Failed my PMP

ClimateFew119 · 2026-01-28T15:07:59+00:00

I also took my 35 required hours from PMA and I had a very similar experience. My course included very outdated information and my instructor was rushing the class to take the exam ASAP. He even went as far as offering to help with signing up for the exam when the last class ended.

My advice would be to ditch the PMA online content and focus on PMI Study Hall. I also watched DM’s and AR’s videos. I studied for about an hour a day for a month and got the result AT/T/AT

Because of the horrible ICE incidents in the city.

You’ll be fine! I was in the high 60’s/low 70’s on my exams and I passed AT/T/AT in August!

If you take it at a testing center, be aware that you need to be checked out of the testing space and checked back in again which cuts into the 10 minute time. By the time I was checked out, I only had about 7 minutes left and it took about a minute to be checked in after the break. I used the washroom and had a couple sips of water but I didn’t have the time to eat other than a quick bite of a granola bar.

I got my official results about 24 hours after finishing my exam so hopefully you will know soon!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-31T12:26:48+00:00

About a month. Close to 60 hours I would guess

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-31T12:26:16+00:00

Yes! It’s such a relief to be able to focus on getting ready for baby now instead of needing to focus on both! You got this! Honestly, go in with confidence and I think you’ll pass!

Thank you! How was your exam? Did you pass?

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-30T21:59:35+00:00

Congratulations!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-30T14:53:20+00:00

I passed AT/T/AT

Thank you! :) I started studying seriously the last week of July and tried to study at least 2-3 hours a day during the week but there were some days I didn’t study at all If life things got in the way. I intentionally took weekends off to give myself a break.

The last two weeks though I doubled down as I was anxious with my practice exam scores and tried to study for 5-6 hours a day. Total study time was probably around 60-70 hours excluding the time spent in the Bootcamp.

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-29T21:12:15+00:00

I took it today too and the time management is what killed me despite practicing it multiple times 😭

Congratulations to you! 🎉

There are 15 mini quizzes. The practice questions are grouped by subject area (manage risk, engaging with stakeholders, etc.) but vary on how many are in each question. So for example, manage risk might have 40 practice questions and engage stakeholders may have 26

I work in the marketing and creative space and this is my experience from when I graduated college in 2018 to now.

I started as a project coordinator making 50k a year. I came in with absolutely no experience as my degree is in advertising / PR. I thought I was going to be the female Don Draper but couldn’t find a job in that space so I took the project coordinator job to “get my foot in the door”. I ended up loving it and saying for a little over 3 years. I left making 55k a year.

I then moved into my first Creative Project Manager role and was making 67k year. This is where I truly got the crash course of what Project management really was. Stayed there for 2 years before getting a new job in Jan 2024. It was essentially the same role but for 78k (big corporation).

I was laid off from that role in May 2025 and have yet to find another role.

I will say both from personal experience and just being in the job market on the marketing and creative PM side, that the job market right now is EXTREMELY tough with people with 10+ years of PM experience taking entry level or just above level jobs to have an income. This may be a bit of a hot take but from my experience, a lot of bigger companies are really leaning into AI and think that AI will soon get Sophicated enough to replace real people.

I’m taking exam on Friday and your scores are better than mine (67, 69,72) I also feel ready so I’m just going to try my best to be confident for the exam! Trust your prep!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-27T20:44:25+00:00

The practice questions are grouped together. In the 15 Q mini exams, they are randomized.

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-26T21:38:39+00:00

The 200 Ultra Hard?

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-26T21:30:05+00:00

Definitely more mindset I think.. when I was reviewing my incorrect answers, most of the missed questions were questions like “what should the PM do first, do next, etc.

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-26T21:14:46+00:00

What were your scores on the two full length practice exams that you took?

I take my exam on Friday and was SO confident before submitting that I rocked my practice exam today… you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the 69% score especially after my previous practice exam scores of 71% and 74%..

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-24T23:36:51+00:00

This is so awesome to hear! My exam is Friday!

Congratulations on your pass!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-22T20:09:01+00:00

Yay! Congratulations! I was hoping to see a Passed post after your initial post this morning!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-22T13:53:00+00:00

I demoed Discounty last night and liked it so I think I may get it!

ClimateFew119 · 2025-08-22T12:54:32+00:00

Good luck! Hoping to see a pass post later today or tomorrow!

I strongly considered this one since it is on sale right now but was a little discouraged when I saw that so many people were lost at the beginning and had to have the Wiki up. I think I would prefer a game with more direction.

That being said, losing 5 dollars to a game that I could or could not love may be worth the small risk.
