Yesterday I passed the CAPM, online. Hope this helps to kickstart my PM career.

I have always
been working in operations, so some previous knowledge there.

Thank you all for your support and guidance previous to the exam.

I hope this helps others.

Exam Experience:

 I was expecting a pause after 100 questions, which was not offered. Less water would
be a sound idea.
 The app is full screen, so you do not see how much battery is left. And it drinks battery.
Mine was empty after 100 questions, turned off, I had my own miniheartattack, and 5 min
later I was back on track
 Got really stressed about the time, as I was not going as fast as I did on the practice test.
After reviewing all flagged questions, still 50 min left, so I would suggest future takers
not to stress about that.
 Followed Instructor Joe's recommendation and answered every question, flagging all
that I doubted.
 ITTOs are logical for the most part. Following Instructor Joe's strategy of discarding
answers that make no sense got me through half the exam.
 The paint app works perfectly fine, and so does the calculator.

Study materials:

 Joseph Phillips' Udemy CAPM-pmbok6 course

 PMBOK 6
 Youtube videos
 Pocket Prep
 Ricardo Vargas Processes

Study Approach:

 5 weeks, 88h. Way too long. I spent too much time making sure I understood
everything. If I had to do it again, I would set a target of viewing 2-3 sections of the total
22 per day, at 1.75% speed. First thing you want is a general picture, and the course is
very good at giving you that. Blitz review at the end is gold.
 After the 3rd week, I took the 800 questions on Pocket Prep, in 3 days, activating the
"do not show correct/incorrect until the end of the exam" thingie. The idea was only to
find out what areas gave me the best chance for improvement. I put all my results in a
sheet, and found 5 exam areas worth working on; the rest were over 80%. I DID NOT
REVIEW ANY OF THE EXPLANATIONS, I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN THE
TEST AS AN INDICATOR. Reasoning behind this is Pareto. If I planned this now, I
 would also add a factor to take exam percentage of each area into account, that was a
serious mistake.
 Spent another 3 days reviewing those areas, now with the PMBOK and in deep detail.
If I had more areas, that would have meant more days.
 Once done, I did another round of the 800 questions, this time in 2 days. That is why I
did not want see what was correct and what was not on the first round, should I could use
the same testing as indicator of my newly acquired knowledge. This time, flagged every
question I had doubts with. Now I was over 80% in every area, so I scheduled the exam
for the next available day, and reviewed the explanations for each flagged or incorrect
question.
 Short review the morning before the exam (1h review 2h before the exam)

Specially useful youtube videos:
