For anyone feeling really disappointed and a bit humiliated at failing their first attempt at the PMP.  I can completley relate! I failed my first attemp last month. There is a silver lining however; you will be better prepared for your second attempt.  I am beyond delighted at passing my 2nd attempt at the PMP today! My study suggestions are really very basic.  In addition to reading Headfirst PMP, the forth edition of the PmBOK and Andy Crowe; complete as many practice tests as possible. Pay special attention to your incorrect questions and research the correct answers.. I took 4 full length tests in addition to about 45 tests between 50  - 100 questions each. I purchased a subscription to PMPerfect, PMstudy and about 7 iPad PMP apps. I did a brain dump of the 42 processes and 15 of the more commonly used formulas.

If I can do it, you can do it!
