Hi David, I watched your 200 Agile questions, 150 PMBOK7 questions and 150 waterfall questions review and I passed my PMP exams at above target in all 3 field on the 20th of April 2023. Thank you so much.

Hi David, I hope u still remember me (Susan). I was talking to u about how nervous I was taking the PMP exam, but u encouraged me, and I watched your 200 agile and other videos. In short I passed my PMP exam since last year, Oct. 2022. Here I am again on ur new video. I'm literally on everything you post. 😆 Thank you very much, David. To everyone out there, no mountain is too high to climb. Just be determined and surround yourself with good people online or physical. I have never met David, but he is my friend 😂😅 so you are.

[@BalwinderSingh-tb8jt]

Hi David - I watched your videos to prepare for my PMP exam and I passed my exam today with Above Target score. I want to thank you for making this study more engaging that helped me develop the PMP mindset which helped me a lot during the exam.

[@london12327]

Your help have been instrumental in getting the PMP in my very first attempt. Thanks a lot. May got give you more power to change lives …

Hi, David. I passed my PMP exam with ATs in all domains. Your videos on traditional and agile project management questions were highly beneficial in preparing and creating the PM mindset. Thank you for the incredible effort.

Hi david, I cleared my PMP exam last month. I saw so many of your videos. Thank you for your guidance. Specially because your videos and short and crisp for eacg topic, when we just want to know to the point.

Hello there David, I watched your 200 Agile questions, 150 PMBOK 7 questions and 150 waterfall questions review and I passed my PMP exam on 06 August 2023. Thank you so so much! ❤❤

[@jamieslade5548]

Hi David, I just recently passed my PMP on the first attempt with above target results.........and I really need to thank you. Your videos truly helped, especially in the Agile area. Also, your words of encouragement in each video were much appreciated and helped with my mindset going into the exam. Keep doing what you're doing......you're making a difference in people's lives!

[@TheAszhani]

Hi David, like many others here I am here to say my regards. I have been on project mgm study since 2007. I was preparing on and off couple of times, but felt completely not ready, when had taken practice tests. The reading of PMBOK book always puts you in hibernating state. It was you who encouraged every time that I can pass and it really works even though you don't know me. I was able to pass my exam yesterday with above target results in all domains. Your 3 videos on Agile, Waterfall and PMBOK tests are absolute treasure. There wasn't a single same question in the exam, but your explanation helped to get the principles, and technique of removing the wrong answer helped really big. Even your pace of review helped, as the biggest challenge was to keep up with the time. With hours of practice with your videos, I was able to learn the correct pace. Or was it because I watched at 1.5 speed? maybe. All in all thank you for your help!

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Congratulations - you have achieved something truly great. Well done! 🎉🙂

[@TanyaEJ]

Thanks for the tips!

[@giftedhandsllc]

Thank you, David ... You are actually bringing out the best in Me. Remain Bless

[@johnh78]

David, I'm just one of many who have commented this, but I wanted to reach out and thank you sincerely for all of the preparation videos you've created surrounding the PMP. Like many, I scored above target on all three areas of the PMP exam today, and I know I couldn't have done that well unless I had referenced so many of your comprehensive videos surrounding agile and waterfall projects and methodology. It was pretty challenging, but I thought of your words of encouragement throughout your videos and it really helped. Thank you so much sir for all the hard work I'm sure it took to put material like this up for us to use.

[@snehaphilip5295]

You are simply awesome! Making PMP cert so much manageable.

Not eligible for pmp but want to take Capm. Haven’t been to school in so long have trouble retaining info. Trying to get better! Love your videos.

Tqvm David, i passed my pmp within 6 weeks. Your guide and videos were very helpful.

[@user-td3ix5mm1o]

David, can you make a video on how you do task management? Do you use GTD, outlook, todoist, microsoft to do... Would be really helpful to make such a video on your tips on how to manage tasks efficiently and beautifully!

[@davidmclachlanproject]

My personal task management is embarrassingly simple - I use notepad. For projects it's usually Excel, Project and something like Jira 🙂

[@user-td3ix5mm1o]

[@LuvPebbles101]

Love this technique. Thank you once again @David McLachlan.

[@leotruong425]

Hello Mr.McLachlan, I appreciated all your videos you created and shared (true servant leadership). Its been really useful in terms of mindset for engaging the problems questions, I would say 80% of the exam are scenario base questions. I passed the pmp exam today with AT for all 3 ECO! 🎉🎉🎉 Anyway, I will continue to support you, please just let us know how!😊

[@debb.7431]

awesome video

[@sonyacharie]

Passed T/T/AT; thank you for everything, David!! Family, find the time to watch all the videos on KZbin and Udemy - you will pass with 3ATs. My only regret! But, a pass is a pass! 🎉

[@lordhashimoto4035]

Love it! Can I make a suggestion, can you do a video on PMP mind map?

