Noor, Very Sorry to hear your exam result. Let’s look at reasons and try to find our what went wrong. 1. In general, I recommend test takers should not try to memorize terms and questions and use question bank as a way to evaluate the understanding of project management concepts. And in most of the case, we find this knowledge grows significantly when candidate interacts about issues and queries with other aspirants. You may start participating our forum (forum.izenbridge.com) 2. If you have an idea of your weak areas better to fix them first and then take the total study approach. This point is changed from candidate to candidate; we had few candidates who reappeared in 2 weeks of the exam since they were very clear about the weakness like human resource management in exam etc , but if things are not that clear you may need to take the fresh look. 3. Lengthy questions, yes reading speed does play some role and it can be improved by developing more awareness of project management terms, so the more well you know the content faster you read them.Seema

Noor, Apart from all the advice you have received plan and appear as many MOCK test as possible, this will really help. Saving Changes...
Noor,
Do not feel sorry about this failure, take it as a stepping stone to passing as in the saying " failure is the stepping stone for success " its rightly been said.
3 key things:
Know your ITTOs perfectly
Remember key formulas and good understanding of project network diagrams
Practice enough mock exams - helps to keep you focused for the 4 hr window.
It goes without saying that memorizing PMBOK will not help, an understanding of the processes is needed.
Ritas books is an excellent reference too..

Forget about books. Make lot of exam questions and when you systematecally obtain 75%-85% of accurancy then you are ready for the exam. Remember: questions are situation questions. Saving Changes...

Practice mock-up exams until you feel confident. By practicing I also mean to simulate the exam conditions: timer, absolute silence, and using paper and pencil. Good luck in your second attempt! Saving Changes...
