I FAILED IN PMP FIRST ATTEMPT.

Submitted by chandrakn on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 17:35

I am sorry to say that I have failed to get PMP credential today in First attempt. My preparation was good enough for the success but may be due to following reasons for the failure. My exam scores 3-BP & 2-MP.


1. Didn't memorize the ITTO as I felt it is tough.


2. Tried only free exams scored around 70%.


3. In the exam I was reading the questions 2-3 times (lengthy questions) so time didn't


allow for me to review the questions marked.


I am planning to schedule the next attempt after one month. I need valuable suggestions from the forum to get the confidance to succeed in the next attempt.


Regards,


KNC.

Chandrakn - I am so sorry to hear that. Don't worry much now, its past. I am also a second timer. So get a confidence from me that you can surely pass the next time. I suggest you these:


1. Just read Rita (6th) and PMBok 2 times each. Make sure you read Rita questions and it's answer explanation nicely.


2. Do not get tempted to different advice as you see daily, make a fix plan and stick to it. Avoid Free test available across, you know the reason now. PMP questions are of high quality.


3. PMZilla tough questions are good eye opener. Same with Head First Questions available across. But use these during your book study period.


4. For Mock exam practice either buy all 4 PMStudy Test or PMPForSure, I do not recommend any other because you know now how PMP questions are, especially its quality.


5. IITO based questions are like 10-15 only, Dont put much head on. Try to visualize the scenario, in many questions the numbers given are not relevent at all.


6. Give 2 months of rigorous preparation again, don't hurry until you get high confidence.
