Important comment regarding the time LEFT in the exam (I just took it yesterday, and passed ;)). The exam clock is counting the time down, so in order not to get distracted it's better to subtract the time earlier just not to worry with the maths of "am I gonna make it on time??". So you have to start reviewing the 1st part of the exam at ~165 minutes and finish it by ~155. 2nd part - review by 90 and finish by 80 min. I suggest "anti-padding" the time planned for the first 2 parts of the exam as time management is extremely difficult in such stressful situation so it might happen that you will exceed the 75 minutes planned by several minutes in one of the parts. Also, remember to click "Take a break" when the break starts, because otherwise 1 minute is counted against your exam time! Last but not least, try to use "Flagging" function as little as possible, because you will not have time to review many questions (I'd say 10/60 is a maximum). Work on your focus, also in order not to need to use the "highlight" and "strikethrough" function - clicking those takes time and doesn't really give that much. It's much better to use the coursor to track the text and focus on the key words in the question, as though you were accenting it in your memory.

I'd like to thank you for this video. I did the exam last week and I passed it on my first attempt. The time management was a key to the success of it.

Last Evening I took the exam at my home center and passed! I was actually surprised, because a few of the questions really threw me for a loop and at one point I thought I'd be posting about my failure. There were no easy questions that were a brainer though. I failed the last exam in JUNE 2021. I have no Agile/hybrid experience. This was all new stuff that I had to learn in the last 3 weeks. Finally I seen this RU-vid channel and I purchased , PMP with RAY took all the PMP training videos of RAY and the tips, techniques also the scenario based questions which helped to me the elimination technique. The exam was so difficult - but not impossible. Study and do as many practice tests as possible. 70 to 80% questions are focuses on Agile/hybrid/servant leadership The actual exam: • 5 or 6 drag and drop questions • 2 or 3 pick which area you think the answer is in • 1 EVM formula question • No Critical path questions where you have to calculate it. Many thanks to PMPwithRay channel for achieving this milestone. Highly recommended to watch all Videos and get the resources for your PMP Exam.

Everyone needs to watch this! It helped me plan my reviews and breaks. I felt much calmer during the exam knowing I was sticking to my pace. I just passed with 3 AT's!

Hi Ray, Thank you. I cleared my PMP with AT overall. This video is gold!

Passed my PMP Exam today Above Target in all domains. Thanks to your time management even though I didn’t review each session of the exam. Your video helped me manage my time. Thank you and God bless you Ray...!!!

Hi Ray, I took my exam last week and passed with AT across 2/3 domains. I am an experienced project manager and have done PRINCE2 so I decided to follow an intensive, 1 month study programme using your videos like this one on RU-vid and your mock questions and exams on Udemy. I honestly can't recommend them enough. They are thorough, well-planned and delivered in a logical manner. Thank you for creating such great products! The main lesson learned for those taking the exam for the first time is to 100% practice mocks using this time management strategy. I took a few mocks but not with the strategy from this video in mind. If I had practiced that more beforehand I probably wouldn't have been as stressed and rushed towards the end of the exam.

Passed my PMP exam 2 days ago, thanks a lot for educating the time management and it definitely helped me to manage my exam productively.

Hello Ray, my exam happened yesterday and I just received the results. I got AT on all 3 domains. Your videos and questions are the primary source and I can't thank you enough. Forever indebted..

I followed your time management recommendations on September 24, 2021 and it worked beautifully. I finished the test with enough time to review my final 60 questions and was not stressed about having to rush through the final set. I passed with three ATs and definitely attribute some of my success to this video. Thank you!!!

Watch this video. I passed my PMP exam today. I struggled to manage time even after watching this video 3 to 4 times. Implement your time management effectively. It is a difficult exam and it takes time to read especially those people who struggle to understand things through reading.

Hi Ray, Today I have passed My PMP exam in my first attempt. I took your questions on udemy and followed your Tips & I have applied in my journey! I got Above Target in all the domains Thank you for your inputs!!

Thank you very much for time management trips.... Yesterday I cleared the PMP exam on my 1st attempt with ATs in 3 domains... Your exam trips and formulas are helped me a lot in last 7 days of my exam preparation..........

Passed today with above target among the three. I never got more than a 63 on your tests. Your Udemy tests were mind crushingly effective!

Hi , Mr. Ray , I Passed PMP today with above target in my 1st attempt . Your videos helped me a lot . I followed all your tips from the very first video. Thank you so much .

Thank you Ray for this video! It was invaluable to me during the exam! I watched the video the day before I took my exam. I was able to a manage my time almost exactly to your recommendations and got 3 ATS !! For anyone taking the exam, I took it at a test center but when I was able to use the scrap paper I just wrote out the outline for the time management at the first question and I wrote at what time I would need to be at after each section and it really helped just being able to glance at it during the test seeing on the paper where I needed to be. Thank’s again Ray!!

Hi Ray, I passed PMP with AT in all domains. Your change management video, time management video, and mock simulator have helped me a lot in understanding the concepts and time management during my exam. I am very thankful to you. You are doing an amazing job in helping PMP aspirants. Thanks a lot.

Hello Ray, I followed the time management tips for my exam today and also referred to your videos on ITTOs and Situational questions. Extremely useful. Thank you so much for these tips. I scored above target in all areas.

Exceptionally amazing strategy. Thank you.

Excellent video , Thanks Nilotpal Ray

Thanks Ray for the recommendation. I’ll try to keep it in mind during my study phase and mocks and, hopefully, apply it at the end, when I’m on the exam.

