I took and passed my PMP exam yesterday and I definitely owe at least part of that to this video and the resources linked in the comments. I paid for the PMI Exam Prep course and agree with Max that many of the prep questions were more difficult than the actual exam. I also found the Process Mapping Game to be super helpful along with the Vargas and Mclachlan videos. Thanks Max!
@@tamihowdeshell1957 Not as many as I expected. It was more of a situational test. However, the first thing I did when I got my notepad was write down all of the formulas that I had memorized.
Hi Max, great video. Thank you for making it. I registered for the PMP last year and was surprised that I had a few weeks left before it expired so I looked for some tip videos and used yours. Booked my test 2 weeks ago. Studied for 9 days while working 50-60 hours/week and this video was key, if anything as a confidence booster. I watched Ricardo Vargas' video a few times and then used a course on Udemy by Andrew Ramdayal at 2x speed. Didn't finish the course nor did I take a full practice test but stayed focused and made my own flashcards. Passed above target last night!
did you pay to this Nasty youtuber who wants to makes money on PMP. he is asking money to schedule a call. he thinks he can charge money for everything. what a world we live in this youtube will never get ahead

@@NAPGEO808 Hi, I used the 6th edition. In order to take the PMP exam you need to have a minimum of 3 years of PM experience which I had. My application was not audited. Hope this helps.
Hi, @themaxmao! Thanks for detailed tutorial! How much total did you spent on all preparation? Is the PMP membership/fee needed for examination? Is this certificate helped you in the job search/promotion/career?
@@svami108all exam prep resources I used and their associated costs can be found in the study guide I created (linked in description of this video).

Hi Max. I'm currently following your guide as I prepare for the exam. Questions, how in depth would you suggest I get into the actual PMBOK Guide? Do you know need to read it once or that wouldn't be enough? Thanks!
Just wanted to express a huge THANK YOU!! I watched this video, followed your notes, signed up for the practice/mock exams that you mentioned, and happy to say that I successfully passed the PMP yesterday. But your input and suggestions shared here were my primary tools. And I comfortably passed in the 'Above Target' level. Thanks so much!!!! Joe C.
Congrats, Joe!! Happy to hear about your accomplishment and I appreciate you calling out how you utilized the guide in the process. Best of luck with your future endeavors
Was there multiple selection answers on the test? I am doing good on the practice exam almost every question correct. You said the exam was easier. We’re the questions similar, worded differently?
Hi Max. I just wanted to come back around to your video to say thank you. I passed the PMP at the end of August and your video was what inspired me to work to attain the certification. Your advice was spot on, and even though I veered from it, I always came back, even watching the video again a couple of times before the test just to build my confidence. I've recommended it on the PMP Reddit thread as others have. Thanks for contributing to our profession and be well.
Hi Max! Your video was incredibly helpful in strategizing the second phase of my exam preparation. On April 1, I passed the exam with 3 above targets. Thanks for sharing your experience and approach 🍻
Hi Max, I passed my PMP in August this year on my first attempt. I just wanted to say a huge thank you and appreciate your effort sharing study plan and the resources!!
Waow Big big thank you Max I have just passed my PMP exam in my first trial thanks to your advice!! I used 2 weeks, I followed your study guide and added more David video questions (the 150pmbok and the 100waterfall video). Great content Max straight to the point and valuable resources. Keep going!
Hi Max😊 I have passed my PMP exam with all 3ATs. Thank you for some handy tips and tricks which worked for me😊🙏🏼 appreciate all your efforts 🧿 Take care
I just stumbled onto this video. Today is Aug 1st and I am going to attempt to have this done by the end of the month. Happy to see that this worked for so many people. Wish me luck!
