Hello Andrew,
Thank you so much for posting this.
I was looking for help with time management during exam and this video is really helping me with the preparations... We all are really grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with us..
Thank you Andrew! yesterday I passed my PMP certification , this video really helped in time management ! & Most important 10 Minutes Break Strategy !
Peace Greeting Andrew,
It's a great piece of video presentation. Very useful, well explained, clear visual, excellent advice for me. Thank you and it's very helpful for my PMP exam preparation.
Kind regards
M.Nor
Thanks for the tips. Really helpful.
Time management in PMP exam was a crucial factor to crack the exam, thanks Mr.Andrew for this video for explaining the importance of time allocation for each session of 60 question and OMG those 2 -10mins break was a life saver. Break time helped a lot to relax, refresh the mind and get on with next session. Cleared my PMP exam with 3AT's . Thanks a lot, you are awesome 😊
Congratulations and celebrate well
I would like to thanks for all your videos and tips, today I passed the PMP and all your advice were on point.
Great job!
Hello Andrew. I passed my PMP with 3 AT in 3 domains. Mindset was really helpful in answering questions. I had also revised the ECO domains video before exams too. Thank you a lot!
Congrats
Thanks for your advice! I cleared my PMP with above target Your tips really helped me to manage the time.
Congrats
Hi Andrew. This video is a good way to prepare for the PMP Exam. Indeed, during my exam, I was not fully aware of the average time allocated for each 60 questions pack. And, after the second break, I had 60 minutes remaining to answer 60 questions. And, 1 minute / question is quite short and I had to hurry to give an answer for every question !! Moreover, I didn't take the first break (as you can say you do not want to take it) and at the end, it was a mistake, because it was tough to finish the second batch of questions !! Anyway, even with that, I passed my exam. To conclude, I have two pieces of advice for people who didn't take the exam yet: 1/ be aware of the time you have for each batch of 60 questions and 2/ take your breaks (to breathe / drink / ...).
Are the questions mixed or lesson based. Which book is important to ref..pl suggest
Thanks for making this video
Thanks for your continued insights Andrew, I have just passed my PMP.
Congratulations and celebrate well
Thank u very much Andrew I passed my exam and took ur brilliant course. Finished my exam 10 mins earlier . All domains above target. Great teacher.
Congrats 👏
I completed Andrew's course in Udemy and watched some of his recorded CZcams sessions. It made a big difference. Today I passed my PMP above target in all areas. Mindset is key.Thank you Andrew, don't like cake but I did have some wine!
Congrats
Congratulations. Inspiring ❤
Wanted to say thank you Andrew ! I passed last Tuesday with above target !
Congrats, well done.
What did you study with? How many times have you taken PMP in the past if at all
Any Qs on the agile methods which are not Scrum, XP, Kanban and Lean?
Your videos was a great help in my PMP preparation. I finally passed the PMP exam with above target in all sections and I wanted to thank you for all the effort to you made for all the PMP aspirant. 😊
Congratulations and celebrate well
Thank you so much for this video. I toked my exam today and I did exactly what said. Every break I take I remember your all 12 minutes. I ran out of time on my third section on the exam. But I managed to answer 170 questions and the rest random selection in 59 sec. again thank you for this video. Quick update exam count down from 230 and 10 minutes breaks are not counted.
Ooh yes I passed.
Congrats
Exam fatigue is a excellent nugget!!!
Hi Andrew
Kindly suggest major changes in recent pattern and % pass marks
I have passed my pmp a week. But I made a major mistake in analysing the break time. I went for the break and spent around 10 mins there not realising that time is running out. When I came back I just had 115 mins to solve 120 questions. I did not realise that I had utilised more than 60 minutes to complete the first set.
Hi Andrew! 2 Questions only ( If anyone knows the answer to the below, please jump in )
-Would I be allowed to review study materials during the breaks ?
-Is the timer representing in minutes eg : 75 minutes OR will it show 1:15 minutes
Thank you so much - Regards !
Please I would like to know if thoses breaks are given also for procored exams? I'll pass the PMP exam soon and i would like to be sure about it. Thank you.
Hi Andrew, great content. Should I be concerned if I am answering questions inside of 30 seconds? I don't want to feel like I am rushing, or relying on "instinct"; however, I don't want to spend too much time and start second guessing myself either. What are your thoughts?
30 seconds is quick, but if you feel comfortable with your answer it's okay. I had students who finish the exam in less than 3 hours and still pass.
Does watching the instruction video during the exam take away from the time allocated in the first set of questions?
Hi Andrew.. Is your book contains agile questions also which is updated to 2021 exam pattern?
Hi Andrew, Thank you very much.. I passed my exam.. Your tips, practice questions, mindset helped a lot.. AT in all domain..
Congrats
Does PMI give partial points? Or if one gets it wrong it’s ALL wrong (e.g. dragon drop questions)

Thanks for sharing your insight. You mentioned taking food breaks, and you seem to be suggesting one would be in their own home during that period, given the proximity to food and coffee. Are the PMP exams as of Sep 2021 being conducted remotely, ie at home on your computer, vs proctored? Are there options to pick between these?
