[@artistdigital]

Hi Olga, How much time did you take to prepare? How did you find the real exam compared to a Andrew's mock exams?

[@Olga_Only]

Hi 👋 I prepared about 2.5 months before the exam. I found Andrew’s mock exams a simpler version of the real exam, but if you know the mindset (it’s in Andrew’s Udemy course) - you’ll get the logic behind the question and answers on the exam as well. I think his mock exam is the closest version to the exam, the questions are just shorter.

[@prashantl556]

Thanks Olga for wonderful exam. Do you think both udemy courses are required ? or just Andrew's course is enough ? Does he cover details about PMP application process tips.

[@Olga_Only]

You’re welcome! Yes, Andrew covers the details about PMP application. I think that his course and TIA tests are enough to pass the exam!

[@hassan-7001]

Thanks 🙏

[@اكلتيوفكرتيمعمروهعشري]

Do you think I should go directly to Andrew course in Udemy or I should start with Sabri’s course first ?

[@Olga_Only]

I think that Andrew course should be enough. Sabri was giving a lot of information that you don’t really need on the exam. Andrew is focusing on what to expect on the exam much more!

Hello! Thank you 🙏 I spent about 2.5 months before the actual exam. I also downloaded some apps with tests and used them when I’m in the sky train or the bus. But after I found Andrew - I didn’t do anything but his course and tests. I didn’t pay for anything else.

Hi Ahmed! Thank you! I recommend you to understand these abbreviations for sure. It’s not like there many questions about it, but 2-3 questions can make a difference in your result.

Hi Olga.. I have a few queries if you could answer. (1) How many mocks did u attempt & from where did u give this mocks? (2) Do you suggest to become PMI member or directly register for PMP exam? If yes, what are the extra benefits that a candidate is eligible while being a member of PMI apart from accessible PMBOK books.

[@Olga_Only]

Hi Sangeet! 1. 5 mocks. In the video I said about TIA institute from Andrew. This is where mock exams are. There is also a practice mode on the PMI website, not bad for practice, but the first option is better. 2. The point is that if you will pass from the first attempt - the price for the exam and fee for the membership as a PMI member is equal to the price when you are not a PMI member and pay for the exam. I didn’t use any other resources as a member, didn’t find it necessary. Only the practice questions that I told you about in the 1st question

I'm considering pursuing my PMP certification and I am following Udemy courses of Andrew, which I find to be the best online courses with clear explanations. I currently work as a PMO for a program and I'm a bit concerned about how to highlight this role in my PMI application form. Can I refer to it as a project manager role? And also if you have any tips regarding this part I will be grateful Thanks

[@Olga_Only]

Hello! You can definitely use this experience to highlight it as management experience. I’m not sure if it’s a project manager but I think that if you write PMO and explain your actions at work using PMP work - it should work! Regarding the part 1 - I read questions 2-3 times, but I did it very fast and tried to find the main keywords. I used elimination method and applied Andrew’s mindset to pick the best answer

[@ramkiran1079]

Hey thank you. I am in the right path I directly followed RAMDAYAL course and simulator. Question I have is how big are questions in the first section, hope many sentences in the biggest question. Are the choices are also big? How long did you take to complete the first section?

Hey Ram! It’s about 5 sentences as I remember. But the most important part is always in the question (last sentence). The choices are not big. The first section took more time then the other 2 for me. I think that I spent around 50 minutes on the first section.
