I passed the PMP exam on 10/28/23 on the first attempt with AT in all 3 sections. It was 95% scenario based questions and the entire time I had David's voice in my head while I read the questions. I suggest watching all of the Waterfall and Agile questions videos if you want to pass as well. Many thanks David!

[@snehalis.9235]

Please suggest if you referred any other channel or dumps or book?

[@DougDougersons]

@@snehalis.9235 I just passed as well and it is almost all scenario based questions. PMI Study Hall is a great resource and so is PM Training's mock exams. I thought the exam was going to ask some questions such as "What is the Salience Model?" Did not happen it was all situational based.

[@naailaahmad5106]

Is the CAPM exam like this as well?

[@CorlettoNZ]

Passed the PMP exam today with AT in all three categories. Dozens of hours spent watching David lay out his logic and thought process was extremely helpful! It enabled me to attack each question with a 'definitely not......strong maybe....let's see if there's a better one' attitude. Some of the questions are deliberately worded to weed out those not paying attention, and I think the way David teaches this content enables you to identify the right choice. Thanks David - I'll be back when it's time to scrub up on the latest best practice.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Congratulations Jacob! These skills are like a super power that will help you see things others can not in the workplace. You have achieved something truly great 🙂

[@mybluecheck]

Hi Jacob..could you plz share exam prep plans if you have any. TIA

[@duduwes]

Hello Dave, thanks a lot for sharing. In terms of Q26, my understanding is since the requirements are clear, the scope of work should be clear as well (waterfall) but solution ideas are uncertain which sounds like a hybrid approach.

[@Chan-hd4qx]

I got the PMP results today and I passed it! The exam questions series are extremely helpful. Thanks so much David!

[@thomasstrandquist]

Best PMP personality on KZbin hands down. These videos are fun to watch and I look forward to your commentary on the questions and answers.

[@kenancollu4683]

I am preparing PMP exam, there is lots of you tube canal but most of them say nothing just doing own advertisement. However David you are making wonderful lessons thanks.

[@deedee6460]

Agreed

[@tonyjin1620]

Got 8 out of 10 correctly. Wow, 12:53 Question 25 was reaaaaally tricky for me, but now I get context really matters. (ex: Agile is not feasible to reengineer a single process) 26:09 Question 30 was a great one too since it reminded me that all these different methods are basically different ways to go through the general product design cycle. Leaving this notes for me to review later.

[@avikmullick953]

Mr.David, I have passed my PMP and Thank you very much for simplifying and sharing the knowledge. I have watched all your videos multiple times to refresh the concepts and they were really helpful in passing the exam as AT,AT,T.

[@katharinesobotka2527]

I passed the PMP test today and I am sure it's all because of your videos. Thank you for your clear explanations and your positive attitude. The whole test I just kept thinking "What would David say?"

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Well done and congratulations on passing your PMP! 🙂

[@craignewman3697]

By taking practice tests provided by PMTraining and listening to your videos, I passed with 3/3 AT today. I'll be recommending your channel to my peers. Thank you for the awesome content!

[@davidmclachlanproject]

That is awesome news Craig, congratulations on passing your PMP 🙂 and with 3AT, amazing!

[@rafaeldherrera]

Hello! I am scheduled for the end of May. I am currently using the study techniques you are. Did these alone help get you there? Any tips for using PMTraining? Did you have any of the new question types like matching and hot zones? Sorry for the barrage of questions, just a tad nervous but pushing through.

[@carolienvandenberg4470]

Hello David I am Caroline from France (Paris) I want To thank toi for ami your vidéos and tips. Thanks to ami that I passed my PMP EXAM. Thanks again. Toi see so cool. Wishing you à wonderful 2023 To you and your FAMILY. Stay safe.

And a wonderful 2023 to you also - congratulations on passing your exam! :-)

[@hamedmiralam9973]

Thanks so much David- you are great! I am learning for the PMP exam on the side while being on paternal leave!

[@pavitmaharaj3894]

Stumbled on this today because i'm starting a new journey into Project Management with the end goal being my PMI PMP certification. Really enjoyed the way you move through the content David. Cheers mate!

[@meriuwi1]

I watched these videos for two weeks and I can’t explain how helpful and eye opening they were. I recommend these videos 100%. I passed my exam after failing the first time. Also have your pmbok so you can read in detail for every question. Thank you so much for these videos, I highly recommend.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Thank you, and congratulations to you on passing your exam! 🙂

[@radiagulzan]

Congrats! Which pmbok are you referring to here as "his pmbok"?

