Maybe we should both woosh.

I agree, methodologies don't neccessarily get you anywhere. Trouble is, people in recruitment want it, so you almost always have to have it.

Once I have prince out of the way, I intend to do APMP, but even then my strongest PM 'qual' will be my soft skills.

Just done a sample foundation test after just one read-through of the material and got 68%, which is a pass I believe. Not a great score, but not too shoddy either smile

heading in the right direction. don't relax too much on account of passing a test paper.

I was scoring almost 90-95% in my mocks and still managed to fail the practitioner first time around.

It's a whole different ball game answering 112 Qs in 2.5 hours!!

Damn, and there was me thinking it was all going to be a walk in the park... wink

I have no illusions about this: it's going to be hard. I posted more out of surprise that I managed >50% than anything else.

Woohoo, I passed!

I think this is mainly down to the fact I did a whole load of pre-reading before the course, rather than trying to wing it. I was comfortable to say the least throughout the course.

Not as high of a pass mark as I was hoping for, but still happy!

Foundation - 81%
Practitioner - 74%
