While I trust it doesn't occur to you, certain individuals bomb the Project Management Professional (PMP)® test multiple times. Assuming you in all actuality do end up experiencing the same thing, you should stand by a year from the date of your last test before you will actually want to apply for your PMP® Certification once more.
Throughout the long term, I have observed a few justifications for why somebody keeps on bombing the test. Nonetheless - and as hard as it very well might be to hear this - on the off chance that it happens to you, you need to recognize that you are a contributor to the issue! You are the one taking and bombing the test and you ought to convey some liability regarding not having the option to pass on the grounds that many, numerous others in all actuality do figure out how to get past it every year.
Yet, then again Project Management Institute (PMI)® has made this test very troublesome, and by sitting for the test on various occasions you have demonstrated that you are significant about breezing through the test, getting your PMP Credential, and separating yourself from your companions. You can in any case keep your head as high as possible!
This means you need to accept the challenges of taking the exam so that you have a strategy for achieving success. You need to find out what your strengths and weaknesses are as a person before approaching the challenges of PMP ®.
1: You lack understanding of the PMP exam concepts
Maybe the justification behind bombing the test multiple times is basically that you don't comprehend the ideas in that frame of mind to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) or they didn't soak in as expected. While you might have concentrated on everything a few times, for reasons unknown you basically haven't had the option to inspire them to check out in a manner that permits you to apply the ideas and breeze through the test.
Activity: Get yourself a "Study Buddy". Observe somebody in your space, organization, or PMI Chapter who is additionally examining and meet with them consistently. Survey the ideas together and in particular clear up for one another how you get the ideas. You can likewise cooperate on training questions and make sense of the purposes behind your responses. Presenting a defense for why you think the response you pick is an "awesome" answer will help both you and your amigo learn and all the more critically recollect the idea. All things considered, the most effective way to learn something is to show it, couldn't you concur?
2: You struggle with standardized exams
Numerous understudies know the material, have the experience, and have arranged well, however at that point they basically "freeze up" during a state-sanctioned test. They find the tension excessively extreme and can't perform with that measure of pressure.
Activity: Unfortunately I'm not an analyst and honestly I don't have a silver shot of aiding you through this. Everybody manages test nervousness in an unexpected way. You could require a great deal of complete, 4-hour tests to set yourself up utilizing test conditions. Consider the test and opportunity to remunerate yourself for all your concentration as opposed to something unnerving to be handled. Perception, working with an associate, journaling, and building your fearlessness may likewise help.
4: You can’t handle the exam room distractions
The test rooms are not just utilized for PMP tests, so individuals will be coming in and out and there could be different interruptions. The most serious instance of this that I am aware of is an understudy who detailed that a servant came into the test room and cleaned her screen while she was taking the test - she bombed her test. Obviously, this is intriguing! Be that as it may, you ought to be prepared for any kind of interruption during the test and ready to recuperate from it rapidly (or disregard it totally).
Activity: Take your PC to your closest bistro and take 2-3 example tests not too far off in that frame of mind of all the hurrying around. Figure out how to center!
5: You didn’t take a PMP practice exam
Sadly a portion of my understudies didn't pay attention to my recommendation and endeavored to take the PMP test a few times without signing on to a PMP test system and rehearsing at home. A PMI practice test truly will assist you with performing better during the genuine article.
Activity: Sign up for a test system and take some PMP practice tests. There are numerous test systems accessible to you. You can pick between an internet-based PMP test system and PMP test system programming. Which of these two choices you pick relies upon your inclination and financial plan and it's difficult to rapidly see which is the best PMP test system out there. So guarantee that the test system comes from a respectable source (check for PMI® R.E.P.), that it offers no less than 4 complete tests, and that the inquiries are refreshed to the ongoing test standard.
6: You’ve lost confidence that you'll be a certified project manager
Subsequent to bombing the test a few times it's normal for somebody to lose trust in their capacity to pass. I see this frequently: understudies simply don't have faith in themselves any longer.
Activity: This is the second when a PMP mentor should be welcomed ready and you need to stop self-concentrate as it will never again work for you. The PMP mentor (either face to face or virtual) will work with you independently or in a tiny gathering to survey the PMP ideas and go through many test inquiries to make sense of them. This is an incredible method for getting an expert's understanding of how to move toward the inquiries and fabricate your certainty simultaneously.
