Hello Andres, keep it up and you'll get it next try. Can you share your study strategy so that everyone can give a useful feedback or helpful comments?. From the first glance on the result, I think you need to work more on the following points from PMI perspective: 1. Situational questions and how to analyse a situation and link it to the best answer. (use well known and reliable resources) 2. The project management processes and activities involved in each project management process group (especially executing, M&C, and closing) so that you can recognize the process group from the activities described (this also related to #1 above).
First thing i see from your exam result is that you were very near from clearing the exam , having better score in executing could have made you pass. So since you are so near you can prepare considering the gaps found in first exam.
I recently had video call with one of the candidate who failed in exam twice . Here is the recording.

Sometimes it simply going into the exam with more confidence, not unwarranted, but earned, is the difference maker. If time is not managed well, one can quickly find themselves stressed over time, not concentrating on the questions. I also did not pass my first try, and it was primarily due to my time management.
When I passed, I remember the feeling of controlling the test, not letting the test control me. I was more prepared, trusted my gut, laser like focus when reading through the question, and did not break this time until I was finished, and ready to review marked questions. That was at the 3 hour mark. i had about 15 questions marked. Mostly formula and network, as I skipped all of those my first pass through.
Andres, you'll get it the next time! Saving Changes...

The result does not matter to find where you fail to study. My recommendation is: 1-make a lot of exam questions (4 or 5 times the real exam) and when you get 80%.90% of accurancy you are ready. 2-exam simulation questions must be situational. 3-day before the exam and the exam day forget everybody related to project management and to study for the exam. 4-during the exam do not stop in a question thinking to much time. Mark it for revision and go forward with the next. Saving Changes...

Aside from all good tips, I´d also recommend that you practice a lot with Earned Value Management related questions. They are easy once the concepts are well understood and will be useful to boost your results in Monitoring. Good luck in the next attempt. Saving Changes...

Think of this event as an opportunity to learn from. You should take a few minutes and think through the areas and questions you struggled with during the exam. Write down a list of areas to improve then schedule activities to specifically help: read, mock exams, flash cards, ... Saving Changes...
