Failed my PMP this past Thursday... I scored ok according to results???

OK. Tough test. But, I studied hard with Head First PMP and also took a Global Knowledge PMP boot camp class. I was scoring 85% on my practice exams. Here is the breakdown of my results... Not sure how I failed if passing score is 61%.

Initiation................................. Moderately Proficient 

Planning................................. Below Proficient

Executing............................... Moderately Proficient

Monitoring & Executing............ Below Proficient

Closing................................... Proficient

Prof & Social Responsibility..... Moderately Proficient

I would have assumed that with a breakdown like this I would have achieved the 61% needed to pass. (I had to tell my recruiter that I failed... A prospective employer was waiting on my results)

I just purchased and downloaded PMPerfect. 60 day subscription with 14 online practice PMP exams. Let's see if that helps.

I would like to point out to everyone that doing practice questions at the end of the Books like head first, rita, andy crowe is not enough. Especially head first test is too simple . you should use some good benchmarks. check the LL in this forums. PMZilla final exam is tougher than real exam so even if you score 50 or 60% there you are above average.

What I am saying is use tests which are good benchmarks and always use more than 1 source to be sure
