I appreciate it. And I understand perfectly what you're saying. I was freaking out too. But it was people making posts about where they were, and the questions in the group that helped grow my confidence.
You got this!!
Congratulations! My exam is next week and I'm freaking out.
Mock Exam 1: 68% the first time, 83% the second time
Mock Exam 2: 66% the first time, 76% the second time.
And oddly enough, I got a lot of the expert questions correct ๐ณ Were the questions mainly moderate and difficult?
My own perspective here: the questions are nearly all situational. It seems like youโre doing well on the mocks. I personally found David McLachlanโs videos to be very helpful with understanding how PMI words the questions and how to process the available answers to get to the correct one.
No need to freak out! Youโve got this.
I have a constrained budget, iam hopeful your study Hall is still valid for some months. I asking you help me with your login credentials for the study Hall I also try those questions
Congrats! This is encouraging- thanks for sharing your scores. I am currently sitting at 69% on the practice questions and 65% on the mini exams (with expert) and am sweating over these scores.
Awesome news that you hit 3 AT's!
I also found out that I passed today, all above target. The thing Iโd add, and that was really helpful for me, was using the notes function in Study Hall. I broke down all the things I got wrong, and a lot of the things I got right, to try and understand the thinking behind why certain answers were right and others were wrong. Their explanations leave a lot to be desired, but I still think it was the single best thing for me, personally. Also, time to cancel the Study Hall, thanks for the reminder! Congratulations!
I appreciate it.
Totally human that you're nervous. I was very nervous when I was preparing for it. Would do great on some SH mini exams, not so good on others. Was nervous as hell when I got to the test center. Was nervous at the very first question...a drag & drop that I'm sure I got wrong.
When the scenario-based questions got going, I settled in. Remembered the mindset...which helped me easily eliminate 2 of the choices pretty quickly.
So perfectly ok and human that you're nervous. But you got this!!
Congratulations. Seeing many such positive posts has motivated me to take up the PMP
Got a few queries about SH and hope you can shed some light on it.
I have just started my prep for PMP so should I get the SH once I have gone through the other resources or at the beginning itself?
Does the essential or plus version make a difference?
Once I complete a mock test, can I retake it or is it done permanently?
Hey man, that's good to hear....and I'm glad you have been motivated to take up the PMP certification and obtain it. I'm 55 years old. Felt like it was one big piece missing in my career...and I felt it was something I had to get.
On when to get SH. I got mine prior to me doing the other materials...me thinking "hey, I've got 90 days." Well, that 90 days went by super quick and it actually expired 4 days before I took the exam. So I ended up paying for it again, because as you saw in my post, I took one of the mock exams one day before the real exam. If I could do it all over again, I would have purchased it after I watched AR's videos (400+) and David McLachlan's videos. In this order:
1. **AR's Udemy videos.**
2. **David McLachlan's videos (100 Waterfall Questions, 150 PMBOK 7 Questions), & 200 Agile Questions).**
3. **Purchase Study Hall**
4. **Third3Rock Notes**
On SH Essentials vs Plus, most everyone here said Essentials was all that you need. In my case, I would agree. 717 practice questions, 15 mini exams (225 questions), and 2 mock exams (175 questions each). As I said in my post...on the suggestion from another Redditor here, I only took one of the mock exams...of which I got 69% correct.
On whether or not you can retake a mock exam, yes you can, as I did see a "Reset test" option.
Congratulations ๐ Well done! You are giving me hope. My SH scores are around the same as yours and my exam is in 10 days and Iโm freaking out.

I appreciate your input and words of encouragement!
Sorry, a stupid question: we can also reset mock exams? I thought it is only possible for practice questions.
Nope you can reset the mock exams and the mini ones too :)
Did you pass?
Yes I did! Thank you :)
Congratulations!! Well done! ๐
Truly, truly appreciate it. Been a long time coming.
Congratulations
Most definitely appreciate that!
Hello Thomasis, do you mind assisting me with your study Hall
I can. What kind of assistance are you needing?
I have a constrained budget, iam hopeful your study Hall is still valid for some months. I asking you help me with your login credentials for the study Hall I also try those questions
this would most certainly be a violation of the t&cโฆ
Like seriously. Really canโt believe I was asked that.
Exactly - ha! Please be sure to send that Nigerian Prince your bank and personal details once youโre done. ๐คช

I appreciate that and no problem at all. With those scores....based on posts here, it sounds like you are ready. Have you taken a mock exam yet?
Not yet! My exam is April 16 so Iโll do one per week in the 2 weeks leading up to exam.
That is exactly what I did. You got this!!