Max, thank you so much for this detailed and informative video! Your systematic approach and invaluable insights have greatly assisted me in my PMP exam preparation. I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you've put into sharing your experience and resources. Your passion and expertise in project management shine through and are truly inspiring. Keep up the excellent work! 👍🙏
I just finished this PM training bootcamp (2 weekends 10am to 5pm est) which, I don't think was worth it BUT I found your content, made sure I mastered the mind mapping game for process areas, downloaded the AR TIA simulator exams, been all over McLachlan's agile/Waterfall questions, watched Ricardo Vargas PMBOK Flow (genius) and am praying I come back tomorrow and tell you I passed my exam! Note: I only started studying last Tuesday!! Freaking out to say the least! Wish me luck... great news loading... fingers crossed... "Hwaiting" as my daughter would say to me. Thanks Max for the guidance!
@@themaxmao I passed!!!! 2AT! Thank you so much for everything! Will be sure to continue supporting as i'm forever thankful! Now is time to look for a job :)
Hi Max, for the PMI exam questions ($99), did you need to sign up for the PMI annual membership first? How long did it take for PMI to approve your application? Congrats on youe certification! :)
Hi Amitha - thanks for commenting! You don't need to purchase the annual membership to buy the PMI practice questions. PMI application approval can be from a few days up to a week I believe.
Its Sept/24 and I'm currently getting ready for my PMP exam certification. It's going to cost me about $470 in total(membership, pmp exm, pmi simulator). I will be using most of the tips you have shared. Hopefully, I'll be sharing my testimony in the nearest future.
Hi Max, I found your video incredibly helpful. The resources that you shared were immensely helpful in successfully passing with Above Target score. You're right the PMI practice exam was more tougher than the actual exam and that helped to pass the actual exam.
Great Video and advice! I'm going for my PMP in a few months, so I'll be using your study guide and suggestions in hopes of me passing! Fingers crossed!
Hey Max. Thanks for this video, it was super helpful. I passed the PMP yesterday and the resources you shared helped tremendously, especially your advice on the PMI Exam Prep course. Usually for certs I like to use exam topics, but currently exam topics has like 870 questions, and there is a lot of disagreement on what the answers should be. The best thing to do is to get into the mindset like you suggested instead of question and answer memorization. I really like your efficient, no nonsense approach instead of beating around the bush like so many others do. For folks taking the exam, don't get discouraged during the exam, just power through. I actually thought I was failing while I was taking it, but I was above target. Not bragging, just saying with the vagueness of the answers, sometimes it is hard to know where you stand. Good luck, and thanks again Max.
Max, I passed my exam after following your video. Thank you so much! Ricardo Vargas' video and Andrew Ramdayal's udemy course as well as his mindset mocks were very helpful!
Hey Max! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This video was straight to the point which is greatly appreciated. I am currently a mechanical engineer transitioning into a project management via the PMP certification. I had no idea where to even start, there are SO many resources and you have solved that part for me! Thank you! I will check back in after I pass!
Thank you so much Max! I really appreciate this video, I did just all you mentioned in the video and I passed yesterday with AT, AT, T. Truly this is all you need to pass the PMP!
fuck yeah, i just got email from PMI and I passed with all above target. This video motivated me alot during my tough times. So here i am commenting on this as well celebrating my success. Thank you Max. I love you.
Passed last week using this guide , super helpful and actually more on par with the current test as far as focus on AGILE than a course I’ve taken in the past thank you
Hi Max - I stumbled across your video many months ago and bookmarked your study guide. This has helped me tremendously because I wasn't sure where to start or how to proceed. I'm happy to report I received my PMP designation today.
Thank you, Max, for your video ! It was really helpful and valuable for those who want to obtain this certificate quickly, including myself. I wish for your channel to continue developing in the future and to be able to spread valuable knowledge to everyone.
