Finally the day has arrived when I can call myself a certified PMP after 4 months of hard work! I got Above Target in all Process Areas except for Executing and an Over-all Above Target score.

 

I would like to thank all the people who made this possible.

 

Khushboo Gupta, my best friend, who kept insisting on me (continuously for 6 months) pursuing PMP and later introduced me to her friend, Nidhi Gupta, who guided me to prepare for the exam day.


Venkata from Simplilearn who convinced me to take classroom program. The entire Simplilearn team and community who helped me in all aspects from filling the application, to helping in audit documents preparation, to helping with any technical issue that I faced.


Tim Jerome, my faculty. I have no words for him. He is an amazing guide and an extremely knowledgeable faculty. He kept insisting on to use the Simplilearn community in the classes and helped me get the right thought process to approach the questions (which is what is required in the exam).


In the last 10 days of my prep, he gave me detailed explanations for over 100 questions of mine. In the beginning they were stupid too. But he ALWAYS responded with detailed explanations. I used to drop him my questions at India day time and by my morning I almost always had my answers in my mailbox. The way he appreciated my study strategy really motivated me.


Shail Shah and Abhishek Aind, my managers who helped with my application audit and couriered my documents immediately.


Jayant Kodwani and Andrew who helped me and mentored in return of nothing! Andrew gave me detailed feedback on my experience section in my application multiple times to the extent of a full stop. He kept motivating me the entire time after that.


Jayant also prepared a detailed excel on my projects experience and gave me a detailed feedback. His excels from his website helped me a lot and when I got stuck in one of his free questions, I whatsapped him on a weekday during office hours. He responded to my query instantly with a detailed response.


Linkedin group I want to be a PMP and Whatsapp group of my classmates from Simplilearn. They helped me with the free material that I could use to study. Abu Siddik, Vipin, Markus Klein and Anand Mohan to be specific helped me with materials to study.


Most importantly, my parents who pampered me to all extremes so I could study for 16 hours a day in the last 15 days and who kept motivating me every single day, my sister, Sunayana, who house hunted for me in the extreme temperatures of Mumbai while I studied peacefully at home, my cousin, Shreya and brother in law, Abhimanyu who pampered me just before the exam day and motivated me at the last moments.