[@addictedtochrist44]

Hi Sir! I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m in awe as to finding the best teacher to follow through my PMP exam once I’m done with achieving the CAPM certificate. However , I was intrigued to find no videos related to securing the CAPM exam with step-by-step guide or study materials to delve in to , apart from the PMBOK 6 . Would you please recommend as to how I would be able to go about with it?

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Good question! They are generally the same materials / information - CAPM needs Predictive, Agile, and then some Business Analysis information (which is recent/new). Predictive can come from the PMBOK 6 (now the Process Groups Practice Guide), Agile can come from the Agile Practice Guide, and the business analysis information can come from the "Scope" knowledge area in the PMBOK 6/PGPG. PMI also has a "Guide to Business Analysis" if you want extra added BA information 🙂

[@sukanyaphookan7615]

I cleared my test with above target scores. Most of them were like the examples shown in your videos.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Congratulations on passing your exam 🙂🎉

[@user-ii8qf6mc4m]

Hey David - any advice for how to focus DURING the PMP exam? I'm planning to take it from my computer, but am already having a hard time focusing for long periods of time with the practice tests. Help!

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Excellent question 🙂 I've done both at home and at a test center. I personally preferred the test center for that reason. I would recommend sitting at home and listening to the sounds for a bit - I had a really loud clock (that I didn't notice until I had to concentrate!) that put me off 🤣 Apart from that, practice a few things: Long practice exams, to get used to it, and; Meditation. Try counting your breaths at home, up to 10, then restarting (or restarting if you lose count). 10 minutes a day is usually enough. In your exam, focus on your breaths (or take three deep breaths) if your mind starts to wander. During the exam if you lose focus, flag the question and move on to the next question. Don't get stuck. You can always come back to it, but remember to answer one every 1 minute and 15 seconds if you can. Superstitions also work (there's science behind this, but more than a comment can elaborate on) if you have an outfit or something that "makes you a focus superstar", wear that on the day 🙂 Remember, YOU CAN DO IT! I believe in you.

[@user-ii8qf6mc4m]

@@davidmclachlanproject Wow! Thank you so much for responding quickly! I work from home, so am used to the sounds. I'll definitely take your advice on flagging questions and not getting stuck. I find that sometimes on the practice tests I re-read the same question several times and still have no idea what it says! I'll flag and keep going to maintain pace and help with focus. I also didn't even think of what to wear! Thank you for always being so positive and encouraging! I actually finished a full PMP course and after finding you on KZbin, I purchased yours as well and have been reviewing! You're the best!

[@user-ii8qf6mc4m]

@@davidmclachlanproject Thank you again for your help! I took the PMP Exam this weekend and PASSED! I could hear your encouraging voice the whole time and these focus tips (and countless other videos) definitely helped!

Hi David, Hope all is well. Do you think that the pomodoro method can help an individual with ADHD pass a project management exam, too? Please advise. Thank you, sir.

[@projectmillionaire4989]

Hey David! Firstly, many thanks for the most amazing content! I am a civil engineer gearing up for CAPM exam which I will take after 24th of July. However, I am finding it hard to grasp the concepts of PMBOK 7. The information presented in it overwhelms and disorients me as it feels very generic as opposed to engineering which was very technical. Could you help me in this regard by sharing your most valuable input? Thanks and Regards!!

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Much respect to you! You are doing the right things. Start with the Process Groups Practice Guide (previously the PMBOK 6). It is a process, step by step, and outlines where everything fits together (which is why I love it the most). But it's also pretty big. Once you have a handle on that, the PMBOK 7 will make more sense 🙂

[@projectmillionaire4989]

​@@davidmclachlanproject Thanks a lot David!! This should help a lot and again much regards for your most valuable assistance!

[@fatfiss4629]

Hi David. I finished your course on UDEMY to get 35 contact hours for my application for PMP. But on the certificate, it is mentioned 25h. Is this OK with PMI? Are they accepting it or Not? Do you know if I can still use it? please confirm. I would like to submit it this week. Thank you and thanks for the amazing explanation.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Hi, congrats on completing the course! Please go to the end, under "Wrapping up the course" there are instructions for your personalized certificate showing the 35 hours. Udemy's default certificate only shows the time for the videos 🙂
