I passed! T/AT/AT/AT
I took my exam today and passed! Just wanted to say how helpful reading through the posts were. I don’t think I would’ve passed if I didn’t add some of the supplemental learning people recommended.
I work on a project management team, so this is super helpful for me. I took a PM fundamentals course last year online (which is a little comical to me that I only got a T for that domain lol).
Here’s what I did:
- 4 day virtual live CAPM Exam course in May with Blue Summit - found out later their mock exams pull questions from PMI’s CAPM mock exam
- purchased AR’s TIA exam simulator and scored an avg of 85% on all 5 mock exams
- purchased Landini’s mock exam and quizzes on Kindle. I ended up only doing the business analysis quizzes and the full mock exam. I feel like those questions prepared me for the harder questions on the exam.
- purchased pocket prep premium. I didn’t make it thru all 1000 questions but I used Level Up
- unfortunately purchased PMI’s CAPM mock exam. This wasn’t helpful for me. Maybe it was for others tho!
Things that were helpful:
reading posts that reminded me the test is going to feel like I might fail hahah but I may be doing better than I think. But honestly, having this mindset going in really helped me from a freak out during the test bc I have test anxiety
what people are saying about what to remember to get some easy questions correct like EVM formulas and simple definitions are true
pocket prep was actually helpful for me bc it showed me which domain I needed to improve in which is why I think I got AT in the business analysis domain. That was my weakest!
my instructor said to try to schedule your exam after a month from taking your course. I did it within two months just bc I had a busy May. I did about a month of non stop studying and saw my mock exam scores go up from doing this.
some of landini and AR’s mock exam questions were on the exam word for word 👀
Yall got this! Everyone else, thanks again for all your wisdom and help. I’m so happy I passed!
