EVM questions without giving all of the required factors
Failed on 4/13. I had had some medical issues and knew I was not prepared. i will resubmit and take again soon. I had a high confidence level whaen I finished but received 3 BP and 2 MPs. My real question is about something I had not been able to master. All of the EVM question and formulas are very easy for me. I never had an issue or missed any on the pracice exams. On the test I was givin senarios requireing EVM calulations. The issue was that the required information was not there. Of course it was but that is my issue. Lets say you must calulate the CV. :The formulas is EV-AC. neither the EV or AC was givin in the scenario. In the practice exams I had some like this and would just use the formula for the missing factor i.e. AC and see if the other required factors were in the question. They were always there. SOme advised me that this may not have been calulation questions at all. They were becasue the only answeres were numbers only. I'm sure the anser is simple but it is not clear. Any help would be appriciated.

I dont think that some
I dont think that some atypical math question can decide pass vs fail. If you are prepared in other areas you should have been able to clear. EVM questions are not more than 3 to 5 per exam
Having said that, please go though all the formulas and I am sure something will apply , if it does not, then maybe its a common sense questions.