Hi Ray, i passed my exam yesterday. And thanks to this video that I can manage my time, other videos of your channels are equally helpful

Thanks Ray!! I followed many of your videos and also your Udemy course 2022. I recently passed with all ATs.. I really encourage all to focus on the time management and follow Ray Video for that.. Tailor it based on what you can afford.

Hi Ray, I am very thankful to all your videos on PMP. It was a great guide and methodical. All the best practices like time management, elimination techniques, mock up exam tips, error logs helped me immensely to clear the PMP yesterday with AT in all sections. You are awesome and keep this channel in for the many thousand aspirations to come. Take Care and thanks again

Guys just to mention in PMP The time is reported as time left. So first section should be finish when the time says 160 min according to recommended strategy...... Just tkeep that in mind. Second I just pass my exam. Didn't see this before and I am so happy. I would have been super nervous. Looking at me not hiting the milestones. Every one is different. ... I would recommend just practice the mock exams and get the overall pace you need. It is perfectly ok to use more time for calculations that you know are going to be a correct answer for sure. .. not rocket science , each section should be done in 76 min.... But in reality if you do good in section 1 and 2 , then section 3 you can get it righ by reading answers only. Do your own thing, this video's recommendation even if it is with the best intentions would make you super nervous ...." keep track of every min on top of everything!!" NO .. do mock timed tests and you will be fine.... other videos in this channel are helpful .

Very very useful before appearing for exam and practicing in mock... if I would have not seen this video , might have ended with scenario 1 to 3... now feel much better after knowing scenario 4... thx Dear Ray..

This was spot on! Passed today and I definitely had to use this time management strategy. Thanks for your content!

Thanks, Mr. Ray for the recommendation. I’ll keep it in mind during my mock test and real exam. really it will help to who is attending the first attempt for time management.

Thanks Ray.. Completed my today with Above Target in all domains. I followed your suggestion on time management and it helped in a lot..

Thank you; good advice; I would suggest your clock starting from 230 counting down, like on the test rather than starting at zero. (230/155/80/0). I also wished they had a second timer for the time used on the current portion. Great info; thank you. Oh, while watching this video; I had to keep adjusting my volume. Your edited portion was 2-3 times LOUDER than your other splices and my wife was yelling at me because the volume was so loud. I had to raise the vol to hear the low parts.

The clock in the exam works in reverse order. 2:30 to backward

Hi Ray. Thank you so much for your videos. I passed my exam yesterday 😁 and they were definitly an important contribution!

Hey Ray, your time management strategy really helped me clear PMP exam. Thank you so much.

Hi Ray, I completed my PMP on Monday with above target in all domains. Thank you for sharing the information on this channel! This video in perticular is so accurate and to the point.. It has helped me a lot!

Thank you, Ray. I will surely implement this strategy!

Hi Ray, I passed my PMP last Friday with above target score on all domains. I wanted to thank you for your amazing videos, they surely helped me to pass. Your content is top notch!

Hi Ray. Thanks for this video. Just wanted your opinion on one more strategy, that is, to spring through all the 60 questions (without completely reading it) in the first 5 mins, that way, we reduce the anxiety of what lies ahead, also, there are some questions which doesn't need calculation and is purely theory based, which can be answered in 15 seconds per question, so if in that 5 mins sprint, if we can answer atleast 10 questions straight away, we are left with 50 questions and 65 mins, here we have a happy start that we got that 10 questions right as they were easy and nailed it in the begining in no time...let me know your opinion...

Thank you Sir Ray for these tips!

Useful coaching, Ray. Thank you.

Very informative video, thanks for the awesome video Ray.

Very useful video thanks much appreciated

Great information. Thank you.

Thank you Ray. Really helpful.

Hi Ray, I have a little bit of trouble in understanding theProject Budget component v/s Total amount, Here is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong: The estimation of cost of the activities carried out under work package level is added with the contingency amount which is associated with those activities, this forms the cost baseline at the activity level of work package. This is added with the contingency amount associated with the work package level, this forms the cost baseline at the work package level. This is control account which management uses for cost performance monitoring, Adding up all the control accounts will give the overall cost baseline. And over this cost baseline, a management reserve is added which will give the budget. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

Thank you very much

Hello Ray. Big fan your videos for PMP prep. I have just scheduled my exam for July. I just saw PMBOK guide version 7 is available for download now. Does that mean my exam will be based on PMBOK 7 and not 6 ?

If all topics are distributed somewhat equally among the three test phases, would it be reasonable to assume that if you feel you did well in the first section, the same would hold true in the last two?

its been long time Ray, we didnt see your new content on PMP! would you like to throw some light on PMBOK7 ? I have taken your Udemy course, would you be upgrading that with something latest material ? We in our training batch following you and we filled our applications based on your application video and it was very helpful.

Thanks... Are there all questions in each section mixed Can we get one latest sample

Hi Ray, I have PMBOK Guide 6th edition and Rita Mulchay's 10th edition. Is it enough for preparation?

I have my exam on 19 January 2024. This is the first time I am giving exam. I am bit tensed.

Thanks Sir. May I know any suggestions about CAPM exam preparation from you!

Hey Grt job, Would it work for home based test ? Kindly advise..

Hi Ray, What is the difference between Trend Analysis and Regression analysis?

230/180 = 1min 27 sec per questions....

Hi Ray , The PMBOK 7 edition is out now , should i update my Strategy for the PMP exam ? i have already started with your Udemy course .

Hello, is there negative marking for incorrect answers?
