    Passing the CAPM test is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Willard

    Took my CAPM exam last week and passed on the first try! Make sure you understand your ITTOs and do not forget to study agile/adaptive management! I had more questions than I expected on that

      I’m writing my CAPM just this Friday. I’ve read the PMBOK Guide 3 times now. The guide doesn’t really elaborate on agile/adaptive management except from the beginning where it introduces you to the types of development approaches and also at the beginning of every new knowledge area. I wonder how the agile/adaptive management questions were like

    • @LiztasticGames
      @LiztasticGames 4 роки тому +1

      Audrey Segarra Yes I took it online, and you are timed I think 150 or 180 minutes. I took my time, reread every question and answer I put, and still had about 45 minutes left over. You can also flag questions and come back to them later which is very convenient.

Thank you for your contribution anyway. It is encouraging to see you and so many others accomplish the one and done completion of the cert. Hold my beer, I'm going in. Lol

    I completely agree with you that time management is the key to achieve CAPM certification. I completed first 5 chapters but then I got busy with my work and after a few days I again started preparing from the scratch. I think I need to make a deadline for myself to be able to pass this exam. Thanks for your tips though

  • @jasonfisher142

    Question about Exam Questions. I am seeing a lot of conflicting information online. Is the exam more based on definitive values, ie. "Which Plan Schedule Management tool or technique may involve choosing strategic options to estimate and schedule the project", or are they more situational base like "You are on a conference call and one of the callers has a co-worker talking in the background. This is a type of___?". I know they are all multiple choice.

    • @pursuitsprojects977
      @pursuitsprojects977  4 роки тому

      Hey Jason! In my experience, I encountered a mix of both definitive and situational-type questions, but more definitive ones. As Liz said above: those types of questions heavily focused on the ITTOs and on agile/adaptive methodology. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for your video explanation. Probably more details about what the exam was like could help in another video? MAIN REASON TO REACH OUT: Are the practice quizzes you suggest really reflective of the Questions on the CAPM exam? Crazy question but I must ask because it seems I have been studying the PMP exams and they may be quite different than the CAPM!!

      Hi Renee! I completed my 23 hours online with the University of Toronto through their project management continuing studies. The course was great, and I received my hours after taking 1 out of the 3 courses in the PM certificate. You can also get it through other means of education, like through project management programs/seminars/workshops. Hope this helps!

      Hey Annabelle! 3 months + a full time job was pushing it a little for me, especially if something came up on the weekend. There's a lot of material to cover, so two months is definitely ambitious (but not impossible). Studying during the pandemic might be easier though, considering there's not much going on!

      @dshana762 3 роки тому

      J Mariah Well I’ve been self studying an exam prep, just to clarify, by Belinda Goodrich. I am not in PM, so yeah it’s definitely hard. I’m a hands on learner and I at least need to be engaged, so just studying by myself, for long periods is rough. I downloaded Pocket Prep, but then got rid of it, because either my exam prep book didn’t align with Pocket Prep , or Pocket Pre didn’t align with my book. At least in the sense that, the subjects Pocket Prep was testing me on, would have the same title as some sections in my book, but the book hadn’t necessarily, covered that information yet. I definitely will look into investing in the PMI Boot Camp. Thank you for your helpful response! If you have anymore tips or advice, please let me know!
