Thanks for your tips it will be really useful but I think I have already cleared step 1-3 and performing step 4-5 Pam prep cast two exams given and passed with above 70%. For me it’s always difficult to remember in the line by line but I can’t remember the concept and my given knowledge in the project (issues ) make me remember what has to do. May be I don’t have experience of good practice ( either because of handled small project) but knowledge gained is really useful for exam.

You must remember ITTOs logically, why?
I would like to elaborate little more...
For example let say if i say where we use quality Audit.
1. Is it tools and techniques? Yes
2. Which Knowledge Area? Project quality management - Manage Quality
3. Which process group? “Execution”
4. Why we use it? To identify are we following best practices, to find gaps and shortcomings, improvements....
Furthermore, during exam you will have only 75 sec to read question and answer correctly
1. When you read question you must understand where it is from (Int., PL., Ex., M&C, and CLS).
2. from which knowledge Area?
3. Is it asking you about input / tools and techniques / output / ....

I have heard conflicting information from different, but all credible, sources. Some say you need to get a specific number correct (and that it's around 65%), others say that each question is scored based on how difficult it is, so it is impossible to say what the "passing score" is. One person could get an exam full of easy questions, but they need to answer many more correctly to pass than another person who gets an exam with more difficult questions.
I recently took the exam... twice! And I passed the second time, on Friday (although I didn't really study between exams... I was busy applying for a promising job lead instead!). Here was my experience:
The first time I took the exam, I had done a self-paced boot-camp. I used the PMTraining website's on-demand videos and materials, in addition to the PMBOK guide, and took an entire week off of work to study night and day. This really isn't the best method, but my job didn't give me any free time. I took several mock exams, numerous quizzes, scored very highly on them, and felt confident.
When I was taking the PMP exam, it was difficult for me to tell if I was just exhausted from all the studying, but many of the questions were not obvious answers for me. It was a very challenging exam, but I still felt okay. When I got my results (the computerized exams return your results within a few minutes), it looks like I had come very close to passing, but I would need to retake the exam.
I scheduled my re-exam for three weeks later. I went through Rita's book the night before (again, I do not recommend doing it this way!!!), and reviewed my notes from earlier. One of the benefits of retaking the exam was your results tell you which subject areas you need to focus on. I scored very well on planning, so I didn't review planning at all.
When I took the exam the second time, some of the questions were exactly the same. These could have been the 25 tester questions, or I could have had a second chance at these. But, overall, my exam was much easier this time. Maybe I was less exhausted, but most of the questions I was able to rule out two options, and 25% of the questions I knew the correct answer right away. I was not expecting to pass this time because I didn't have time to study, but I passed from the studying I had done before my first try!
I would say, study as if you needed to get an 80% to pass (and save yourself some money). I have heard people typically score lower on the actual PMP test than they do on the mock exams, even when the mocks are very well done. That was the case for me.
Good luck! Saving Changes...

It's more of an algorithm based on the difficulty of the questions selected from the bank. Not a straight percentage. Saving Changes...
Nice contributions from everyone. I have my exam on Friday 15th, I’ve been preparing but I believe not enough, I intend to commence intensely preparation from this week. I passed my CAPM few weeks ago but I know PMP is more difficult Saving Changes...
Hi I gonna share my expirience.
1. Take a course and create a comunity that help You to study.
2. Read the PMBook 1st tome
3. Read Rita Book, its explaniation are greats.
4. Start for doing some exams, Rita and Pablo Lledó Books can help You.
5. Get a simulator for doing examen.
6. I recommend to do at least 2 complete exams un the simulator, your body have to he ready for the real examen.
7. Memorize areas and process matrix and costa formulas.
8. You need to have a max oficina question for skkiping if you don't know the answer, no more that 20.
