When I realized it was only $250 to retake the exam. Seriously, you need to figure out how much this stress and anxiety is worth. You fail it, big deal. Study a bit more and retake.

Think like a PM. You're ready. If you fail, understand your areas for improving and take it again.

It’s $250?? Why did I think it was $495?


holy2oledo

That might be the initial. The retake is like $250.

Have you been doing SH? It gives you a good read of the mastery of the different processes and domains

Watch David McLachlan's videos on YouTube for PMBOK, Waterfall, and Agile questions. It'll give you a great feeling for what the questions will be like on the exam. It's exactly what you're getting with Study Hall. Thank you for your service.

Thanks for the resources. Really helping out. I don’t think m in as bad of a position as I think.


Live_Magician1686

I havnt. I’ve been strapped for cash right now buying a house. Been using all the free versions as much as I can.


Tullzterrr

you can try this, dont know how accurate it is but it's free at least : [https://pmobytes.com/pmp-sample-1/](https://pmobytes.com/pmp-sample-1/) also as suggested, DM's videos are pretty solid PocketPrep has free questions per day 10 + the question of the day


Live_Magician1686

I appreciate the help

It sounds like you need to wait on finances. Not being able to afford to fail and not being able to afford SH is a double whammy of setting yourself up to fail. You're going to be ill prepared and over stressed.

Agreed. I also went through some emotional roller coasters while preparing for the exam. I’m 100% certain if I took the exam before working on the mental state, I would’ve failed miserably. For OP, SH is definitely worth getting. The essential one I believe is only $45? It comes with a lot of great reading material that will help you pass the exam as well. But sacrificing your mental/physical health to the exam is not worth it.

This is great info! It looks like this program connects veterans to free PMP training but will they also pay for the exam? I’ve already paid for boot camp but would be interested if they’d help with cost of the exam! Thank you again!
