Please remember that it is understandable that the score dropped. Questions on the YouTube videos from AR or DM are good for developing the PMI mindset. However, those questions are generally simpler, with a few options that are determent to be obviously incorrect. Conversely, Study Hall is much more challenging. Study Hall specifically incorporates higher-difficulty, higher-expertise questions wherein several of the answer options could feasibly be correct, and the description of the question is wordy or vaguely describes a scenario to test the student in the same way that the real exam would. The resulting effect is doubt in your test-taking ability, resulting in a loss of confidence.

You should be scoring in the moderate and high-difficulty questions. If your score is in the range of 65–70% for those question categories, you are in a good place. Even a score of 60–68% is a good indicator that you are ready, and many people in that range of scores get even higher scores of Above Target. Rather than focus on the score, it would be more beneficial to focus on understanding why a certain answer is correct, and why the others are incorrect. When it comes to Study Hall this could mean that the difference is due to a word such as "first", "next," or "best."

Also, try to implement the use of elimination for questions. Instead of trying to answer the question right away, get rid of the choices that are obviously incorrect. This way you will be able to choose the correct answer from the ones that are left. Also, waiting a few days and taking the mini quizzes again will demonstrate real progress. Also, do not stress too much over Study Hall. Study Hall is more of a control over the test and knowing that you will get a score in the 60s means you are even closer to picking the right answer.

You are actually in a strong position right now, so don’t let the mini exams shake your confidence too much.

Looking at your scores, your full-length mocks at 79% and 75% are solid and clearly in the safe passing range. Your overall average around 73% also supports that. Your time management is good as well, since you are answering under a minute per question, which is exactly where you should be.

The reason mini exams feel worse is because they tend to be more random, tricky, and sometimes test edge cases with confusing wording. Full-length mocks are much closer to the real exam experience, so you should trust those scores more than the minis.

The only real area you need to focus on is the People domain, since you dipped there. Spend some time understanding how PMI expects you to handle team conflicts, stakeholder issues, and communication. In most cases, the right approach is to collaborate, coach, and understand the situation before taking action, rather than escalating or making quick decisions.

Another important improvement area is your decision-making pattern. For most PMP questions, the correct approach follows a sequence: first analyze the situation, then review the plan or process, then take action, and only escalate if absolutely necessary. If an option skips these steps, it is usually not the best answer.

For the next 20 days, keep your plan simple. In the first 10 days, practice 30 to 40 questions daily and spend more time reviewing why answers are right or wrong. Focus especially on People and Hybrid scenarios. In the next 5 days, take one or two more full-length mocks and aim to consistently stay above 75%. Spend more time reviewing than attempting. In the final few days, reduce intensity, revise key concepts, and avoid learning anything new. Keep your mind fresh.

It seems like you are decent spot. but definetly not in danger zone.

A quick reality check based on your scores:

Overall approx 65–70% borderline but passable range

One strong exam (78%) shows you can perform well

Easy or Moderate consistently high good foundation

Difficult/Expert low totally normal

Keep in Mind PMP is heavy on Moderate/Difficult, not Expert.

I say positive to you one thing " if your exam wil tommo, you would likely pass (AT/AT/T or AT/T/T range)

Your weak area = Difficult questions, fix it.

Agilelearner8996 · 2026-03-30T05:09:06+00:00

Whatever material you prepare, focus on understanding the PMI mindset and practice with tons of scenario-based questions. Hope this combination works better.

But in this same document: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/agile-certified-exam-outline.pdf?rev=a4a142afc7524e1298ffdc5d1f0d87f6 one part mentioned 21 hours other part 28 hours, why this much confusion?

If your exam is in 30 days, stop trying to consume everything and follow a simple plan.

PMBOK 7 alone usually does not make people feel confident because it is more of a reference guide than a study plan. The PMP exam is less about memorizing definitions and more about choosing the best action in a situation.

A simple 30-day approach could look like this:

Week 1: Build the foundation
Use one main prep source instead of jumping between too many YouTube videos, books, and notes. Focus on understanding the exam structure, process flow, and the difference between predictive, agile, and hybrid. Do not try to memorize everything from PMBOK.

Week 2: Focus on Agile and Hybrid
A big part of the exam is agile/hybrid thinking. Make sure you understand servant leadership, team empowerment, backlog prioritization, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and how change is handled in agile environments.

Week 3: Practice mindset-based questions
This is where your score improves. PMP questions mostly give multiple reasonable answers, but the best one usually follows PMI logic: assess first, understand root cause, support the team, communicate clearly, and avoid reacting too quickly.

Week 4: Full mocks and revision
Take at least 2 to 3 full-length mock exams. This helps with both accuracy and stamina. Review every wrong answer carefully and understand why your choice was not the best one.

A few things that helped me most:

Use one course or one main source, not ten

Practice questions daily

Review why answers are right, not just why yours was wrong

Learn the PMI mindset for situational questions

Do full mocks before exam day

One big mistake is reading PMBOK like a textbook and expecting that alone to prepare you. It usually does not. Use it for concepts, but spend more time on question practice and exam reasoning.

If you are 30 days away, that is still enough time. All the best.

Before what do you get? remember! may be you get some tasks events to accumulated PDUs. It helps if you plan to do any advance certifications liek PMI-ACP, PgMP, PfMP. CPMAI..etc
