PMP exam - second chance

Hello Martin,

Sorry to hear about your failing in first attempt, but that does,happen to a lot of the aspirants.
Great to see not giving up and going for a second try. Bravo!

But you really need to improve your results to get prepared well and to assure that you do not need a third try.

Well, how can you improve results?
You already got some great tips.
Let me add just that:
From what i know so far i would recommend you strongly to analyze your results deeply and very thouroughly ... and not alone the wrong answers but also the ones, you got right.
It will help you to understand why you got them right ( sometimes it might be just luck ... ). And that will help you for future questikns too.
How can you analyze your results in that way?
Well, I do always recommend the aspirants to utilize a well selected proffesional online exam simulator, which will provide you the needed tools.
In fact it,is also very important to choose the right learnjng materials like sample questions and mock exams. The most free available stuff out there is either outdated or often just wrong and missleading.

If I where you, I would also postpone the exam date for another 30 to 60 days, take the time you need to prepare well and get the confidence you need and then go for it.

If you want me to provide you even more guidance and tips, please send me a message and I will be glad to support you.

Best of luck,

Markus

Hi Martin,

I just took the PMP again on 10/12; my scores were in the 64-70% on the mock exams. My approach, after taking three of these, was to go back and understand why I missed those questions. Understanding what outputs become inputs and why of the processes was key.

I must have written out 200 flash cards, and many pages of notes. It worked! I think if you understand the why, you will be fine.

One additional tip is to review ALL your answers, even if you got them right. Most mock tests would tell you where in PMBOK you can find additional info and you need to cross reference that on your own.

You will find that there is a certain pattern that you need to understand and master. Once you do that, you will be able bump up your score by 10-15% easily.

Hi everyone, I'm here again. What if my score on the simulators are around 70%, my big question here is, even if I have been understanding where I was wrong, lastly I was thinking that some questions are answered in automatic. I am wright?

Another question, PMI is offering me to be part of the pilot new exam and my last chance deadline is 19/04. Sounds like I'll be intrepid instead to continue with the current version, I´m try to pass the new one?

Warm regards
