Just got my results and I am over the moon. My advice to anyone taking the exams is to practice taking mock exams beforehand so as to get used to the time pressures and writing at speed.

Congratulations! It is hard work, but it is worth it when you get that "Red Badge"

Thanks for the congratulations. I wrote about 30 pages each exam and my hand was ok.

If I was doing this exam again, I would sacrifice neat but slower handwriting for scrawl and speed right from the start.

I wrote 35 pages for each exam and the only thing I could hold afterwards was a pint glass........which worked out well in the end

Good point - what I really meant was sacrifice neat yet slow handwriting for speed and legible scrawl!!

No, because it is more profitable for APMG that way!

So the Manager (v2) Exam is now multiple choice?...

Also, is it really necessary to write a 36000 word essay per exam to answer the questions asked during the test?

Also, where can I find mock labs for the managers exam?

No the manager's exam is still Essay

You dont have to write 30k words

You have to answer the questions in your own words - ensuring that you answer the question completely

I wrote double spaced and single sided - a lot of lists etc

The v3 program is settlign for multiple guess exams

You have roughly 35 minutes per question - so as much as you can write in that time - usually about 4-5 pages each - more if you spread it out with double spacing etc

I've done a mock exam for V3 Release, Control and Validation. It's multiple choice but not necessarily easy. Each option (there are 4) has multiple actions if you know what I mean, and while some can be eliminated right away on the grounds of being ridiculous, there isn't necessarily a big difference between the 2 best answers. You have to read the questions very carefully. I don't think they'll be giving the certificates away ie it won't be that easy.

Kind of like foundation but very much on a different level.

Unfortunately there are not very many mock exams so it's impossible to know the level of the questions in the impending (gulp) exam. 16 April.

Uni lecturer has promised a bottle of wine to everyone who scores more that 37.
