Exam - Mission Accomplished.

I took and passed the exam this morning.

I arrived about 40 minutes early before my scheduled time. They took me right at that time and, after validating my 2 pieces of ID, allowed me to take the exam.

I was given a mylar sheet for notes and an erasable marker and that was it. This allows you to do a "brain dump" when you start the exam. No cell phones or electronic devices allowed in the room. You don't need to bring any pencil or paper.

There is 1 hour and 15 minutes allowed to complete the 40 question exam and I finished in 32 minutes. There is a timer on the top of the screen showing you which question you are on and how much time is left on the exam.

The exam allows you to mark questions for follow-up. When I finished all the questions, a summary page came up showing me which questions I marked and which ones I didn't answer. I marked about 7-8 for follow-up because in the second pass many questions somehow become clearer.

There were many questions on where each process or activity fits within the core processes.

I felt that the book I used to study with [here] was not too beneficial to me personally. I would recommend another source of study material.

My score was 70 and 65 was needed to pass. I should have taken this a year ago when I was studying harder. After almost a year off, I studied for the past 1.5 - 2 weeks.

Well, on to the next cert.
