Hello, I failed the PMP exam again and I need some assistance to prepare to take it again. I really really want to pass the next time. I like study groups, however, I live close to Barrie, so there are not any up this way. Bottom line I want to get involved in a study group and perhaps have a coach assist me through the studying process Can anyone assist me? I have relatives in Toronto, so I could stay with them and attend study groups. Note: I have all the modules for the course offered at U of T (University of Toronto) and I have the 35 hours required to apply. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance any of you can provide to help me pass the PMP exam.

Put your focus on answer lot of questions (more than 400). When you get 75%-85% of good answers for each group you tried you are prepared.

Hi Dierdre,

You need to understand what went wrong in those previous attempts and try to bridge the gap.

you can study PMBOK along with Rita Mulcahy's book and once you go through them once you can keep practicing some online tests(be careful all the websites offering tests may not be accurate so choose wisely) .

You can refer projectmanagement.plus

Thanks

Suggest that you get an active group where you can do many sets of questions together and discuss the questions and answers as the PMP questions require not only remembering stuffs but also good understanding on the application of them. Anyway, all the best on your next attempt!

Study PMBOK 2 to 3 times.try Rita's simulation 4 hours exam, there you can measure your time allocation for the exam.

when you start the exam do the easy questions first then your mood will set to that,further finish your 1st 100 question before 2 hours because you will get little bit tired in that time.

As many friends said here, study PMBOK thoroughly 2-3 times, and try to attend MOCK test as much as possible, search for some good quality MOCK test, i was fooled in my first attempt of my PMP with sub-standard test available in net. try below link

http://www.effectivepmc.com/online-store/pmp-store

buy item.no 5, '5 simulated Exams' - the quality of the questions are par equal with real PMP. prices are in INR (Indian rupees). It helped me a lot for getting pass in my immediate second attempt. I hope this will be helpful to you as well.

When ever you wan to attend you have to drop a mail to them they will activate your online exam, result analysis is awesome in this. review each and every question wat went wrong....

ALL THE BEST
