WGU Update -- MGC1 & TPV1 Done

I passed the TPV1 today, Project+. I thought it was relatively easy compared to some of the other courses. The prep material from uCertify was perfect for the course. I studied 6 days for this one. Only recommendation is use the uCertify material, and READ the questions and how they got the answers. Remember there are 5 phases, answers from the 4th phase will not be right for the planning phase questions. If you have a good vocabulary, that will help. Also, taking the MGC1 right before actually helped as Project+ had the stages of teams (yay!) plus the types of conflict resolution, and last, the types of organizations (matrix versus functional vs project). Nice carry-over.

I took the MGC1 course 12 days before and passed. Typical test. Study what they tell you. Do the practice test at least twice with at least a mid-80 grade. As noted above, this course carries over really well into the project+ course. In hindsight, I'd probably do the Org Behavior, followed by Principles of Mgmt, then project+ back to back to back. The concepts stack and less relearning. If you were feeling ambitious and wanted to go off track/do a victory lap, doing the ITIL Foundations would fit nicely at the end of these 3. It isn't quite the same as stacking of concepts, but a lot of the ideas/concepts are interrelated to these 3 courses.

That's 36 hrs this semester currently. Have the Tech Writing and Capstone to round out the degree making it 43 hrs total for this one with 25 the previous plus semester. Yay me.
