Failed PMP today (4 MP + 1 BP) advice needed
Hi Team
Unfortuantely Today I failed my PMP exam
Results:
Initiating = Moderatley Proficient
Planning = Moderately Profcient
Executing = Moderately Proficient
Monitor&Control = Below Proficient
Closing = Moderately Proficient
Study Plan: duration 3 months
Rita Book (read once and skimmed over second time for review)
Rita End of chapter test questions(65-85%)
Rita Fast Track Exam simulation software(65%)
Reviewed what I got wrong and retested on the Process groups ~20 questions per group (~ 75-80%)
PMP exam Analysis
Just barely completed exam on time, took entire 4 hours with 2 short pee breaks. but seems like I just missed a passing score.
The exam seemed to ask the same types of questions over a few times, not sure if this is a result of the exam being computer adaptive??? does anyone have any thoughts on this, for example lets say you answer a question does the computer generate the next question based on the answer submited from the previous question??
Overall what I took away was that there needed to be a clear understand of the core concepts. I seem to recall many questions on EVM calculations which I struggled on. In addition I recall alot of questions on Quality and Risk.
Advice needed
Should I continue with the same study approach and just focus on the M&C knowelege area?? Any suggestions??
Thnx
Jo

Total is 300 questions that you did, I think you don't study enough, you should practice more, study hard, to study your gap.
You should: buy 3 pmstudy(included 1 freee). Address which knowledge you scored below 75%, and improve which scored higher 75%.
Practice more on Rita Fasttrack, learly understand what is still ambiguous.
Good luck!!!
