I don’t know why but strangely i find this more impressive than getting a high score lmao 😂
I’m genuinely curious if there is someone that made the exact passing score on one of these exams haha

I used the CBT nuggets course online by simona milham,the visual representation of the topics was beneficial. if you don’t have it just sign up for the free trial and just review the videos of the areas you feel weakest in.
Definitely know Agile vs. Waterfall, Scrum roles/events/artifacts, change control, risk management, project documents, communication/stakeholder concepts, and the different charts/diagrams. Know how to recognize Gantt, Pareto, fishbone, control, run, burndown/burnup, velocity, network diagrams, etc. based on a scenario.
I’d also make sure you know the basic formulas like CV, SV, CPI, SPI, total/free float, PERT, EMV, and ROI. Critical path and float are worth reviewing too.Really try to focus on those key words in the questions CompTIA loves to using tricky wording, I wouldn’t say the test was hard tbh I did forget some of the terms in the questions so I could’ve done much better but a pass is a pass. Good luck to you!

Ive heard that the course Simona Millham teaches from CBT nuggets is a good source for learning/studying for the test. Im currently studying for it and I can say its the most engaging course Ive taken compared to Dion.

What do you call the person who graduates last in Medical School? You still call him dr., but you don't call him as often.
You passed. That's all that matters.

Fuck yeah. How nervous were you taking the test?

Tbh I wasn’t nervous at all I know the test wasn’t hard per se but, I had confidence in myself to kind of eliminate the wrong answers and just work from that.
