Application was accepted. I’m currently doing the Jospeh Phillips Seminar, I have Rita’s book, and Andy’s Book. I heard PM Prepcast simulator is money. Can anyone confirm? Any other advice? I’m shooting for a FEB test date.

God, I hate having to deal with project managers. It’s more damn work to keep them updated, complete my WAR, and give my engineering manager updates. shite, can’t they just do my fricking WAR?

I found that knowing the inputs and outputs really helped on test day. That being said, it felt like most of the study materials I used were a money grab by the publisher. Good luck.

As a certified PMP, it is not useful at all in my current role. Total waste of time on my part getting that cert.

PMPs are mostly a waste of time and money

I was certified for several years

Man I really thought about getting that one, but the material in that PMBOK thing just looked like gibberish to me.

I got mine back in 2016. All I really did was go through the Rita book twice and took one week boot camp class in Dallas so I can have the hours to sit for the exam. From my recollection, the test questions on most practice test are harder than what you'll see on the actual exam. If you are scoring in average over 80-85% on practice tests, you are ready to sit for the real exam.

I'm a PMP, because my company requires it within a year of becoming a PM. It helps the selling credibility of project management effort to be able to say that the entire staff of PMs are certified.
I don't find it particularly helpful to anything I do day to day, but every once in a while I'll grab a formula from the pmbok that applies.
Get it if you want. It's cheap credentials and the test is tricky but not hard (if that makes sense). Good luck.

My wife has her PMP; got it about 2 years ago. she does various projects for her company and gets assigned a new one every few months. That’s all I got.
