How Kannan Perumal's Passed the PMP Exam? | PMP Success Story #pmp #chennai #infocareer

PMP is my dream, my career because I was working as a. Working as a project manager for last couple of years and so PMB is my dream so I have to fulfill that. And so last three years my journey is like the last three years back itself. I tried like but I could achieve only this last December, December last week. So after I felt achieving this I felt that I fulfilled my dream and so I fulfilled my achievement. So I've moved to the last step. I feel I. I felt very much happy and I enjoyed my after December achievement. So I enjoyed my New year and I enjoyed my Bengal and so everything went well and I enjoyed this new year. So because this is my lifetime achievement. So all the credits goes to you sir. Because without you I. I would have not not happened this. So definitely I should thank you very much. More than thank you. Like I should say you are more than a mentor, you are more than a Guruji. I can call or I can say like, like, like a Gurukulam. I felt like so studying with you and so yeah let me start with my journey. Like so when I started my PMP like in 2018 I think I started my PMP like decided to write the exam and get the certificate. So I joined in some other institute to get the 35 hours PDU and that 35 hours video. I got it in the 2018 last. And then after that I studied the PMBOK. PMBOK it took like three to six months to read the full first chapter to last chapter, all the thousand pages including the agile last 300 pages. So it took nearly three months, three to six months because there was a break in between and so I could not. And then after, after, after studying all these things still like I have not got any confidence because there is no guidance after that because that company like they have not provided any further guidance after studying the course. So to write the exam. So so I'm. I was searching for some other guider or mentor or like exactly like you. So I got you luckily in my life. And so after that so I got confident. Like once I met you one day in the evening I think during Diwali or something like in November when we started EPMPH Batch 1. So myself and my other friend came in and so when I met you and so at that time I decided that okay, yeah I can achieve. Like after meeting you and after getting discussing with you I got a confidence after that I decided that okay somehow we got into the right person and right path and so I felt very much happy and confidence mainly I got confidence on that. And then I started my PMP ashurbax one and then like 2019 end we have started in January 2020 January we have done. And I took all the exams. And after like January I'm supposed to. I was supposed to take the exam. But January I felt something lacking, some still more confidence. But that time itself, I remember that he told me that Kannan, you can go and write exam. Why you are all right? So that gave me a lot of confidence. Every time, like every time when I think or whenever I got confused. So every time, whenever, like I got confused. So your wordings and your guidance like gave me confidence very much. So again I sat for one more month or two more months. And then I studied well. And then I again I came to you. And again you tell that you are ready at that any time you are ready so you can go and write. So those wordings I cannot remember. I cannot like forget in my life after that. So it took February or March. So in the March, so I paid the fees and everything. So after that the lockdown was there. And so I could not do the proctored because I felt like the disconnection may not be stable or like I may get some disturbance in my home. So I waited for to take the exam in the center. So that's why it got delayed up to November autism. Otherwise I would have completed by March or April itself. Like when I paid the exam fees. And the only thing I am not scheduled. So in the March itself I was ready actually. So after that I slowly like in the lockdown I missed so many things. And then again I picked up after once the proctored, once the test centers came open and then so I scheduled the exam in the November, but due to unavoidable circumstances, November I could not make it. And so December I again postponed. So December is the final date that I fixed because there is no other goal. So December I fixed and then I called you. And then like we prepared a three weeks plan or four weeks plan. And so I finally like got into the groove of preparing for my exam. So yeah, I'm very happy here. And then one thing I want to tell you is info carrier can be called as a guru gulam because more than teaching, like molding in all aspects, like not only teaching and they are molding the aspects of the human mindset. Everything, like including everything, behaving everything, attending the exams, everything. So I want to tell three things about the infographer. Touching means like teaching and then study materials and then final exam preparation. And then I'll finally take a talk about the exam IO my exam experience. So first I want to share my like what is the teaching experience in Info career? Yeah, teaching is very systematic, easily understandable and examples are very immemorable. And can't forget the coffee shop scenario taken for the risk management. So when that took like we really went into the coffee shop itself in the virtual world. So those kind of experience I cannot forget in my life. Risk management is a very tough chapter. What I felt before attending that session and after that I felt it is a very easy session. So that made me a lot of difference. Info Career served like they made a lot of difference on that. So I cannot forget that coffee shop experience