Definitely ended up being harder than I thought and required way more study time. I've been in the field of project management for years now so I thought most of it would come easily. I got a rude awakening when our teacher for the class said to forget everything we know lol. Fortunately a lot of it I already applied regularly or knew about, but the exam was a b!tch! I honestly clicked submit and wasn't sure I passed even though I had been killing all of my practice tests up to that point.

You probably know this, but they just changed the exam a couple months ago which added nearly 500 pages to the PMBOK of stuff that is completely irrelevant to the construction industry. I'm so glad I passed when I did!

Same here....i’ve never felt soooooo uncomfortable submitting a test in my life. I’ve never taken such a poorly constructed exam. The questions on the actual exam ended up being so strange.
