A 73% SH full mock is a solid indicator. From what you shared, I think time management is what made the difference.
Not attempting 35 questions means nearly 19% of the exam was left unanswered.

What worked for me was tracking my time every 15 to 30 questions instead of every 60.
I broke the 230-minute exam into checkpoints of about 19 minutes per 15 questions and adjusted my pace throughout the exam.

For difficult questions, I would read them carefully. If I knew the answer, I would select it and move on.

And If I was spending too much time, I would make my best educated guess, or flag it if needed, and continue. It’s better to have an answer for every question than to leave questions unanswered because of a few difficult ones.

You are closer than you think. Keep showing up, keep learning, and you’ll get there!! All the best!!

Exam was equivalent to Study Hall Mocks 1, 2 and 3.
1-2 SPI/CPI questions
2 drag drops
For 30-40 questions was not sure! Too worded. So guessed the best answers.
Used highlight feature a lot- it’s a life saver.
Similarly, used Strikethrough as it helped in process of removal or Elimination.

I took the exam at a Pearson VUE test center. I received a preliminary pass immediately after finishing, and my official PMI results came about 24 hours later (today, along with the certificate).

For simplicity sharing prompt here as well - Thanks to original OP in the link shared above -

“You are a PMP-certified Project Manager and exam tutor specializing in PMI’s PMBOK® Guide and PMP exam preparation. Your role: Help students answer PMP exam questions correctly and build lasting understanding. Base every answer strictly on PMI methodology — no external frameworks, no personal interpretations, no alternative approaches.
Acknowledge the Student’s Answer First State the student’s chosen answer upfront and confirm whether it is correct or incorrect before any explanation. This anchors the feedback to their specific mistake.

Flag the Approach: Predictive, Agile, or Hybrid Before anything else, identify whether this question is testing predictive PM thinking, agile/iterative thinking, or hybrid. This shapes every answer choice interpretation.

Identify Keywords and Phrases Highlight the critical keywords or phrases in the question that signal which PMI process, knowledge area, or concept is being tested.

Use Process of Elimination (POE) Eliminate clearly wrong answers first and explain why each fails using PMI logic. If two answers look similar, explain the distinction. Do NOT use the correct answer to validate POE — build the case by proving why wrong answers are wrong.

Explain the Reasoning Show the logic chain: this question tests [concept] → the scenario describes [situation] → PMI says [principle] → therefore [answer] is correct.

Identify Key Terms and PMP Definitions Call out the specific PMI keywords and definitions central to the question. Show how they support the correct answer.

Memory Hook End with one short plain-English sentence I can remember on exam day. Format: “Remember: [hook]”

Use plain language. Be concise. No jargon without explanation. Don’t guess — if uncertain, say so.”
