I don't show up on that list. It seems like you need to opt-in somehow?

I have to use my middle name to appear. Alternatively, put in your P2R number.

I tried it and didn't come up, but I used my name and there is a possibility it hasn't yet been marked.

<sigh> I'll try again next week or something. It's been 2 weeks today.

[marctwo]

I thought they e-mailed you when the results were out?

[TotalControl]

They do, but I'm impatient and thought they may have marked it already.

I'll have to remain calm for another week and just wait for the result.

Did my P2 Foundation in 2009, found it the most boring 3 days of my life and to be honest it hasn't helped me that much (Public Sector) as we use a standard framework.

If someone else is paying and you can stand the language, then fair enough.

My new line manager is championing P2 in a big way, I've to dig my book out and re-look at it. Not feeling that to be honest.

Yes, I'd filled my bull bingo card within the first 5 minutes.

Just got my result back. I failed. By 1%.

Balls.

I've rebooked it for this Friday as I'm determined to pass it.

Unlucky.

I'm sure this time you'll be ok.

Away from the exam, I know most of what is required. Even in general conversation I can pin point what needs doing when some of my PM friends throw scenarios at me.

Passing this exam is doing my head in now. I need the cert to show that I can do the work as well as get past the recruitment bullst. I still can't believe it was only 1% that I failed by.

[Troubleatmill]

Practise mock exams.
If you know the subject matter - then it is just exam technique.

[TotalControl]

Right. Take 2. Exam techniques with revision today and exam tomorrow.

[marctwo]

Good luck. Exam technique makes a big difference.

[Troubleatmill]

How do you feel the exam went this time?

[TotalControl]

Honestly? It was definitely harder than the first and time wasn't on my side but I managed all the questions. Controlling a stage caught me out a little again but as long as I pass it, it doesn't really matter. I really dislike the way they ask questions on the paper as it just won't be like that in practical terms working in a PM type role, I imagine.

Finding bloody PMO roles is difficult as well as some of the roles ask for previous experience. But that will be a topic for another thread.

I just don't want to fork out any more money for this.

Just started the online (self study) foundation. Need to complete it by end of March.

So far so good...

Foundation exam booked for next friday. Been studying the books for a few months now so hopefully my brain won't fail on exam day.
Not looking forward to the practitioner exam if an wen I do it.
