Questions:
1.    How was your journey so far?
I got the reference of iZenBridge from one of my friend. You really helped me a lot whenever I had doubt. I got 24/7 exam assistance via forum and clarification sessions. It helped me a lot to pass this exam. I would say you are my backbone in passing the exam.

2.    Tell me about your brief background and why you joined the PMI-PBA program?
I have done masters previously passed B. Tech. Afterward, I went to the UK for my higher studies where I cleared my MBA as well. I came back to India, and I joined one organization as a Business Analyst. I learned things practically, but I did not know what exactly the Business Analysis. I google for a Business Analysis certificate to get expertise in Business Analysis. After research, I got two areas – PBA and CBAP. Then I realized I fit in PBA as traits of Business Analysis in project management. In the google search, I found iZenBridge online course, I contacted you to know the course content and how you are going to teach me?
I got assistance throughout my journey through clarification sessions, forum, and through the phone.

I would say assessment in study material, really really too good. Those questions helped in getting the direction for the real exam.
 
3.    Would you like to share your exam experience, what kind of questions you got?
Most of the questions I have received on analysis domain, and also in requirement traceability matrix, and many from Need Assessment Domain and the second part of planning. I got few project management questions like risk, stakeholders, etc.
I mentioned these details in forum also: http://forum.izenbridge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5169
All the material is available in the course which came in the exam.


4.     What do you think, if PMBOK is needed to read for the exam
No need to read PMBOK, study material includes everything from all relevant content of PMBOK. Videos and questions are more than sufficient. Project Management process areas covered in the online course. Seriously, I did not use any other resource besides online course.  And the next one is Business Analysis Practice Guide you suggested to read, another one which is most important I attended your clarification sessions. 

5.    Finally any advice to future test takers?
I want to say one thing, don’t mix product management with project management. Please see them in a different way. But whatever the PMBOK process areas required for you, concentrate on it. Another thing is, continuously engage in the forum, another one is watching the videos iZenBridge has provided, and take the assessment as many as possible. Go for the first set of assessments, and then just verify your gaps, and again figure out Gaps, get clarify them, and then go next set of assessments. Then you can see the much difference. It is what I have done. Three areas you need to keep in mind – Study material, Guide, as well as continuous engagement in forum and clarification session. 

You directed me a lot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
