How to Manage Your Time on the 2021 PMP Exam 

Time management in PMP exam was a crucial factor to crack the exam, thanks Mr.Andrew for this video for explaining the importance of time allocation for each session of 60 question and OMG those 2 -10mins break was a life saver. Break time helped a lot to relax, refresh the mind and get on with next session. Cleared my PMP exam with 3AT's . Thanks a lot, you are awesome 😊

Thank you Andrew! yesterday I passed my PMP certification , this video really helped in time management ! & Most important 10 Minutes Break Strategy !

Hello Andrew, Thank you so much for posting this. I was looking for help with time management during exam and this video is really helping me with the preparations... We all are really grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with us..

I completed Andrew's course in Udemy and watched some of his recorded RU-vid sessions. It made a big difference. Today I passed my PMP above target in all areas. Mindset is key.Thank you Andrew, don't like cake but I did have some wine!

Thanks for the tips. Really helpful.

Peace Greeting Andrew, It's a great piece of video presentation. Very useful, well explained, clear visual, excellent advice for me. Thank you and it's very helpful for my PMP exam preparation. Kind regards M.Nor

Thank u very much Andrew I passed my exam and took ur brilliant course. Finished my exam 10 mins earlier . All domains above target. Great teacher.

Hello Andrew. I passed my PMP with 3 AT in 3 domains. Mindset was really helpful in answering questions. I had also revised the ECO domains video before exams too. Thank you a lot!

Hi Andrew. This video is a good way to prepare for the PMP Exam. Indeed, during my exam, I was not fully aware of the average time allocated for each 60 questions pack. And, after the second break, I had 60 minutes remaining to answer 60 questions. And, 1 minute / question is quite short and I had to hurry to give an answer for every question !! Moreover, I didn't take the first break (as you can say you do not want to take it) and at the end, it was a mistake, because it was tough to finish the second batch of questions !! Anyway, even with that, I passed my exam. To conclude, I have two pieces of advice for people who didn't take the exam yet: 1/ be aware of the time you have for each batch of 60 questions and 2/ take your breaks (to breathe / drink / ...).

Thanks for your advice! I cleared my PMP with above target Your tips really helped me to manage the time.

I would like to thanks for all your videos and tips, today I passed the PMP and all your advice were on point.

Wanted to say thank you Andrew ! I passed last Tuesday with above target !

Your videos was a great help in my PMP preparation. I finally passed the PMP exam with above target in all sections and I wanted to thank you for all the effort to you made for all the PMP aspirant. 😊

Thanks for your continued insights Andrew, I have just passed my PMP.

Thanks for making this video

Thank you so much for this video. I toked my exam today and I did exactly what said. Every break I take I remember your all 12 minutes. I ran out of time on my third section on the exam. But I managed to answer 170 questions and the rest random selection in 59 sec. again thank you for this video. Quick update exam count down from 230 and 10 minutes breaks are not counted.

Exam fatigue is a excellent nugget!!!

Greatandtimelyvidreally.

Hi Andrew, Thank you very much.. I passed my exam.. Your tips, practice questions, mindset helped a lot.. AT in all domain..

I already passed my PMP exam. Tracking time was tough for me. I knew I needed to spend no more than 1.2 minute per question. Also you can review only questions before taking a break. After break you can't go back to those questions. I'm a slow reader and I reviewed about 3 questions per session. And still I ended up not having enough time to review all marked questions at the end of my last session. I felt very tired and exhausted and wasn't thinking as clearly as in the beginning of the exam. My advice is not to count on review much. Or plan to mark no more than 3 questions per session for review.

I have passed my pmp a week. But I made a major mistake in analysing the break time. I went for the break and spent around 10 mins there not realising that time is running out. When I came back I just had 115 mins to solve 120 questions. I did not realise that I had utilised more than 60 minutes to complete the first set.

