I recently took the PMP certification exam and unfortunately I did not pass. I am planning on retaking the exam. If you have any useful tips please share. Thank you in advance.

The best tip I received was to take practice tests (some are much better than others) until you scored an 80% or higher at least 3 times consecutively. Also, know what comes when in each of the phases. Lastly, go in confident, as second guessing yourself will lead you to rethink and possibly change answers that were correct.

Good luck!
Kimberly,
Thank you so much for the tip.

Most of the questions are structured to measure your grasp of concepts more than memorization. For that reason it's important to figure out exactly what you are being asked and realize that you don't need to select the correct answer, just the best of the options you are presented with. The hardest part of the PMP Exam for me was the sheer length of time and number of questions. Just completing the test is a daunting task. Is is really a mental marathon and should be treated as such.
Keep trying and I'm sure you will be a PMP in no time. Have you tried Joseph Phillip's cram course on Udemy?

I recently wrote an article about this. The first thing you have to determine is why you failed.
There are 3 main reasons people fail, and different strategies for each, whether it's language skills, experience, or preparation.

I agree with Markus.
Got his links by the way, as I am an aspirant to take a PMP soon. :)
Hopefully that would be helpful to reach our goals! Best of luck!
