Good morning,
Yes, its a great idea that you created this forum on pm zilla.

I am interested to be part of this study club. My first attempt was on June 18th. Here is what I have completed thus far since June 18th(1st attempt exam date).

1. Took PMZill 30 Q.
2.I will be taking mock exams and reading Rita for reference until June june 27th to assess weak areas.
3. june 27th I will schedule my exam date and firm up my study plan.

I am really eager to visit this specific forum regularly for professionals who are considering to retake this exam and post questions to this forum.

Have a good day!

Hey PMP fighter,

That two months not enough for you.
You can rethink after one month.

Try your level best.

Best of luck.

If you have not taken PM Higher Learning mock PMP exam give it a try. The mock exam online is free and at the end of the test gives you breakdown on which area you are strong or weak in. Why focus on strong points when you have limited time. Simply focus on the weak areas to improve your score. Here is the link http://pmhigherlearning.com/pmpexam-1/

Thank you for sharing this link.Its a good resource but had some grammatical errors.I scored 86%. AS I am considering to reappear for the exam, I was able to compare the difficulty level of these questions to real PMP exam. I took the exam on June 18th. These questions are moderate( in terms of type of qs compared to real exam).

Hi PMP Fighter

I think the date you plan to retake your exam is too close (only 2 months). When I failed the first time it took me 5 months study to pass. Take some weeks off to clear your mind and then start again. But everyone is different and have their own study styles. Just think about it right and try to play it safe

Good luck!

Sir/Madam,

I have been reading your responses to questions to various students. I am a second time taker. I failed the first time in July of last year. I did not study hard nor did I take sample exams. I have applied to take the exam on 25th feb. I have studied Rita's book and took the practicse exams. my scores are in 65%. I took oliver Lehman 75 questions and scored 54%. I took 2 exams through Simplilearn. THe scores are 62%. I am not sure if I should postpone the exam scheduled for next month or still give it a try. I have until April 12 of this year to pass this exam.

Any candid inputs or suggestions to improve my scores is greatly appreciated. Or please advise me to look for more responses on this forum to address my dilemma.

Thank you.
