I just wrote and passed the exam with AT in all 3 domains. I have to say that while I studied all the 3 guides noted above, and took your mock exam course on udemy along with 2 others (A. Ramdyal and another), the questions in my exam weren't what I expected. Not much ITTO / predictive content. I'd say 80% of the exam focused on agile, hybrid, tailoring, human resources, communication and stakeholder management skills. Lots of situational questions. No calculations. One drag and drop. Overall a bit confusing in the sense that there wasn't enough time to reflect on my choices - I had to quickly understand the question and provide instinctive responses in order to maintain my pace. Finished all exam questions with 30 seconds remaining. The score was provided right away. Hopefully this helps someone in their exam prep! Good luck to all!
Congratulations ! This is gold information ! thanks for sharing. Shelly would you be able to recall any 2 questions of Agile, Hybrid and tailoring segment ?
Hi Mk, Shelly: Please note that it's against PMI Ethics & Code of Conduct to recall questions from the test and post on social media in any form. So I would suggest to refrain from doing such things.
Ray, thanks for the response and heads-up! 😊 Your mock exam questions and UA-cam videos were very helpful by the way. My sincere thanks for everything 🙏🏼. Great content.
Passed my exam today with AT in all three areas! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP! You’ve been a great resource from the start helping me with my application and thought the studying process. I really appreciate the support!
Hello Catherine, Many many congratulations for achieving this milestone in your career! It is all because of your hard work & dedication...enjoy the achievement! Welcome to the club...

Hi Priyanka, if you have 3 weeks till the exam day, it's plenty of time to read some specific parts of PMBOK-7 that I mention in the mapping document (part of my Udemy course, hopefully you are registered there). At max it will take you 3-4 days to read up the important areas of PMBOK-7 which I recommend...
Dear Mr Ray .. i have purchased your mock simulator course of on udemy and currently reading Kenneth R for essential scrum as per your advice for preparation. Kenneth R is a really good textbook but it lacks a questionnaire, unlike rita book. Can you plz suggest how we can check our learning progress as we read through Kenneth R book?
I signed up for Spoto PMP training per your recommendation and was not able to use training on my laptop computer, only my smartphone. They told me they would work on it. I like your content but would suggest you reconsider recommending Spoto. Not as easy to use!

Their learning platform is 'app only' at the moment and can be accessed not only from smart phone, but also from tablets. The offering is not on PC/computer yet.

Hi Ray! I’ve completed 2 mock exams from the same provider and scored well (above 80 on both). Should I take a mock exam from a different provider or am I ready for the PMP once I’ve gone thru your steps of analyzing the mock exams I’ve already taken?
Hi Catherine. It depends how much time is left for the exam. If it's > 2 weeks still..definitely condier taking another mock from a different education provider (must be an authentic one). However, if it's only >2 weeks left, you now need to consolidate your prep, revise error logs, analyze the previous mocks etc.
Hello Ray Sorry to be out of context but I have my PMP and if you remember you helped me A LOT you are my favorite coach. I am asking you if you can refer me to DASM for me to practice. I have my PMP & PMI-ACP. Thank you 🙂

Unfortunately, I don't know much about DASM, please check within your network if somebody is able to provide you the required training. Wish you all the best for your career.

Hello Naveen. Since I mentioned that PMBOK 6th edition will remain important for 2022, the 10 KA's also remains important. Mind that 50% of the exam is still predictive.
Hi Arun, PMBOK7 is not a free book available to download. You either need to purchase it from Amazon, or get a 1-yr PMI membership ($139) and you get PMBOK6, PMBOK7 and APG for free.
Ok. Thank you. One more question, do we need to study both 6 & 7th edition this year or 7th edition have additional content along with content present in 6th edition?
PMBOK-6 needs to be studied in full. Only specific topics needs to be studied from PMBOK-7 if you want to save time. I mention those topics in my 'mapping document' as part of my Udemy course. Check it here: www.udemy.com/course/pmp-exam-situational-question-practice-test-200-q-pmbok6/?referralCode=6E0209F2D1951242E85A
