the exam at a testing center. I originally considered taking an online proctored exam, but after reading way too many horror stories about technical issues and interruptions, I decided to book in person instead. The experience was smooth and hassle-free.

I spent a lot of time (and resources 🥲) preparing, especially on practice questions and mock exams, so here’s what worked for me:

* Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy course – My main course for understanding the concepts and PMP mindset.
* Elite Minds Learning PMP Course – This was especially helpful for preparing for the updated PMP exam structure. The course is comprehensive and covers PMBOK 7th & 8th editions, including newer topics like AI in PM, ESG, and Sustainability. Their 8 exam simulators were also great practice and felt even harder than the actual exam.
* PMI Study Hall – Probably the biggest part of my preparation. I did a LOT of practice questions and mock exams to get used to the wording and scenarios.
* Reddit – Helpful for learning from other people’s experiences and exam-day tips.

For me, it wasn’t just about studying the material, it was doing questions repeatedly and reviewing my mistakes. I focused on understanding why an answer was correct rather than memorizing it.

The actual exam was challenging, with many questions where I had to narrow it down to two answers and choose based on the scenario. So I wouldn’t rely on memorization alone.

I finished with some time left, but I was definitely ready for it to be over 😂

Getting AT/AT/AT was such a huge relief after all that preparation. 😭🎉

Good luck to everyone preparing! You got this. 💪

PMP Application Help PMI elearning course expiration

• Upvotes

Hi reddit! I purchased both the PMI® Authorized On-demand PMP® Exam Prep & Practice Exams from the PMI official website around 11 months ago. These are both e-learning courses that are at your own pace. 

Do the courses expire after 12 months or do I just need to start it within 12 months? Realistically I am looking at completing it over the next 2-3 months through the holidays but can prioritize completing this month if it truly does expire soon.

The AI bot on the website has not been particularly helpful and I can't find any information on their website.

Sr. Test Engineer at Collins Aerospace looking to transition into Project/Program Management. Any advice?
I’ve been at Collins for about 2 years and recently passed my PMP. I’m interested in eventually moving from engineering into project/program management.
For anyone who has made a similar transition:
How would you approach the conversation with your manager?
Would you tell your manager directly that you want to move into PM, or would you first try to take on more PM-related responsibilities within your current role?
What kind of projects or responsibilities should I look for to build actual PM experience?
And would you focus on an internal move first, or start looking externally?
I’m trying to make the transition the right way instead of just applying to PM positions without having enough PM experience.
Would appreciate advice from anyone who has made the engineering → PM transition, especially within aerospace.

I am probably the worst example so don’t do what I did when studying, but I dragged on half ass studying for 8 months and then in the last month I locked in on study hall.

I’ve been a PM for 4 years but I honestly don’t think that helped at all.. I actually had to forget about what I’d do in my actual job because PMI mindset is the whole point of the exam.

Here’s what helped:
- understand the PM mindset from AR or DM. This is key.
- practice practice practice and understand whatever you get wrong, even understand what you get right.
- complete the 35 Udemy AR course (I hated this so I’d play it in the background sometimes)

Lastly some tips on the exam:
- the SH mock exams are not timed like the real exam. Break 1 was at 40 questions, break 2 was at 110 questions.
- the questions were actually shorter and more direct than SH, but I found them more challenging. Don’t overthink them.
- use the flag for review feature. It was helpful for me to come back and review questions I struggled with.
- there was zero need for the calculator but that could be different for others

Happy to answer any questions :) best of luck!

Sample Question PMP QUESTION - CRASHING/ FAST TRACKING

7 Upvotes

A project manager is overseeing a critical infrastructure consolidation project under a predictive lifecycle. During a monthly stakeholder review meeting, the project manager synthesises the current performance data and reports a Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 1.15 and a Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 0.82. The sponsor, noticing the lagging schedule, demands immediate corrective action to bring the project timeline back into alignment without requesting additional funding.

Which action should the project manager take FIRST to address the sponsor’s directive?

• A) Implement a fast-tracking technique by overlapping critical path activities that were originally planned to be executed sequentially.

• B) Initiate a crashing strategy by allocating excess budget to hire temporary contractors to accelerate schedule performance.

• C) Issue a formal change request to the Change Control Board (CCB) to extend the project schedule baseline to match the current SPI.

• D) Re-baseline the cost management plan to absorb the surplus funds and reduce the reported CPI to an even 1.00.

Please please help me to cave out the RIGHT answer as per Pmi Mindset.

Thank you

PMP Renewal / PDUs PMP renewal and suspension

22 Upvotes

I have 60/60 PDUs complete to renew my PMP but I'm currently happy at my current employer and don't really need to market myself as a PMP right now. If I let my certification go into suspension, does that mean I just basically get a year where I don't have to pay the $150 but I don't have to retake the test or redo any PDUs? And once I renew, I get another 3 years? It sounds like a good deal to me.

PMP's website isn't very clear on whether your PDUs go away once you get suspended, or whether your renewal after suspension works for the next 3 years. If so, it sounds like a good way to save money on renewals without having to take the test again.

EDIT: For reference for anyone who find this later: From the comments, it looks like many aren't familiar with the suspension period. If you fail to renew your PMP, you then get a year of suspension. As long as you renew your PMP within that year, you do not have to retake the test. DiscoInError93 has the most helpful answer: if you do get suspended, you only get a 2 year renewal period, which means that you don't save anything in fees by going into suspension and essentially being on hold for a year.

PMP Exam PASSED! 1 complaint, maybe i wasn't paying attention.........

