Dear Experts
I'm in dream to be a PMP :) and trying my level best... reading, practicing the questions & try to find out the gap. But suddenly I found, I am continuously doing mistake in silly & direct questions. Also, very poor score like 60% in HR & Communication (people always tells these are the easiest KAs in PMBOK). Also, can't score much better in EVM (though i have read all the materials, including 101 questions from prodcast)

when i write the exam chapter wise, I am getting 70~90% but i could reach even 66~70% when it's became 200 questions. Already tried one PMSTUDY, ESI & PMPforSure 100 Question. More or less Score in 60~65%. Note that, i read PMBOK, RiTA & ESI study materials. 

PLEAE PLEASE ADVICE. I have planned for exam Jan 08, 2013.. will take 5 days holiday from office.

I had the same issue about a month ago.  Try reviewing your notes and PMBOK from the back of the PMBOK forward or start with your lowest score chapters.  I found by doing this it increased my scores a lot and got me over the hump.  I also am a speed reader and found it very challenging to slow down to read the questions, so I make sure I look at a question for around a minute.  You could try reading the choices then reading the questions.  I also found studying during the day really helped me, esp. since I am not as alert at night.  Try exam central, they have easy questions, but they did help me alot with the basic concepts.  I also focused on the PMBOK, I found the review guides will only get you so far.  I also found questions that are not clear are a waste of time and will get you much lower scores plus it doesn't help raise your scores.  I bought transcender(these are nicely written with good explainations) and plan on buying PMStudy 3 paid tests. 


Good luck!

66% is not a bad score... just another 10 -15 questions right and you will be above 70%. So dont worry much... keep checking where you are making mistakes and you should be consistently crossing 70 to 75% in few days.

If you try PMZilla Tough question set then , after that other questions will seem easy. Just a suggestion.