[@ranjusharma4690]

I have passed my PMP and Thank you once again for simplifying and sharing the knowledge. I have watched all your videos and revisited them to refresh the concepts.

[@and5336]

Hi David, I passed my PMP yesterday. A huge thank you to your videos and your process of answering questions. I found that very valuable during my preparation and exam. THANK YOU.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

That is amazing news - congratulations on gaining your PMP!

[@sriramvenkatesh4201]

Excellent. The ability to connect is so good.

[@minishubham]

Thanks alot david.. i have passed my PMP exam today. Your guiding voice did it again. All i did was follow what would david say about this & achieved above yarget in all three domains. Keep guiding the world of project managers.

[@mahmoudatwa3564]

Great Video, Thanks a lot!

[@MisterStubstep]

Another 8/10 learning more and more. Thank you

[@venkateshlenkalapally4035]

You are fantastic.. 👏 I am super confident to go for the exam now 🙂

[@dimacedars5889]

For Question number 1 at 0:22. How do we even know if an organization has a functional manager? Maybe it is Project Oriented Organization where is no functional manager?

[@vcalesco]

8/10 - missed 24 and 25. Thx for the class, David!

[@abdelrahmanelsherbiny8833]

Thank you David, this is quite useful

[@natasn7500]

so far best presentation of PMP questions! It's a treasure for free.......

[@semnaresh8339]

7/10 thanks Davide , im really learning great by your valuable videos.

[@alaguvairamuthu7029]

good information and new learning

[@godwinprojectmanagement]

Great videos as usual! Hi David, please what sort of tech or tool do you use for your presentation? I have a lecture to deliver and I would like to use your style of delivery. 🙂thanks!

[@yoganector6859]

Thanks for your wonderful resources. Each explanation helps to understand the concept. I am wondering if you could do a series on SHL SJT test

[@dimacedars5889]

David. At 2:58 You say that you might not know if the scope was previously approved. But the question says that the extra scope that the marketing department added is unrelated to the current project. It means the scope was not approved. Could you please explain it?

[@malappuramkaka65]

teaching with a smile always ... 🙏

[@shaluajit]

Dear David, for the first question, am with you that open dialogue is a good option. But in this case its the marketing manager who has added the scope.. how will discussion with functional manager help?

[@snowampire]

I'm really tired of those kind of tricky questions, david, thank you very much, this video was in the exact vision of the pmp exam (!) I have an exam this Saturday, if I don't pass, I don't plan on paying again. :(

[@shreyasichakraborty3292]

7/10, ❤ the questions

[@abngi2755]

David, your videos are very helpful. do you recommend the pmbok 6th edition or 7th edition for the 2023 pmp exam? I appreciate your assistance.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Good question. PMBOK 6 (now the process groups practice guide) is a step by step process for project management. I would combine that with the Agile practice guide. The PMBOK 7 is like a high level overview of project management and its general principles. I would still read it, if you can. I have a 1 hour video on it. The best prep is to do practice exams, and the exam is 70% Agile and Hybrid. You can do it!

[@nathandelane1440]

⁠@@davidmclachlanprojecthi David. Great videos. I’m just starting to utilize them as prep for testing. Where are the practice exams located that were mentioned? There’s so many things out there, I want to ensure I’m looking at the right exam.

[@wuishaw737]

It was postponed in China and not sure the exact date for the next time. Keeping pace with David, which made me confident for the exam whenever it will be hold.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

You can do it! I believe in you.

[@farzan4allll]

great david

[@brahmiimen3804]

Thank you so much ;) where can i find the previous question pleases ?

[@martinaadet5041]

Hello David, I want to take my exam by mid-may. I would like you to kindly advice and help me out

[@fabioloyola4788]

Hi David - I found your channel a quick question. In the Udemy the course is 23 hours. However, we do need 35 hours. Could you please confirm how to build up the remaining hours? Or how to proof to PMP during the application that although your course is 23 hours is enough to cover 35 hours? I haven't seen a note like that in the description of your course in the Udemy. Thanks a lot.F.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Yes, the content is intentionally kept efficient, and the remaining hours are covered by the included 500 practice questions (easily 12 hours with one or two goes studying the answers), which embed the Process Groups, PMBOK 7, and Agile Practice Guide perfectly 🙂 Edit: The included certificate of completion for the course notes the full hours.

