I can not pass the PMP exam.
I have tried twice before, but seems to be lacking knowledge of closing.
I understand it on a text basis, but it will result in shortage when it comes to PMP exam.
Please give me some good advice. Saving Changes...

Tsyoshi,
Your results in the second exam are improved and that is odd that with those results you did not pass but I assure you that you were very close to passing.
1- Like Mirko mentioned, check the exam anaysis on pmi.org and see which domains and specific tasks were below target and ensure you enhance your understanding of those tasks.
2- Solve as many questions as you can, this will help you a lot.
It is difficult to advise additional study resources because you are studying in Japanese but if you do the above two recommendations, I am sure you will succeed, you are almost there. Good Luck ! Saving Changes...

First relax and don't give up!!! Read PMP tips in PMI again handbook and exam outline and make schedule for your studying between three or six months as per your situation and read PMBOK cover to cover in three or four times. After that, practice thousands of questions from PMSTUDY and Pmprecast and learn your mistakes and make score not less than 80%. Finally relax and book your exam.
Good luck!!!

Sorry to know that. Don't loose confidence.
Evaluate your test results, check the area you need to focus more. Actually it's how you interpret the question. Try to relate and answer from PMBOK perspective.
Read Rita's PMP Exam Prep 9th Ed, it has many valuable tips for passing the exam.
Practice mock tests from reputed source only. Not all tests available online are updated.
Thank you for various advice and encouragement.
Advice from everyone is very precious.
What I should do now is to encounter more problems, accumulate experience solving it, deepening the idea of ??PMBOK.
Therefore, we will purchase a new problem collection and resume learning immediately.
I will do my best to make a good report to everyone.
Thank you very much. Saving Changes...

Hi Miyagaki-San,
Your second time result is exactly as mine except in closing i had "BELOW TARGET" and i was able to pass the exam on first attempt, which means you are very close to attaining the certification. Don't give up and all the best!!!!! Saving Changes...
Hi. Your scores on the second attempt seems to have improved. Please do not lose hope you can do it better next time.
Here is something which you could do differently for your next attempt. Download the PMP exam content PDF available on PMI and then look at the task descriptions on each domain and the skills and knowledge you need to be aware of. Now since you are already know the content from PMBOK find out areas which you need to work on. You could find the information on Rita or Andy Crowe PMP books. Practice a lot of situation based questions from good sources. Plan a weekly revision for PMBOK and other books and schedule only exam days for yourself within a strict timeframe. Finally stress less during the start of the exam and think positively that you can succeed. Wish you the best. Saving Changes...

If you are able and willing to invest in taking a prep course, instead of self study, this may help you. I am unsure what prep courses are available in Japan, but I took a 4-day prep course, exam on day 5 and passed on my first try. I read the PMBOK just before the course, but didn't do any additional studying. I had been a PM for years though. If you already know the content, the prep courses can help you prepare for the test.
