Hello everyone, I recently attempted my PMP exam, but unfortunately, I was not able to pass it. I would like to understand where I may have gone wrong and what I should improve before my next attempt. Before my actual exam, I had already faced significant technical issues twice during the login and exam-starting process. Because of these repeated issues, I scheduled the exam again for my third attempt. Unfortunately, even during the third attempt, I faced considerable difficulty during the system/run-up test and the exam login process. This created a lot of stress and pressure before the exam actually started. Apart from the technical difficulties, I had been preparing continuously for around 4–5 months and I felt that my preparation was quite strong. However, after the exam, I started thinking that one of my weak points may have been that I did not use the official PMI Study Hall/PMI simulator for sufficient exam-style practice. Could you please advise me what might have been the main reason for my failure and what I should change for my next attempt? Should I focus more on: • PMI Study Hall and official PMI practice questions • Full-length mock exams and exam simulations • Scenario-based questions and the PMI mindset • Reviewing my weak areas rather than studying the entire syllabus again • Improving my exam-day strategy and managing stress I have already invested around 4–5 months in continuous preparation, so I don’t want to start everything from zero. I would really appreciate your advice on how I should approach my next attempt and what mistakes I should avoid this time. Thank you in advance for your guidance and suggestions.

I have completed the course on Udemy and just paused myself before taking a Mock Exam. I think overall course is good and clears most of the PMP mindset and principals. I just need to say that solving the easy questions are not difficult for me but doing some tricky questions based on very close answers is still taking me. I hope to get guidance and discussion here from participants for such tricky questions, before i consider my self ready for exam.

Hello everyone! Does anybody here has applied for the PMP exam as a business owner? Meaning, for the experience part of it, how did you translate your business operations into PMI’s standardized project management framework? Thank you

Hello, I'm Obaid based in India and I have scheduled my PMP exam on 25th August, 2026. I gave my 2nd mock test today from the book and scored 114 out of 180. I had scored 135 out of 180 in my first mock and that was boost in my confidence. Can someone please guide me on preparing for next few days that I have before my exam?

I'm trying to figure out the best option for testing in person or at home. I will still be breastfeeding my child and I usually pump every 3 hours when away from him during the workday. Is there any chance of getting a testing accommodation to have a longer break in order to pump during the middle of the test? I don't know how breaks are managed in either format (at home or at testing center), so I don't know if it's feasible. I could certainly stretch my pump time a bit, but five hours would be pretty challenging.