like so that managed that helped us to help me to manage the risk management chapter entirely. And then I should talk about jlsr. He is a guruji and he's a great coach, mentor, philosopher, guru, everything, whatever applicable. So it is applicable for GLS as well. So we can call it as anything, any title. Any title. So GLSR understanding each student weak areas and providing solutions and solutions. So that is that that I felt as a strength to the info carrier and gsl. So every student uniquely they are identifying and then they are giving suggestions and then ideas and then sessions so to improve uniquely. So because everyone is preparing on their own and then like to achieve the exam. So it will take a different path. So but so guiding into the right direction so that JLSR and taking that I'm very much happy. And then JLSR is a good planner because like whenever, how, when and what. Like in the planning session we read how, when and what that you remember, everyone remembers. So whenever I remember glsrs whenever I got a question like how to prepare, how to write exam, how to like when to exam like so. So those planning JLSR is giving like. So it is like a great pressure guided by him. So that planning total planning is there in like the project management planning like exam preparation planning that JLS have guided. And that was more helpful on that. So this is on teaching and regarding study materials I want to talk about the printouts were very useful. The 10 knowledge areas with the 49 processes sequence of process that I cannot remember. Like every time GLSS will start with the 10 knowledge areas and 14 processes to refresh, refresh, refresh whenever the refresh happens. So the 10 knowledge areas and fortunate processes I will never forget in my life. It was registered in my in depth of the mind. So I cannot forget. Because whenever I see the knowledge area and processes. So immediately those wordings from JLSR will come into my mind and I will speak that that 10 knowledge and 49 processes so that I cannot forget in my life. So those study materials were very helpful. And then the the road to project success with videos itto important areas descriptions were very well given. And then the IC LEAF tests are organized in beginner, intermediate and advanced level. So that was very much giving confidence to write the exams instead of taking all the questions in one go. So a beginner like it is easy to take. And then intermediate some moderate level will be there and then advanced level. So it will be covering everything. So that that segregation is very much useful for all the learners. And one more thing I want to tell you is it all comes in the economical fees. So that is unbelievable. Like I paid just 7,600 rupees which is. Which is nothing like info carrier because I felt a lot of study materials, guidance, teaching everything they have given at a very economical price. So I should say about that. And finally I will come to my like exam preparation. How I prepared full mock tests 200 questions were very useful. Like so the mock 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is there in the ICD. So I took two of the mock tests and and then like we advised to take mock exam same time of actual tests were very useful. Like it gave me a lot of confidence. Like I scheduled 8 o' clock in the morning the live exam. So I took all the exams 200 questions exams in the morning 8 o' clock itself. So that advice from JLSR gave me a lot of confidence while writing the actual examination. So like that I cannot forget. So I took all the exams in the same time. So that is very much useful. And then the guidance sessions and advices in the last week were very useful. Like whenever I called last week, like every time I take the I take the exam like a gold pack or the Oliver Lemon whatever I took. So every time I used to call him and then he says that like okay, little bit you you can achieve more like. But still you are in the at the level of achieving the exam. So so that gave me a little boost. And then so to get more confidence and go for the exam. So last day before exam the motivation and the words like go and get the certificate that that wordings like really gave me a confidence that like otherwise I would have not got it right. Go and get the certificate. So that is the wording that boosted my confidence level a lot of. So I cannot forget those wordings in the Last days and then I played all the videos whatever in the last week we have given and so those things like it was very useful while taking the example exam. Okay, so these are all exam preparations. And then about the exam. I am coming to the exam part. Like when I onto the center and I took the exam. So for the exam experience I can say that it is very surprised to see easy questions like CPI is this SPI is this choose best answer. Okay, this is very simple question which is at our beginner level in the icb. So I got really surprised and like I. I got really more confidence. And so I Whenever I I see such questions I'll pat myself and I'll think of like how we train us like. Like this like. So I was wondering that. And so it was very like useful for that. So the questions are like the gold pack questions are really tough. But whenever. When I see the live exam so I feel very light light version of Gold packs. So that conference at the first beginning level like up to like 20 questions or 30 questions I attended. So as soon as I attended up to 50 questions so I got confidence that I will get clear. So that is one thing about the exam I want to tell and the change requests got more questions about change requests around I think 15 questions or 20 questions may be there. So I attended easily. It was. It's