Right now I am not getting them all right, but I only began doing this on Tuesday after finishing the 35 hours on Saturday night. The other thing I'm doing is I have a spreadsheet where I make myself write the 49 PMBOK processes from version 6 of the PMBOK guide, the 18 plans and 33 documents from table 4-1 of that guide (which should also include the WBS and WBS dictionary but doesn't!), the 4 values and 12 principles of Agile, plus the 12 EVM formulas. In the exam simulator I needed to read the questions much more carefully, they were more wordy and designed more to catch you out if you don't read the question thoroughly and sometimes read between the lines (like the same process using a different term for Agile versus predictive projects and the choice of term can inform you of the right/wrong answer). I did set 1 in about 55 minutes and got 78% (47/60) but I found it much more tiring than the full mock exam from the Udemy course. The simulator gives you 6 sets of 60 questions with 75 minutes to complete each set. I did the Udemy mock exam in about 1 hour 45 minutes and got 76% (70% is the pass rate), but I found the exam simulator test more difficult. I have only done 1 of the sets so far and it's supposed to be closer to the real exam than other practice tests including the mock exam on Andrew's Udemy course. I would recommend the exam simulator as you can use 3 sets out of 6 to simulate the real exam. They usually link to coupons from a site called Lorebeam, I tend just to go to direct links from the subreddits or LinkedIn pages but I'm not sure if the Lorebeam site may be easy enough to spot new offers. If you don't find valid Udemy coupons through Google searches then try r/udemyfreebies and r/udemyfreeebies as well as Udemy Free Courses on LinkedIn. No discount on that (nearly 40 dollars) but he did say the price of that was due to go up soon (and that he doesn't set the price, it's a 3rd party that sells it for him through the site). I also got his PMP exam simulator from the TIA Exams website. Not sure if that's the case as I just followed Andrew's course so far. But so far I've only used Andrew's 35-hour course after hearing that Joseph's was very ITTO and process focused so it's a bit outdated. I got those 2 courses at a discount and another one, might have been another Andrew Ramdayal one. I can't remember what the code was but you went to the Udemy page through the website, not the app, and it was all automatically applied. The code I used also discounted a few courses. For the 35 contact hours of Andrew Ramdayal and Joseph Williams I did Google searches for 'PMP 35 hours Udemy coupon' and valid codes came up for it. Proportions may have changed recently (more situational questions, fewer process, ITTO or formula questions, higher proportion of Agile questions), but it's all within the sphere of things you would have been expected to revise anyway.įor Udemy coupons, just do Google searches. If you're studying now and looking to take your exam within the next 2-3 months (perhaps even the next 6 months) then you should be OK to continue with the study materials that have worked for people over the last year. But a wholesale change to the exams would mean a change to the Exam Content Outline which would need to be documented and candidates given fair warning about the changes. In terms of knowing when the exam will change, it should be the case that the unscored questions (5 out of 180) would be used to trial planned changes and then feedback from that would inform wider changes to the Exam Content Outline, so you may get the odd weird question that's based on version 7 of the PMBOK guide in exams over the next few months but you could expect those questions not to be scored. I'm speculating in this paragraph but based on what I've heard various study guide providers say, so hopefully there's something in what I say here. What has changed is that version 7 of the PMBOK guide is now a reference material for the course, so in time it will be used to change the Exam Content Outline but for now that has not changed. The exam is not based on PMBOK alone, it's based on the Exam Content Outline from the PMI website and that has not changed. There will be changes to the 2022 exam but they should be introduced gradually and with warnings that they're coming.
