To pass or not to pass? That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the stings and sorrows of mis'rable fortune or take knowledge into a sea of questions and by answering, end them?

Hi Team,

I just want to let you know that I passed the PMP exam today!!

I took a 5 minute break when I was at question 100 which was just within the 2 hrs. I finished with just 15 minutes left which I used to review the marked questions, but wasn't able to review all of them.

Then it takes almost a minute to generate the result: Congratulations ....blablabla.
I had to read it twice before I realised I passed.

Overall conclusion: it's long, it's exhausting but you can do it if you stay focussed and take a break as Lynda advised. Read the question at least 2-3 times. You should be able to eliminate 2 of the options if you don't know the answer. Do not leave questions unmarked as you might have no time left at the end. Just mark them for review.

Advice for preparing for the exam:  The Mosaic 100 questions and the exam simulator are extremely helpful to prepare for the exam. Try and do as many questions as you can via the simulator. I did 400 but could have done many more.

BTW there where no unexpected questions for me. Keep an eye on the Mosaic handout provided!

I would like to thank Mosaic and Lynda in particular for all the information and materials provided. I believe this is a great way to prepare for an exam. Well done!

Cheers

Hi Pat,

I love the Visual PMBOK® Guide, it’s really helping me to learn and memorise the key inputs, outputs, tools & techniques for each of the process groups.

Great tool to use in preparation for the CAPM exam. :-)

Hey PMPeepers

Good news on the weekend……after 4 hours of intense brain exercise, I have managed to pass the PMP exam.  I found the Mosaic course to be solid preparation for the exam. I think if you understand the reasoning (and quirks) behind the all the module questions we have done, that makes a pretty good foundation to feel confident about the exam.

Personally I needed the full 4 hours. I took 2 breaks, walked up and down a couple of floors in the stairwell, munched down a chocolate, and got back into it….I found this helps the grey matter fight the fatigue.   Afterwards…count on being a bit tired!

Thanks Pat and Lynda for all the advice, encouragement and whip cracking!  I had a bit of a false start, but got it together in the end.

I just wanted to write a quick note thanking you for all your help and support while I prepared for my CAPM exam that I passed recently. Your help and support was instramental and I can't thank you both enough for all your help and support in obtaining this qualification which was very challenging.

I would be happy to recommend Mosiac to other colleagues in my network for any and all training that you provide.
 
Kind Regards,

Hi Guys,
 
Just wanted to say Thank You for the coaching and to say what a great tool you have in respect to the Online Test Simulator. I did my PMP exam today and passed and I think without your coaching and without the simulator I stood no chance.
 
Once gain thanks a million :)

It is with much excitement that I write to tell you I passed my PMP today!  The incredible feeling of nervousness and trepidation when I pressed "submit" with just under a minute to go was surpassed by an overwhelming surge of relief when it returned to tell me I'd passed.
 
I'm extremely grateful and thankful for all of the help and assistance you've provided right the way through the course, particularly during the last week and a bit when I've been doing my final revision for the exam.  Your speedy turnarounds to my queries on the weekend were unexpected but very much appreciated.  I can thoroughly recommend the Mentored Email™ course to anyone like myself who is not able to commit the time on a set basis to attend classes.  It worked for me, greatly aided by yourselves.
 
Cheers,  Gerard

Mosaic managed the delivery of an in-house PMP course for Simplot earlier this year. We found the course to be effective and the training enjoyable and effective.

Hi Pat & Lynda,

Just letting you know I sat the CAPM exam last Thursday and passed.  I finished with an hour or so remaining.

Since undertaking the CAPM preparation and exam I have been offered a new role at work moving into the Organisational Development and Change Management side of HR and am currently in salary review discussions.  So all in all, not a bad month's work!

Hi Lynda,

I just wanted to let you know that I sat the PMP exam today and passed! Hooray, now I can get my life back. I wanted to thank you – if it wasn’t for the Exam Prep course, there is no way that I would have passed. I have been a Project Manager, or managed Project Managers for many years, but there was still a lot to learn that will be extremely useful in practical application.

I thought the course was really logically laid out and the tips about sitting for the exam were useful.

All in all, a great course and now I’m going to have some champagne and I’ll toast Mosaic (it’s never too early for champagne).

Dear Lynda,
 
YAHOO! You'll be pleased to hear that I didn't let down your batting average and managed to PASS!

I found the Exam REALLY HARD! The first 50 questions took an hour and I seemed to be "Marking" every 2nd one.
 
I did take super quick "Sugar" breaks after every 50 questions (great advice!) But I was STILL struggling to focus on all the scenarios...most questions seemed to be of that style. I picked up a little time in the second half - I just had to decide on answers/guesses FASTER and I finally got some short definition questions. So had 15 mins to review and pressed the EXAM FINISHED button with only 10 seconds on the clock!  The lady in charge (who was lovely!) - said it was vary rare for PMP's not to use the full 4 hours.
 
Anyway, thanks to you and Lynda for the course - I can't imagine any other way of doing this to get a pass. You were able to distil the important issues - so that at least some of that stayed in my brain, and I knew what to try and focus on.

Thanks again to both of you for all your assistance in getting me over the line!

Hello Pat and Lynda

I passed!!!

Thank you for the great service you provide in preparing for this exam. At first I was really annoyed at the exam focus and the need to do it etc etc, but as I went through the sessions I really got into it – I found great benefit in the detail, in having to remember percentages (for example) – it adds further definition to things I know well in concept. Thank you for the session layout and pace. The sessions are achievable in one study chunk – I would do all of the work on one, then answer the test questions the next day, or later that day. It made it very easy for me to pace the work – as I had chosen a very aggressive schedule. Thank you also, and most of all, for the prompt service you provide. There is no way I would have been able to work things in a short space of time without that.

So I really enjoyed it and thank you. I will certainly speak well of the service you provide.

Regards
Sandra

Hi Nataliya,

I passed the PMP Exam on Friday. The test was harder than I expected -- much harder than the practice tests in many of the popular practice test sites.

Thanks to Mosaic and regular study on the train, I was able to pass quite comfortably. For me, your Mentored Email course was a really efficient way to obtain PMP certification. It allowed me to maintain my busy work/life schedule, and in between times spend an hour or so on email lessons. These lessons were both mentally refreshing and personally rewarding.

Thanks again,
Michael

Linda and Pat
 
I have completed my PMP Exam this morning and am pleased to advise I achieved a PASS, with a "Moderately Proficient" in Initiation, and "Proficient" in all other areas.
 
An appropriate time to thank you for your continuous monitoring and advice during the course, and for the occasional encouragement. Clearly the course achieved the objective. I would recommend the Mentored Email course for anyone who enjoys current employment. This recommendation is substantiated by the simple fact that it is some 40 years since I last sat for a formal exam!
 
My sincere thanks and I trust you share in my celebration
 
Regards
Mike Worth
