PMP 2021 Exam Prep

Apropos of nothing, but gosh the rebranded certificate is U-G-L-Y.

Edit: I just keep my original one from 2017 in my office. It's not too loud.

What does the previous one look like?

I thought about framing my certificate but it seemed kinda pointless.

Looks like this:

I only framed mine bc I found a freebie 8.5x11 frame in the trash bin at work so I figured why not.

Took the PMP today.




... and a pass with flying colors!

I concur with @ChebyshevII PE PMP - Andrew Ramdayal's courses were incredibly helpful. I also purchased Rita's book, but also do not feel like I would have been 100% prepared.

I did feel that the exam was a bit easier (less trick questions) than the mock exams that I took leading up to the test. I was easily able to eliminate 2 answers on almost all the questions, and some all but one, using the Mindset outlined in Andrew's courses.

Geez, you did exactly the same stuff and had exactly the same opinions I had? Maybe I should check to make sure we're not actually the same person...

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!

I couldn't even finish reading the PMBOK or the Agile guide that PMI has on their website... I didn't even get 25% of the way through Rita's book TBH. But Andrew's course and book were lifesavers!

I didn't bother to read PMI's material, I chose instead to finish through Rita's book (as much of a pain as it was). I feel like I made the right choice for my own needs. But I should probably read the PMBOK and Agile guide now...

I dunno .... my org only pays $50/month in certification pay for the PMP. That doesn't go very far in doggie rewards. At least I get $100 for the PE.

I only put PMP in my e-mail signature, just because it's internationally recognized, and PE is not. But we don't have to go down the e-mail signature rabbit-hole.
