How many weeks did you actually study for TMP? Be honest

Quick data point: I spent 7 weeks studying, 1-2 hours a day, and passed with a 85%.

The section on TMP exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.

What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.

Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:

The TMP exam is more application-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand TMP, not just whether you can define it.

My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.

Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.

Honestly? I almost canceled my exam at week 3 because I felt like I knew nothing. I was doing the same 1-2 hours a night you're describing, full time job, totally fried by the time I sat down. The material wasn't sticking and I convinced myself 6 weeks was a joke. But I'd already paid, so I figured I'd just show up and fail and at least know what it looked like.

That mindset actually saved me. Once I stopped trying to memorize everything and started doing practice questions instead, things clicked way faster. The last two weeks I switched to mostly testing myself and reviewing whatever I got wrong, and that's when it finally felt real. So yeah, 6 weeks at 1-2 hours a night is enough if you're consistent. Don't quit at the halfway point like I almost did. It gets better right when you think it won't.

Honestly? I did exactly what you're doing right now and 6 weeks was enough for me, full time job and all. But I'll be real with you, the first 3 weeks I wasted just rereading the material over and over and feeling productive. It wasn't until I switched to hammering practice questions every single night that things actually clicked. That's the one thing I'd tell you. Stop reading and start testing yourself way earlier than feels comfortable.

The practice questions show you what the exam actually cares about, which is not always what the study guides emphasize. I'd do a set, mark every one I got wrong, and the next night I'd only review those weak spots. With 1-2 hours a night that focus is everything because you don't have time to study stuff you already know. You've got this, just don't spend week 5 still doing your first practice test.