Hi Andrew! 2 Questions only ( If anyone knows the answer to the below, please jump in ) -Would I be allowed to review study materials during the breaks ? -Is the timer representing in minutes eg : 75 minutes OR will it show 1:15 minutes Thank you so much - Regards !

Greetings u r my Krishna it's so very easy ,I thank you so much let me name you Krishna jee. I am an Sr civil engineer frm India, Nasik am Dubai UAE municipality approved staff + UAE society of engineer approved I did my double MBA nd worked more then 20 yrs

Hi Andrew, great content. Should I be concerned if I am answering questions inside of 30 seconds? I don't want to feel like I am rushing, or relying on "instinct"; however, I don't want to spend too much time and start second guessing myself either. What are your thoughts?

Hi Andrew.. Is your book contains agile questions also which is updated to 2021 exam pattern?

Hi Andrew, thanks for your advises and help. Just an observation for those who will take the test online from home/work: during the exam OR THE BREAK you are not allowed to left the webcam view. Leaving the webcam view is not allowed for any reason. So, doing push ups on this exam format might not be a good idea. Once again, thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing your insight. You mentioned taking food breaks, and you seem to be suggesting one would be in their own home during that period, given the proximity to food and coffee. Are the PMP exams as of Sep 2021 being conducted remotely, ie at home on your computer, vs proctored? Are there options to pick between these?

Does PMI give partial points? Or if one gets it wrong it’s ALL wrong (e.g. dragon drop questions)

Hi Andrew Kindly suggest major changes in recent pattern and % pass marks

Please I would like to know if thoses breaks are given also for procored exams? I'll pass the PMP exam soon and i would like to be sure about it. Thank you.

During the breaks..will you be able to have snacks and coffee if you carry it along with you to the center.

I passed my exam on 12th of this month. Even after managing time I had 1 min left for the last question. Exam was really hard. Finished 1st in 82 mins, 2nd set in 79. Be mindful it depends on the questions and how one can manage time.

Does watching the instruction video during the exam take away from the time allocated in the first set of questions?

Do you have to have a Bachelor's degree to get an entry level job in project management if you obtain your CAPM? I've taken Udemy courses and studied Project Management sources as well as the PMBOK. But I don't have direct industry experience. This is all theoretical knowledge, and I'm doubting whether I really understand the application of all of this knowledge. I'm worried that my lack of experience and lack of degree means my effort to learn project management is in vain. Do I have to get a degree or can I negotiate my way around a degree on PM job interviews?

Hi Andrew; I have two questions. (1) can I shorten the break (2) the 60-question section is just your advise on how to break the exam, right? not a hard-stop. Thanks

Hello, thanks for this great video. Are calculators allowed? Maybe they not even be required?!

Hi Andrew. Thank you for sharing this. What about any experience of taking the exam at home instead of going to the exam site?

Hey Andrew. Does the exam require submitting the answers after answering the first 60 questions? Or do we just take a break and then come back to resume where we left off ? If it mandates, do we need to answer all the first 60 questions?

Hello Andrew, This would be really helpful. In case we are taking exam online, can we go outside the room, away from camera or we have to be continuously in front of camera? Also, can we use pen, paper, calculator during exam?

Anybody here knows if the exam timer runs from 0 min or 230 min(from behind ) ?

Hi Andrew, 1. can I eat during the exam? 2. Can the exam run on corporate network?

Does the timer count down during the exam or count up from zero? Also does the exam use the hour format or minutes format? For example if it the minutes format and its counting down. Using your 80-80-70 rule should look like this. End of 60 questions = 150min left 10 min break End of 120 questions = 70 min left 10 min break End of 80 questions = 0min left

What happens if 1 question is wrong? Negative marks Aplicable?

What is the weightage of agile?

If you take the PMP online, it is torturous as you can't even move your face outside the screen parameter; if you drink a lot of coffee and soda before the exam; it is painful! The exam is easy-focus on the Agile manifesto and principles and apply them to every question on the exam!