Thank you for explaining how to get PMP certified! Your video was incredibly helpful and made the process much clearer for me. I appreciate your thoroughness and dedication to sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Hey Max! Thanks for creating this video, it’s been a huge help! I’m preparing to take my PMP exam next week and have a few questions which would really help me out with my studying; 1. How much terminology/definitions did you have to know/memorise? I.e. stuff like precedence diagramming, ‘start-to-start’’, analogous estimating, contingency reserves, cost aggregation, scope baseline, schedule baseline, cause & effect diagram, rule of seven, Tuckmans ladder, maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Agile prioritisation techniques etc. 2. Did you have to calculate the critical path at all? 3. Beta distribution / standard deviation / triangle distribution - did these formulas come up? 4. Was there much on ITTOs , i.e. what tool to use when… 5. I’m finding the PMI PMP online Practice exam harder than expected, did you also? Feeling a little overwhelmed with the sheer volume of content so any feedback/help would be massively appreciated!
Hey Alex - thanks for commenting! My thoughts below. 1. there are usually a handful of questions that may test those nuanced-concepts.. if you somewhat know what those terms are referring to, it'll be very helpful 2. my exam had no calculations, but i would advise you should know the general ones/how to do critical path 3. i had no distributions/formula on my exam 4. you don't need to memorize ITTOs, but you should have a good understanding of the process mapping groups & "next steps" 5. i found the PMP PMI practice exam harder than the actual one don't be discouraged. it's a lot of content, but a lot of the exam is just understanding the process groups, knowing the logical next steps, and understanding the PMBOK mindset. goodluck!
I've been assigned a post similar to this and I think I need to take this course to get certified as soon possible and so equip myself with the necessary skill set. Thank you for this video.
Just gave the PMP exam and got the report from Pearson that I have passed. Scores are expected in the next 48 hours. This video was very essential in keeping myself focussed. There are vast amount of materials online and it is easy to get lost. You helped me to pass.
Awesome video, great advice. Thank you, Max, for putting out this video!! It complemented all the study I have been doing, and thanks to the knowledge in this video, I was able to pass. Thanks again
Thanks for the tips! I'm taking my exam on 1st Sep 2023 but already feeling so nervous as hell! Oh, thanks for highlighting the formula at 7:49 of this video. Will take note on the formulas. Wish me luck!
Thank you for advise. I passed PMP exam today with "above target". I just follow what you recommend and simulator also helpful. I do not mean the tools that i use have same question in real exam but it build understanding and mindset those met PMI expect. Sincerely thank you. May 24, 2024.
I passed my PMP with AT,AT,AT the other day and this video helped a lot! I happen to click your video by chance and this totally gave me the critical directions I badly needed 2 weeks ago. Kudos and keep it up Max
Hi Max, a greatly structured content you got here, thanks for the tips and for trying to help us as exam takers. :) However, I am really wondering about this "Mindset" thing. Could you please specify more what you mean about the right mindset? How can obtain it?
Hey Nadia! Great to hear from you. By "Mindset" I mean, how the PMBOK wants you to think about the exam. For example: if a question says "what should a PM do?" vs "what should a PM do first?" those could mean 2 different answers. You can train and develop this mindset through doing PMP practice exam questions (my recommendations being the TIA & PMI PMP Practice Exam ones)
Max, what would you do 'differently' if you could knowing what you know now to increase your chances of passing the 1st time? Also, any recommendations that you could suggest now that you may have thought of since then?
Hey! No changes - I’d still follow the exact process I outlined in my PMP study guide. IMO it’s the most effective way to study & pass the exam. Goodluck!
Hey Max, congrats on your results and thank you for this study guide, it really helped clarify a lot of questions in my mind. do you think project management is a good career path for someone like me who does not belong to the engineering or IT field?
Hi Joel! Thanks for commenting & glad you found the video helpful. Project management is a great career option if you enjoy being client-facing with teams and have good organization skills. It’s hard to say if it’s the “right” career path. Like many things in life, you may just have to try it to see if you like it!
Thanks for commenting - I personally didn’t read any of the PMBOK versions & felt prepared for the exam. If there’s a more up-to-date version, refer to that & do what’s best for you
Hi Max! Thanks for this! I have been looking for tips/guide on how I would start prepping. Questions, 1. For the exam schedule, do you schedule it after the approval from PMP? 2. Also, Once you completed the PMP practice exam, will you be able to preview the questions, your and correct answers as long as you like, meaning you can go back to it again during your free time to check? Thanks!
