A heartfelt thanks to all the group members for your support and ideas throughout this journey.

A special shoutout to

@Andrew Ramdayal

—you are truly a leader in PMP tutoring. Your guidance was instrumental in my success.

My Study Plan:

Duration: 2-3 weeks
AR's 35-hour course: Watched the videos once (at 1.5x speed), read the slides, and revised the Process Group and Agile sections.
TIA Mock Tests: Completed 3 in study mode, 1 in exam mode (scored ~78-85%).
SH Essentials: Took multiple mini-tests and practice tests.
Question Practice: Overall, I practiced 350-400 questions.
David McLachlan's Videos: Provided valuable insights.

Most importantly, my background in PGDM (Operations Management), which I completed in 2019, allowed me to relate closely to the course content.

For working professionals, my advice is: don’t get caught up thinking, “The material says this, but we do it differently.” Instead, approach your studies with the mindset, “This is what the material says; how can I align my work to it?”. To understand any concept, I always visualize my own work and imagine how other departments, especially the PMO and Leadership, would approach it. This method significantly worked in my favor throughout my PMP preparation. And i believe, this perspective will help you develop the required mindset more effectively.
