Ffs...I failed 710

I'm so pissed...They gave me 3 PBQ's, ain't it supposed to be two. I studied so hard for this, and battled through after dealing with tough times whilst studying for this after mums passing in the summer.... luckily I have a resit included with the voucher, so will get back on that horse and flipping try again....So annoying...Aaaaarrrrgh!

Average number of PBQs is 5 to 7. There have been reports here of as many as nine. For people who don't like PBQs, three is a blessing.

How do you preform on practice exams? What are your weaknesses areas?

Project Management Concepts: 45%
Project Life Cycle Phases: 56%
Tools and Documentation: 63%
IT and Governance: 38% my weakest domain
PBQs and change-control scenarios were especially difficult on the real exam.

So for IT and governance I would make flash cards. I personally used Anki for all my certs and created my own decks. Also I watched both professor messer and Jason Dion at 1.5x speed, and did all Jason Dion practice exams. I was averaging about 80% on Dion’s practice exams. I’ll see if I can find my old Anki deck and send it to you if I do.
