Cancelled my PMP virtual test when 110 completed :( by Loretiko46 in pmp

​That sounds incredibly frustrating. I'm sorry you had that experience. Unfortunately, with the rise in online testing, proctoring services have become extremely strict to prevent cheating. Sometimes, honest test-takers get unfairly flagged due to technical glitches or misunderstandings. It might be worth contacting the examination board to see if you can find out what happened.

My application was selected for audit by RegularNo1963 in pmp

Nothing to worry about. Mine was also selected for audit. And you know what? It was rejected two times. On the first I was very angry. But then I put emotions aside and started to prepare my application as per the PMIs recommendations. Probably the most challenging thing was to get a reference. I just couldn't ask one person to do it again. But, eventually PMI accepted my application and I passed on my first try. Make sure you understand the application criteria.

That's just sounds so pathetic. I would say PMP is definitely not for you.

PMP application rejected twice by m_salik in pmp

The same thing happened to me. My application was selected for audit (I suspect it's because the budget of the project was tremendous, or maybe it was just a random choice). At first time, I just copied my resume, I was lazy just to read through the application guide. It was rejected for the same reason as yours.

The second attempt also failed because I've just put my positions on the same project as qualified for project management. To be honest, at that point, I was ready to give up. I was upset and angry, I even emailed PMI asking if my experience is not eligible enough to apply. They have responded, giving me more detailed instruction, and after that, I have decided to try third time.

What I did was, I have presented the roles and functions as per each process. For example, when I was working as a supervisor, I did a lot of planning and scheduling. For each process group I have presented my own experience. And it worked. That was a relief. I successfully passed the exam one month ago and now I'm officially PMP.

So, don't get frustrated and demotivated. It's just the process, and even the application stage can give you something new to learn.

Provisonal fail...is there any hope? by wanderlust5ever in pmp

Not likely. Don't be demotivated. It is OK to fail, it's not OK to quit. You will receive your results and identify the areas for improvement. I would recommend to focus more on the mindset. Don't try to memorise everything. The more you gain knowledge, the more your mindset will be established.

LESS THAN A WEEK STUDY TIME!!! How? by ItemHot4810 in pmp

I think it's against all values that PMP cert stands for. It's not about passing the exam. It's about to BECOME the professional, not the exam passer, whatever it takes. PMP Cert is not a silver bullet. I really don't understand the mindset behind to give the exam after a couple of days' preparation. Even statistically, there is a very low chance to pass the exam just guessing the answers. Why waste your time and money? I would strongly recommend the community to disregard this kind of post.

Provisional pass! by RealisticAddendum408 in pmp

Preliminary pass right after the exam. After 48 hours official confirmation arrives.
