Noor in addn to all the advises please try to attempt PMP challenge questions and also identify the weak areas. I would like to remind you that in most of the questions two answers appear / seem to be most likely the correct answer if you are able to identify the two choices then practice would help.
Wish you best of luck next time if you need special guidance try attending a PMP prep course with your PMI chapter.

Once again, please do NOT use the PM Challange questions for PMP exam preparation purposes!
Espacially NOT if you have doubts about your results ...
Same, keep taking practice exams within the exam conditions. Saving Changes...

Rightly mentioned by Sergio - "Questions are scenarios", should be your line of thought while answering.

I see very good pointers provided. To add, I believe that you must understand your basics well, understand the formulas instead of just memorizing.
Practice Practice Practice, set time and solve as many questions as you can. Not only you answer but make sure to revisit all the questions you answered wrong, analyze the solution and if required read the related topic to get the answer right next time. Saving Changes...
sorry to hear that you have failed the first time, but that is not a shame.
It shows strength searching for help and i am sure you will do better next time.
It would be helpful four us to know which material you have just used yet and how your learning approach looks like so that we could give you better guidance.
May be you could elaborate a bit more on that subjects.
So long please refer to the following links which may be helpful to you:

Hello Sir,

I am very sorry to hear this from you. Project Management Professional (PMP) is not an easy exam to attempt. Lasting for 4 hours, it has 200 multiple choice questions, of which one has to answer at least 106 correctly to qualify. The exam is designed to be extremely difficult so that only the best candidates can get the certification. This is the reason why PMP holds immense value and its certificate holders get paid handsomely.
Another interested fact put across by Project Management Institute (PMI) is that approximately 80 percent of PMP exam takers fail at their very first attempt. Though this revelation should prevent aspirants from getting disheartened with failure, it is not a good place to be in. Yes, handling of poor results and disappointment can get to even the best of candidates and make them lose their confidence.