all straight questions like we did not worry about anything. So we can slightly read the question and then slightly answer. There is no confusion that. So it is very simple. It's not like really good gold bag or Hollywood lemon. Got it. So it is very easy. I felt and then no questions received on communication channel calculations calculate float procurement. So nothing calculation. Sir, I believe you that you. You said one time like you. You need not have any calculator or see within. Within the mouse itself we can complete the entire 200 questions and we'll not touch anything. So one mouse is enough. So using the mouse we can complete the 200 questions. So same thing I did like I have not touched anything. Just use the mouse for 200 questions and I completed and I achieved So I cannot remember. I don't know how you are predicting and you're so you're. You're like a God. So I have used the mouse and you I've the calculator. I have not used anything apart from mouse. So there is no calculations channel communication channels not there and procurement calculations nothing was there and only one or two questions received in cost calculation. But one question I am able to do that. The other question as suggested like I have selected the D option. So that was really that that tips were also worked out the final choice. So after that yeah, project charter questions and close project around 20 to 25 questions were there so that I'm able to attend that. And then I moved fast first 60 questions and I got confident that I will be clear exam I felt like selected correct answers so that gave me confidence to attend the next set of exam questions. After completing first eight main questions like I got a break. Yeah, after break I got after 18th question I got a break. Like in the break whatever Jealousr told me that you should check chocolates, you drink little water. So those things also I meticulously followed. I never took chocolate for last couple of years. So remember we like I never took chocolates like so I took chocolate on that particular break because Jealous simply advised that I should simply follow whatever he's telling. So I followed the chocolate also. I took one chocolate and then I took some biscuits and then drank some water and then I came. So so everything what I feel is like everything whatever GMSR is telling we should follow and we should, we can get it. So that's my mindset, I prepared my mind and then I have gone. So that was a really wonderful experience when I took chocolate in the breaks and then yeah, after the second half I felt next 10 to 20 questions took extra time because I felt it was a little tough. So most of the people as I said like in the first part they'll feel tough. But the second half I felt after the break I felt tough like so next 20 to 30 questions after 18th question like up to 110 question or 214th question. So I got really tough like different type of scenarios and different type of answers like which one to choose. So two best answers are there two best answers. I thought it is good. But choosing the best among the two so that really challenged me. So I'm able to manage those 20 questions like by selecting the answer and then by not selecting the answer that answer I again read the question why not? Why should not select that answer. So in that way I'm able to eliminate that within the 211 answer. So that that guidance also given by JLSR only. So all credit goes into sir.

Thank you.

And then so I didn't rush to after after 110 questions so I felt like I was very much comfortable. And then under the 60th question I have seen my clock so you will not believe me, I have not seen clock at all till 160th question okay, because 9th question also it came like the break came automatically in my pop up. So 160th question only I like seeing the clock how much time more is there? So I So I got 15 to 20 minutes. I think advance time like means I saved my time early. So after 160 at the question I went slowly like so next because I know that I have a time so I cannot rush and go slowly. And then like after that I reviewed the exam. I reviewed the sorry questions the marked for review like around 5 or 10 questions marked for review. But I remember that I have not changed my decision whatever chosen chosen first. So I have not changed my decision and changed the answer. But because as said by sir again the first decision whatever we are making that will be always right. So that mindset also worked there. And so I have not changed any market for review answers. So I left it as it is and I moved on. So on the 198th question or 199th question still I got some more answer after review 200th question. So I did not submit as I said JLSR like so you said we did not submit. Let it. Let it automatically save it and close it so that also I remember and I I left as these and I just monitoring the like screen and then let it go like so I sat last one minute idle and then it closed automatically and saved like it was a moment like I cannot forget in my life. That is my achievement. And after after it closed like I got a message saying congratulations. So that was the moment like you felt my life achievement was done. Something I have done to my world and something I have done to my me self fulfillment. And then something I have done to my info career institute and GLS and something I have done to my senior managers who are recommending this pmp so everyone should get benefited. So that's my life ambition. I am benefited and everyone is benefited now. So win win. It is a win win situation. So that situation that congratulations screen appeared on the screen that was life fulfillment. That's what I can do. So that's the happiest moment in my life.