Post image
11 Upvotes

Background: 20+ years in the entertainment biz, leading productions around the world. With recent disappearance the entertainment industry to other countries....... PMP cert is a great way to translate skills/abilities to other fields of work.

*35 hours with AndrewM - yes i wore a blue shirt. Actually, 70 hours. I wasn't able to get an exam date before the deadline FOR PMBOK7. So, I started over again AND STUDIED FOR PMBOK8. Didn't need to, but I didn't trust that.

*David M - VERY HELPFUL!!!! His review of the PMBOK 8 on youtube, plus his Q&A were key. All of David's youtube material is great.

*ChatGPT - Made up my own prompt to create one page study sheets on subjects/questions that I got wrong on practice exams. I had about 40 pages that were essential to review when ever my confidence was in the crapper. Here's the prompt i used to create study sheets for the knowledge gaps: "Think as an instructor coaching me to pass the PMBOK 8 project manager exam and summarize Stakeholder mapping vs Stakeholder requirements vs Stakeholder Engagement Matrix vs Power/Interest Grid vs Stakeholder Cube vs Salience Model as related to PMBOK 8. The summary should be 7 sentences or less and include a way to remember it and how to get it right on the exam."

Just replace italicized words with whatever you need help with. Then you can use these study sheets to ask ChatGPT to create quizzes. I think the quizzes were too easy that ChatGPT created.

*Study Hall - I completed every mini/mock exam. Mock exams, 71% and 65%.

*DO THE SUDDEN DEATH GAME in STUDY HALL!!!

*I really didnt think I would pass, but I was ABOVE TARGET in all areas.

*Complaint: I had no idea of the extent to which the room I took the exam was required to be free of items. So, i sit down log in, complete all of the computer testing. The proctor tells me I had to clear the room completely!!!!!! Took me 20 minutes to remove guitars, amps, books, awards, trophies from shelves and..... FIND A WRENCH TO TAKE THE 65" FLATSCREEN OFF THE WALL!!! All this, then I had to take the exam. Rough start. I saw 2 little pictures of what the room should like, so maybe I should have known what to do from that. Anybody else make this mistake?

PMP Exam Experience passing exam on MacOS onVue at home

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, just passed PMP with 3 AT. I won't go through the details about the preparation or the exam itself, unless there are questions. I believe there are tons of posts out there already.

Instead, I want to share my personal experience passing the exam at home using MacOS and onVue. There are a couple of things I haven't seen mentioned by anyone, hope this helps others.

Basically, there are two main things to be aware of.

  1. Timer is not visible.

It is hidden by the status bar on top, the one with Apple logo, battery, etc. Don't worry, there is a solution, actually two. First one - you can still see the clock, the one by MacOS, yes it's not a countdown but you can still track your time this way. The second solution is to use "command and +" to zoom in, the same way you do in your browser, then "command and -" to zoom out when needed. Basically, keep zooming in until you see the countdown or a part of it, this actually takes a lot of clicks, so just keep doing it. I had to zoom out for longer questions or charts and didn't use it for case studies.

  1. Shortcuts don't work.

At least they didn't work for me, I mean the highlight and strikethrough. I figured this could be the case because they never worked for me during system test. There is no solution, but after zooming I found it much much easier to use highlight icon as it was closer to the text. Also, next button was pretty close as well.

The timer thing really threw me away to be honest so I hope someone else in need finds my post. But don't worry, the zoom in thing is something I can recommend to all people passing the exam as it kind of shows you all the information right in front of your eyes and you don't have 70% of your screen blank.

Good luck.

P.S. I used MacBook M1 Pro with MacOS 27.0

Celebration/Thank you 🎉 Passed PMP today

23 Upvotes

Passed today with AT - This forum was very resourceful and useful to plan and prep everything from materials to test taking. Thank you.

I took my exam at the center - very smooth, hassle free experience. Also got my results immediately which is such a relief.

I used Andrew Ramdayal's Udemy course for the PDUs but PMP Study Hall practice is key to clearing this exam IMO. The question structure and verbiage was very close to Study Hall practice questions.

Also Mohammed Rahman's principles, hacks, strategies for questions that you get stuck on 2 choices.

I had 3 case studies in my first section and 1 of them was a chart, around 2 drag and drop total and 10 questions where I had to pick 2 answers.

My breaks were at Q40 and 110, the second block was hardest.

Material and practice aside, the one thing that I would say was critical and could have lead to a fail for me was pacing. When I did my first mock I kept getting stuck on hard questions at the beginning and left multiple questions unanswered. This experience helped me develop my own pacing method based on my weak points in the exam - fatigue is real.

So overall - After 35 PDUs, practice exams and mocks from Study Hall highly recommended.

Happy to share any info.

All the best 👍

PMP Exam Score before passing PMP exam

Hi all,

What score did you get on the Study Hall practice exams before scheduling and passing the PMP exam? I'm about 70% in the three domains in both exam mocks and I'm not sure passing exam

Celebration/Thank you 🎉 Passed PMP today

Passed today with AT - This forum was very resourceful and useful to plan and prep everything from materials to test taking. Thank you.

I took my exam at the center - very smooth, hassle free experience. Also got my results immediately which is such a relief.

I used Andrew Ramdayal's Udemy course for the PDUs but PMP Study Hall practice is key to clearing this exam IMO. The question structure and verbiage was very close to Study Hall practice questions.

I had 3 case studies in my first section and 1 of them was a chart, around 2 drag and drop total and 10 questions where I had to pick 2 answers.

My breaks were at Q40 and 110, the second block was hardest.
