I've found it particularly useful to not just review the questions where I selected the wrong answer choice, but also to review the questions I ended choosing correctly. I have often guessed at the right answer and totally forgotten about it by the end of the exam practice, so running through each of the questions really helps to solidify your knowledge and understand why that answer was correct.
There's also some additional information you can gain by reading the details of the "incorrect answer choices" (especially on the questions you chose correctly), to further understand why those choices would have been incorrect. I have compiled my own Exam Practice Lessons Learned Register where I've recorded my mistakes and I go through the list before taking the next practice exam so that the last lessons are fresh in my mind. There are some concepts that begin to clarify themselves from this process which I've found to be extremely beneficial. If there's anything that still confuses me, I then refer directly to the PMBOK for guidance which is a breeze since the reference information is provided on each question. You've already been doing this to some degree as you've learned about things such as the PMB, but you need to apply it by deliberately writing and compiling that knowledge. Additionally, are you using any other source materials? Like social media for example? I've found that some groups are good and some groups are pretty awful and you can really end up confusing yourself with bogus questions/answers being shared around. I've removed myself from all groups except the ones I know have knowledgeable and trusted members within them (i.e. qualified PMP's who strictly monitor activities within the group to keep things genuine). I've found these things have been a big help and I've gone from 68% up to 90% in some of the practice exams and I hope this can help you too! Just keep going at it and ask as many questions as you can! |

Thank you for answering my questions.
I found it helpful to go back to some 'marked' questions and possibly review my answer. As you mentioned you marked some questions on a notepad, are you familiar with the corresponding option available in the PMPrepCast Simulator? That is also available on the online exam as well. Even if you decide not to go back to them and review your answer, it would still be useful when you review all the questions, because you can focus more on those you marked throughout the exam. My next question on possibly overlooking some keywords came from my experience, as sometimes I noticed that I did overlook some keywords; e.g., I thought the questions was asking me what option was correct, and I missed the EXCEPT keywords, so I would have gotten it all wrong. Typically, in that case I was struggling between at least two options (as, in fact, three out of four were correct!), so I marked it and went back to it later. While reviewing it, I finally noticed the EXCEPT word in the question, and so I could answer the question more confidently and correctly. If I hadn't reviewed it, I would have got it wrong for sure. Hope this helps, Gabriella |

Hi,
I understand it could be frustrating not to see any significant improvements in your simulation results. When reading your post, a few questions came to my mind, which may help me better understand what you are struggling with:

Hi all,
First of all I'd like to apologize for any negativity in this post, but somehow, I just couldn't seem to pass anything beyond 67%. I have all the simulator exams (for the first attempt) but I couldn't seem to get above even 70%. Since this is a world-wide exam, I'm aware that different methods work for different folks. I have even seen one post mentioning that he did not memorize the ITTO which I found it difficult because some "terminologies" can be pretty confusing and for me, I'd definitely be not sure what is the difference between e.g. project calendar and resource calendar until I have memorized both terms as well as understood the meaning stated. Even so, what are some of the study tips that work for you? Maybe I should list down what didn't work/ what has or have been my weak points:
I have been studying for about 2 months now and didn't dare to book my exam as I'm still not confident based on these results. Appreciate much for your response!
