Resources that helped me pass the CAPM (2021)

Hey everyone! I took the CAPM yesterday and passed with Above Target in all areas except Role of the PM (for which I got Target).

First off I wanted to thank everyone on this subreddit, I passed using all of the resources everyone else posted about. I wanted to make a post with what worked for me and comment on each of the resources I used:

- Joseph Phillips' Udemy Course (https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/) and his CAPM Cram Session (https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-exam-cram-session-pmbok6/): Both of these courses are really helpful to get an initial understanding of the concepts (wait for them to go on sale), the Cram Session isn't necessary but I think it's good to use as an overall review of everything. Also, the practice exams at the end are pretty good!

- Ricardo Vargas' Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7pN8Mjot8&ab_channel=RicardoVargas): Absolutely amazing video that everyone in this sub is (rightfully) obsessed with. I would definitely recommend watching it a few times throughout your preparation process, every time I watched it I got a better understanding of how everything ties together.

- Ricardo Vargas' Processes Flow PDF (https://ricardo-vargas.com/pmbok6-processes-flow/): This PDF is literally a godsend, it helps map everything together with the above video. I went through it and made notes, highlighting key sections and the flow of inputs/outputs which really helped consolidate my understanding of the ITTOs.

- Project Prep (https://www.projectprep.org/free-capm-practice-questions/): I haven't seen this resource mentioned much on this sub, but I love their cheat sheet, it's really concise while covering all of the core concepts. Their practice exam is also really similar to the actual exam!

- PocketPrep (aka Professional Prep): Another resource that everyone on this sub loves. It's been recently updated to have 1000 questions and I would recommend doing them all. However, the new update includes a bunch of multiple selection questions which don't really follow the format of the exam. Also, with the new update, some questions on it are unnecessarily specific, so don't be scared if your average score by the end isn't above 80% (mine was only 72% by the end).

- The in-depth study sheet by u/BobbingAround (https://www.reddit.com/r/capm/comments/kbamm7/i_made_a_spreadsheet_to_consolidate_definitions/): Their study sheet has basically all of the details you would need for the CAPM! A really good source of reference for in-depth definitions without needing to go through the PMBOK every time.

- PMBOK: I didn't read the whole thing personally, but I followed the advice of a lot of people on this sub and made sure to go through the Agile and Tailoring considerations at the beginning of each section which was definitely a good idea.

Anyways, that's everything I used to pass. I think having a wide array of resources and information was the key to understanding the content for me.

One last tip is make sure to pretend that you're writing the actual exam when doing the full-length practice exams (from Udemy, Pocket Prep or otherwise) to get yourself accustomed to answering 150 questions in a row within 3 hours.

Good luck!
