What was your average practice test score prior to passing your PMP Exam?
Cory CoxKnowledge Manager| US NavyApo, Ap, United States
I've used a few reputable applications for test questions and cannot seam to sustain over 70% on the practice tests. I'm assuming that's not going to fly. What's a practical number? The test changes on 2 weeks so I'm stuck taking this one in 8 days. Saving Changes...
I would say to aim for 80 to be on the safe side. And try to make sure its increasing. However once you are adept on key concepts , you will need to give yourself fully on the test as well. its the key to success Saving Changes...

After doing 3-4 times the amount of questions of the exam 75%-85% score is the rule of tumb. Take into account that exam questions are situational questions. Beyond the score the important thing is the strategy you will follow. In my case, I did not spend time in a question. I market it "for review" and I going to the next. I prefer to make various revisions than waste time in thinking a question, With this strategy, I got my 3 certifications and I have 20-30 minutes left. Just my strategy, it does not mean it will work for you. Saving Changes...

Cory,
yes, the target for test scores should be above 80% - my experience with teaching PMP Prep for 20 years.
If you got 70%, this gives you 30% of questions that hint to areas with weakness you should focus on. I have seen people getting the same question wrong again and again - until they really got it.
Try to read PMBoK native and if you have a prep book only for the topics on weakness.
Do testing and learning for each knowledge area, not only for the whole content like in the real exam.
And - if you know somebody - ask people. Saving Changes...