In my area you could register for either online or at a testing centre. I chose the testing centre because I didnt want to stress about the setup at home.
During the breaks..will you be able to have snacks and coffee if you carry it along with you to the center.
Do you have to have a Bachelor's degree to get an entry level job in project management if you obtain your CAPM?
I've taken Udemy courses and studied Project Management sources as well as the PMBOK. But I don't have direct industry experience. This is all theoretical knowledge, and I'm doubting whether I really understand the application of all of this knowledge. I'm worried that my lack of experience and lack of degree means my effort to learn project management is in vain. Do I have to get a degree or can I negotiate my way around a degree on PM job interviews?
Hello, thanks for this great video. Are calculators allowed? Maybe they not even be required?!
The exam has a built in calculator.
@@AndrewRamdayal Many thanks for the information!
Hi Andrew. Thank you for sharing this. What about any experience of taking the exam at home instead of going to the exam site?
It is the same layout if you are taking at home.
@@AndrewRamdayal i mean any experience & preparation of takers who did it at home
I already passed my PMP exam. Tracking time was tough for me. I knew I needed to spend no more than 1.2 minute per question. Also you can review only questions before taking a break. After break you can't go back to those questions. I'm a slow reader and I reviewed about 3 questions per session. And still I ended up not having enough time to review all marked questions at the end of my last session. I felt very tired and exhausted and wasn't thinking as clearly as in the beginning of the exam. My advice is not to count on review much. Or plan to mark no more than 3 questions per session for review.
Congrats
@@AndrewRamdayal Hi Andrew, great content. I'm a slow reader, I needed to spend more than 1.2 minute per question, while i know the concepts of the exam well. because English is my second language ,. do you have any advise about my problem? thanks for your attention
Hi Andrew; I have two questions. (1) can I shorten the break (2) the 60-question section is just your advise on how to break the exam, right? not a hard-stop. Thanks
You don't have to take the entire 10 minutes of the break, you can take less. It is a hard stop after 60 questions. The exam has the breaks within it.
I passed my exam on 12th of this month. Even after managing time I had 1 min left for the last question. Exam was really hard. Finished 1st in 82 mins, 2nd set in 79.
Be mindful it depends on the questions and how one can manage time.
👍
What happens if 1 question is wrong?
Negative marks Aplicable?
Hi Andrew, thanks for your advises and help. Just an observation for those who will take the test online from home/work: during the exam OR THE BREAK you are not allowed to left the webcam view. Leaving the webcam view is not allowed for any reason. So, doing push ups on this exam format might not be a good idea.
Once again, thanks a lot!
That cant be true. How are you supposed to take a bathroom break without leaving the webcam view
@@willf1849 It is true, believe me! 3 weeks ago I took my exam online. During the first break I stand up and went to drink water. When I came back they (PearsonVEU) revoke my exam because I leave the web cam view. I had to pay again for retaking the exam.
I was surprise, but yes: leaving the webcam view is not allowed for any reason (not even during the break).
Sorry to hear that. I took the online proctored exam today and I was able to leave the webcam view during my break. I did ask the proctor prior to starting the exam whether that was ok and he said yes. I suggest checking with the proctor
@@willf1849 Glad you could take your PMP exam. Congrats!
That’s a good suggestion: ask the proctor.
That is not true.One of the main reasons to have breaks is that you can go to the washroom. Otherwise, proctors would be forced to have an ugly sight of applicants getting creative to meet physiological needs.
Hello Andrew,
This would be really helpful. In case we are taking exam online, can we go outside the room, away from camera or we have to be continuously in front of camera? Also, can we use pen, paper, calculator during exam?
On your breaks you can leave the camera
Hey Andrew. Does the exam require submitting the answers after answering the first 60 questions? Or do we just take a break and then come back to resume where we left off ?
If it mandates, do we need to answer all the first 60 questions?
After 60 click next
Hi Andrew,
1. can I eat during the exam?
2. Can the exam run on corporate network?
1. Yes you could.
2. I am not sure. The security on the network might affect the exam. Best to do it at home.
Does the timer count down during the exam or count up from zero? Also does the exam use the hour format or minutes format?
For example if it the minutes format and its counting down. Using your 80-80-70 rule should look like this.
End of 60 questions = 150min left
10 min break
End of 120 questions = 70 min left
10 min break
End of 80 questions = 0min left
It counts down from 230. I just did an updated video on this topic. Check out my latest video.
Anybody here knows if the exam timer runs from 0 min or 230 min(from behind ) ?
It counts down from 230 - 0.
@@AndrewRamdayal Thanks for answering Andrew. I was looking for an answer to this question.
What is the weightage of agile?
Alot!
If you take the PMP online, it is torturous as you can't even move your face outside the screen parameter; if you drink a lot of coffee and soda before the exam; it is painful! The exam is easy-focus on the Agile manifesto and principles and apply them to every question on the exam!
How much time did it take for preparation.
I mean total number of hours
@@aamiraasim5580 It can take from a few days 4-5 hours a day to months-depending on your exposure to Project Management Practices and exposure!
👍
Thanks
