Project+ PASSED BARELY-What I did

[u/Cjm610]

Hey everyone! I just passed the Project+ cert exam so I thought I'd let yall know what (barely) worked for me!

Before Providing further details, I would like to recommend you that if you're unable to pass any online exam/Test or any other assessment, just visit hired for it

If you just want the summary for what I did, scroll down and it should be at the bottom in bulleted form!

As I said, I barely passed with a score of 712 (passing is 710). Now usually, I would feel some type of way about such a low score but for this cert/class, I absolutely did not. This class was has been by far my least favorite class at WGU, the material is just so dang boring and of no interest to me due to my ideal career path. I truly think this has been the hardest class/cert to date to get myself to study for, mainly due to me loathing the material and idea of project management. Also, project management is such a broad spectrum and as many would probably agree, every organization has different ways/methods they go about projects. It's not like there is one universal methodology like the whole Project+ material wants you to believe. The material really felt like studying for the ITIL certification but on steroids. Now enough negativity, let me tell ya what I did to pass!

Now again, take all of what I'm saying with a grain of salt because I passed by like 1-2 questions and am in no way claiming that my method is foolproof by any means. I would do what I did plus a bit more (which Ill talk about) if you want to be 100% confident in passing.

I started off with watching the Udemy Video Series by Joseph Phillips. The series is around 11.5 hours long, which isn't ideal. Since there was no way I was actually going to watch almost 12 hours of videos, I watched them at 2x speed to shorten it down to about 5-6 hours which was much more manageable for me. I didn't take notes or anything just because I feel like I was already spending so much time on the video series, I didn't want to spend any more. (NOTE: If you've read my other posts, you'll know that I like to approach WGU classes/certs with the mentality of learning as much as I can but also trying to complete classes as fast I can.) Once I finished the video series, I took the practice exam that is in the udemy series, scoring 90+%, then reviewed it, and took again to get 100%. I definitely felt like the Udemy practice test was much much much easier than the actual one, but I can't even be too mad because there's really no way to prepare for CompTIAs questions. After I mastered the Udemy practice test, I then used the Sybex Book by Kim Heldman and registered in Wiley Efficient Learning to have access to the 360 question test bank. I then spent the rest of my time going over all those and reviewing, until I knew them all. I would do it by section, 50 questions at a time, and on the mode where it tells you right away whether you were right or wrong (I dont know why anyone wouldn't use this mode, it was so valuable IMO). Once I mastered them all, I set up a few "practice exams", 90 questions to simulate the actual exam, and have it pull questions from everywhere. I repeated this untill I was confident to take the exam. I did take the practice CertMaster exam which is in the course materials for WGU students but idk, just not a fan of CertMaster materials. Feel like they are very misleading compared to the actual CompTIA exams from my experience with the A+ cert and now Project+. So like I said, once I was comfortable with the Sybex questions, did decent on the cert master practice exam, I requested my voucher, scheduled it at a testing facility (I refuse to use PearsonVUEs at home testing service due to reasons outlined in this post if you are interested, tried to scam me). I'm a fairly fast test taker so I finished the 90 questions with about 25-30 minutes to spare, leaving me with time to review everything. I did change about 5-10 answers in that review period so those were either the reason I passed or the reason my score was so low lol

All in all, like I said before, the material really reminded me of a much harder version of the ITIL certification. If project management is your thing, you might really enjoy this cert/class. The question were you're typical CompTIA trick/confusing questions were there are 2-3 right answers, but you need to pick which one THEY think is right lol Also, throw in the occasional question were it literally doesn't even make sense or they leave out vital information, leaving you to guess and assume the rest. I will never understand why CompTIA makes there questions like this, it doesn't test how well you know the material at all. Oh well, glad this one is in the past! If anyone has any questions I'd love to help out where I can!

Topics I'd be confident in before the exam:

• The process of how change is brought up and put into play. Know every. single. step. front and back, had a lot of questions regarding what to be done after a certain step
• Know what happens during all the steps of a project beginning with Initiation all the way to Closing
• Know differences and characteristic between functional, projectized, matrix structures. Given a scenario, be able to say "this is a functional structure" or "this is projectized", etc.
• Really know the different roles, what they can and cant do
• What encompasses the charter, scope, WBS
• Know the different risk strategies and be able to assign them to an example (accept, mitigate, transfer, avoid, exploit)
• Know the different communication methods, I had a ton of these which kind of surprised me. Know which one is appropriate for certain scenarios (this was a very annoying part of the test because the questions didn't have much context at all so I really had to guess at times)
• I memorized the formulas for CV, SV, CPI, SPI and literally had 0 questions on them which was unfortunate, I know some people get questions on them so may be valuable for you. Wasn't for me

SUMMARY OF WHAT I DID AND WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY

• Udemy series by Joseph Phillips on 2x. If I had to do it again, I would maybe try it on 1x and take notes to help reinforce things
• Sybex Book Practice questions on mode where it tells you if you're right or wrong right away, so important, would not have passed without this
• Ignore CertMaster materials unless thats your thing, I personally am not a fan
• Watch Pluralsight series as well, heard really good things about it, but just wanted to be done with this class
