- How to Manage your time during the PMP Exam with Aileen Ellis.
I had a student tell me " The first time I took it the clock did not tell me when it was break time. I failed because of this fact. I sat there engrossed and concentrating on checking my answers for the first half and, since I was told by the proctor and all the exam prep instructors that I would be prompted for a break, trusted that to happen. By the time I realized something was wrong and checking and rechecking (happened simultaneously) it was too late. I called the proctor to get my break and she manually stopped the clock. It left me with 120 minutes for 107 questions :( "
At that point I decided to develop this video. That student, and about 150 others watched the video and that student passed the PMP Exam a few days later.
There is so much false (or confusing) information out there related to the PMP Exam.
My mission is to help you pass the PMP Exam without wasting time and money.

I had no idea how the exam was sorted...I was tracking there was 200 questions and no breaks! Thank Ms. Ailleen for providing the exam structure and recommendations for time management!
Hello, Aileen. I passed the PMP exam yesterday! Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm dyslexic and I have ADHD. Reading the PMBOK and Agile Practice Guide was very frustrating for me, but your videos helped me actually understand the concepts and test with confidence. I passed above target in all three areas. THANK YOU!!
Congratulations.
Aileen and her program are a very fast and comforting way to not only pass but do well on the PMP exam, the first go around. Highly recommend. Completed her course on Thursday, 20240125, and took the exam on Friday (next day), past above target. Thanks Aileen.
I completed my PMP exams and went through a similar experience. When I consulted my online invigilator after completing the first 60 questions; he told me the break would automatically pull up on the screen. I wasted close to 30 minutes sitting down and waiting for the clock until I decided to end the review; then, I realised how much time I had thrown away, which put a lot of pressure on me to complete the next two sections. I therefore think this video is a must-watch for everyone who intends to take the exams. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for breaking down the timeline and providing an approach/mindset to the exam!
Absolutely makes sense! Thank you for the warnings about the clock running and for sharing what previous test-takers have commented about the time.
I passed my PMP on 23 August-3 ATs! Most of the questions were agile. Your tips were very helpful. All the best to those who are preparing for the exam. Thanks a lot!
Appreciate the way you have broken this down. Makes it easier to develop a plan for taking the exam! Thank you!
Your training is very helpful and this video is the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much for braking this down and explaining the test sections and reviewing the timelines for each one! Love your program!

Rufine - you are very welcome.
Hi Aileen, thank you for sharing this important and informative video. It certainly helped me "mind map" the upcoming exam and how I should manage time and stay on time to complete all 180 questions in 230 minutes. I also found it helpful to know that breaks are essential and it makes no difference on my total time of exams, should one decide to skip the break. I would rather stretch and move around, then skip the breaks. :)
I am so enjoying and feel confident about my upcoming test! thanks much!!
Hi Aileen I passed the exam 3/19/2021. Having your course and the quizzes was a Blessing to me besides the help of God, because I was able to realized those concept that I was not understanding or not paying attention too. I recommend this video How to manage your time because I struggled the most with time management during the exam. At certain point I could only read the answers and pick the most reasonable and infer the question, as I was behind , having more questions than time (I do not recommend anyone doing that) . I know it was crazy not to read the question and I just stop myself and said you need to read the question, just go faster!!! I regret not taking the simulations that are available/included in the course and not replaying this video many times- as time management was a struggled-. And yes I took the two 10 minutes breaks during the exam. Do not underestimate time nor the quizzes and the exams simulation from the course. Thank you Aileen for your help, your live coaching included with the course and all the explanations that you gave us. Thank you, many Blessing to you. Sarah Santana
Sarah,

How many mock tests taken for pmp Deepak?
You are welcome.
Thanks for the video.
Please, am I allowed to take the 2x10 minutes breaks if I take the exam from home ?
Thank you Aileen, this is very helpful information! I am scheduled to sit for the exam on June, and was wondering how is the exam process will be. Lessons Learned!
Glad it was helpful! Are you a member of my PMP Exam Online Self Study Program? If not, I would love to help you. Aileen
@@AileenEllisPMPPgMP Thank you Aileen, I am currently studying with a peer. Many Thanks!
It happened to me as well and added to that the questions in second half were very difficult. I took this exam in December of 2020 and should have been more strategic.
Thank you for your comment. Hope this video can help you going forward. Aileen
Thank you Aileen for your explanation, very much helpful. I did have a question in regards to preparing for the Exam via a mock exam. Can we practice time management by taking a mock exam with 60 questions each and time the exam for 75 mins and then take another 60 question mock exam and time for another 75 mins just to gauge how well we are managing the clock in a mock exam situation in preparation for the actual exam? Thanks.

Mine came right down to the minute. I spent more time because if the tools for highlighting and marking. It was very close but i ended with all AT. I almost ran out of time.
Many people are running out of time. Great to read that you ended up with all above targets. That is the goal. Aileen
@@AileenEllisPMPPgMP I did a couple of years ago and very proud. Looking to move to pm full time. I am currently an it director\supervisor. This pandemic is a little challenging to get there. I also took care of all my PDus the first year. If you have any resources that would be great. I have 20 years + exp.
@@AileenEllisPMPPgMP btw your question breakdowns about how tricky the questions can be are very helpful
Thank you Aileen. Can it happen that you press on Submit and you are still not offered a break? I fear situations like these 🙂 Do we call a proctor then?
Also, would be great to know what you are allowed to take with you into the exam room. Do they give you a piece of paper and a pen? Do they have a calculator? Thank you!
If you click submit and you are not offered a break, check with the proctor. Most people are testing from home. There is a whiteboard and calculator available online. Most people are not using either.
@@AileenEllisPMPPgMP thank you. Passed my exam yesterday 🙂
is this an example of taking the exam in a testing center OR virtually ?
The idea so the three sections holds true for both online and in a testing center. Thanks for asking. Aileen
Hi. Is this the same for paper based test as well?
The timing is the same for all testing formats.. Where are you taking a paper based test?
Dubai
I took a simulation exam and was able to answer 100 out of 180 questions in 230 minutes... I am horrified.. have to double the speed..
Yes, I feel for most people 180 questions in 230 minutes is very difficult.