Hi Weng - thanks for commenting & glad you found the guide helpful. After your PMP application is approved, you’ll be able to schedule your exam. On the PMI practice exam, you get the answers after you select the answer choice so you’ll be able to see immediately. Hope this helps!

Hey Max!
Thanks for creating this video, it’s been a huge help!
I’m preparing to take my PMP exam next week and have a few questions which would really help me out with my studying;
1. How much terminology/definitions did you have to know/memorise?
I.e. stuff like precedence diagramming, ‘start-to-start’’, analogous estimating, contingency reserves, cost aggregation, scope baseline, schedule baseline, cause & effect diagram, rule of seven, Tuckmans ladder, maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Agile prioritisation techniques etc.
2. Did you have to calculate the critical path at all?
3. Beta distribution / standard deviation / triangle distribution - did these formulas come up?
4. Was there much on ITTOs , i.e. what tool to use when…
5. I’m finding the PMI PMP online Practice exam harder than expected, did you also?
Feeling a little overwhelmed with the sheer volume of content so any feedback/help would be massively appreciated!
Hey Alex - thanks for commenting! My thoughts below.
1. there are usually a handful of questions that may test those nuanced-concepts.. if you somewhat know what those terms are referring to, it'll be very helpful
2. my exam had no calculations, but i would advise you should know the general ones/how to do critical path
3. i had no distributions/formula on my exam
4. you don't need to memorize ITTOs, but you should have a good understanding of the process mapping groups & "next steps"
5. i found the PMP PMI practice exam harder than the actual one
don't be discouraged. it's a lot of content, but a lot of the exam is just understanding the process groups, knowing the logical next steps, and understanding the PMBOK mindset. goodluck!

Do you have the code for PMP 261 questions?
Hi Max, a greatly structured content you got here, thanks for the tips and for trying to help us as exam takers. :)
However, I am really wondering about this "Mindset" thing. Could you please specify more what you mean about the right mindset? How can obtain it?
Hey Nadia! Great to hear from you. By "Mindset" I mean, how the PMBOK wants you to think about the exam. For example: if a question says "what should a PM do?" vs "what should a PM do first?" those could mean 2 different answers. You can train and develop this mindset through doing PMP practice exam questions (my recommendations being the TIA & PMI PMP Practice Exam ones)
Max, what would you do 'differently' if you could knowing what you know now to increase your chances of passing the 1st time? Also, any recommendations that you could suggest now that you may have thought of since then?
Hey! No changes - I’d still follow the exact process I outlined in my PMP study guide. IMO it’s the most effective way to study & pass the exam. Goodluck!
Hey Max, congrats on your results and thank you for this study guide, it really helped clarify a lot of questions in my mind. do you think project management is a good career path for someone like me who does not belong to the engineering or IT field?
Hi Joel! Thanks for commenting & glad you found the video helpful. Project management is a great career option if you enjoy being client-facing with teams and have good organization skills. It’s hard to say if it’s the “right” career path. Like many things in life, you may just have to try it to see if you like it!
This is useful information, but you should update the content based on PMBOK Ver 7
Thanks for commenting - I personally didn’t read any of the PMBOK versions & felt prepared for the exam. If there’s a more up-to-date version, refer to that & do what’s best for you
Think I’m gonna try this out
Goodluck!
U have my sub.
Hi Max! Thanks for this! I have been looking for tips/guide on how I would start prepping. Questions, 1. For the exam schedule, do you schedule it after the approval from PMP? 2. Also, Once you completed the PMP practice exam, will you be able to preview the questions, your and correct answers as long as you like, meaning you can go back to it again during your free time to check? Thanks!
Hi Weng - thanks for commenting & glad you found the guide helpful. After your PMP application is approved, you’ll be able to schedule your exam. On the PMI practice exam, you get the answers after you select the answer choice so you’ll be able to see immediately. Hope this helps!