[@juanjanse6782]

Hi David, can you confirm that if I write the exam in the next 3 weeks that I can expect questions from the 7th edition. Thanks

[@davidmclachlanproject]

From what I have heard - the questions are now 70% Agile / Hybrid based. PMBOK 7 is like a high level overview of project methods and needs, with a servant leadership focus - so it fits and it will all help. The PMBOK 6 / Process group practice guide is a more step by step / waterfall approach. I prefer this for real-world work, but the exam itself is more agile.

[@tasha9650]

Do you recommend getting Pmbok 6the edition if I already have the 7th edition? I also have the UMASS Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma Course.

[@tasha9650]

It's just seems like its so much information its hard to know where to start to study.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

PMP (delivering change) will be a very good compliment to SSBB (critical thinking). The PMBOK 6th Ed. was replaced by the Process Groups Practice Guide, so it is still relevant (plus it's basically a step by step process, which I love). Good luck!

[@tasha9650]

@@davidmclachlanproject You're the best! Thank you!!! Now, I'm honestly a BEGINNER BEGINNER so please don't get upset at my next dumb question lol. Is that apart of the 7th edition (pmp change management) ? Or do you recommend a certain one? I have the 7th but just started reading it yesterday and my course wasn't making too much sense to me...I've understood things better from you, honestly.

[@tasha9650]

And let me add that the course also has PMI so I'm doing the PMI part 1st then the Green & then Black Belt...And it has other things like Minitab ect.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

Oh sorry - I mean that the PMI-PMP qualification is about delivering projects, so delivering change or value. Change management is a part of that, but it's separate 🙂 There is a section on managing change in the PMBOK 7. You'll get everything you need from the PMBOK 6th and 7th editions (or replace 6th ed. with the Process Groups Practice Guide). The 6th ed. is my favorite because it is a step by step process. My Udemy course clarifies a lot of this and goes through it all 🙂 Good luck! You can do it!

[@ztakguod]

Questions like #30 really bother me. I read page 42 and true enough, those are the 'general phases of a lifecycle'. But it is not a framework of any kind. It gives no definition of how to run the project and the group of newbies is learning NEITHER of the two methods. So, we are using general definitions instead of a real method and hoping that these people who have no experience succeed. Seems like a disaster in the making to me. So to all of the new people working on a project with some amount of uncertain requirements, go use no method whatsoever to figure out the 'feasibility' of your project. PMI is using the test to make sure you read every page of the guide, but questions like this suggest the answers are sometimes devoid of practicality. The best answer is C - Use Agile. It handles the uncertainty well, the team's capability will increase, and there are existing coaches, references, lessons learned, and training to improve their knowledge when they have questions. Pg 42 lists the general life cycle of a project and there it stops.

[@davidmclachlanproject]

You make a fair point. Agile is good for working through uncertainty. The question says we don't know if requirements are certain or not. But the main point is a bit deeper. Waterfall or Agile, they both follow the same broad steps to deliver value. Feasibility? Whether it's a Project Sponsor in a business case, or a Product Owner prioritizing by cost/benefit, the effect is the same. We're delivering a change. Agile is just done many times, on smaller pieces. They even have similar practices, called different things. Retrospective? Or PIR / Project Post Mortem? Again, the only real difference is smaller pieces more often, for Agile. Learn the broad steps. Then learn them deeply (I suggest the PMBOK 6 or the Process Groups Practice Guide). You will come to see the names may change, but the ideas and the practices are the same.

[@bonsai7438]

Great Video.. Whats the purpose to ask tricky Question to attendees? they new in this PMP field and not yet save in their knowledges... so 1st step should be normal std Question...

[@davidmclachlanproject]

For a bit easier / more straight forward questions to ease you into it, start at the begninning of this playlist. Enjoy! :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGLHdpxria2Fhtk

[@SaveThatMoney411]

Will the exam have anything related to the sixth edition? It would be great if I don't actually have to read that 1000 page book....

[@davidmclachlanproject]

It is called the Process Groups Practice Guide now - almost exactly the same content, but streamlined, so fewer pages. If you can bear it I would still recommend you read it - it's a step-by-step process for PM and it helped me the most on my journey. It is VERY dry though 🤣
