Sharique, I would be a bit blunt on this. You have failed because you were unprepared and your concepts of project management were very weak. CAPM is a much simpler exam and after having read through PMBOK Guide a couple of times and understanding the basic concepts, you should be able to pass your CAPM exam. One thing you could be doing wrong in addition to preparation, is bad time management in the exam. You might was wasting a lot of time reading and re-reading questions, and that is also due to poor preparation. If you are well-prepared, you will not have to do this. Remember, you have limited time available and you cannot fight with a question for 20 minutes... you will be eating up time from other questions, and you will then never be able to complete in time, so will fail. If you do not understand a question in first reading, leave it and move on to the next question, you can always revisit the questions you have left after you have reached the end of the exam. This approach will eave you with enough time to review those questions you have left un-attempted. Now you can give as much time left to you to these difficult questions and never guess the answers, always establish a logic to chose the right answer, even if you do not know the answer. Try process of elimination if you do not know the correct answer. Keep eliminating the impossible choices till you are left with only one, this might be the correct answer. I will advice you to prepare harder this time and attempt as many questions you can lay your hands on before you sit in the exam.
