First attempt Failed
Hello everyone, I recently attempted my PMP exam, but unfortunately, I was not able to pass it. I would like to understand where I may have gone wrong and what I should improve before my next attempt. Before my actual exam, I had already faced significant technical issues twice during the login and exam-starting process. Because of these repeated issues, I scheduled the exam again for my third attempt. Unfortunately, even during the third attempt, I faced considerable difficulty during the system/run-up test and the exam login process. This created a lot of stress and pressure before the exam actually started. Apart from the technical difficulties, I had been preparing continuously for around 4–5 months and I felt that my preparation was quite strong. However, after the exam, I started thinking that one of my weak points may have been that I did not use the official PMI Study Hall/PMI simulator for sufficient exam-style practice. Could you please advise me what might have been the main reason for my failure and what I should change for my next attempt? Should I focus more on: • PMI Study Hall and official PMI practice questions • Full-length mock exams and exam simulations • Scenario-based questions and the PMI mindset • Reviewing my weak areas rather than studying the entire syllabus again • Improving my exam-day strategy and managing stress I have already invested around 4–5 months in continuous preparation, so I don’t want to start everything from zero. I would really appreciate your advice on how I should approach my next attempt and what mistakes I should avoid this time. Thank you in advance for your guidance and suggestions.

@Waseem Nawaz I feel you, Waseem. Been there, done that (I also failed on my first attempt). Don't be discouraged: each failure is just a short break before the next success. I do believe that TIA PMP Exam Simulator is worth investing. I have no experience with PMI Study Hall, so I can't give any advice on that one. Make sure you fully understand and accept PMP Mindset. In my humble opinion, that's crucial. Make your own notes, flash cards, try to understand what logic is behind hard questions or sections which are giving you hard time. In one of my previous comments I've attached some PMP Mindset hints. Check them out. Let me know if you can't find them. Good luck, you can do it!
I PASSED PMP
Thank you @Andrew Ramdayal for all your videos, advices and tips. the only focus I think you missed is the time to be used on each question.... some times is better just to read the answers because just one make sense, that will save you a lot of time, I remember you said that answers like "do nothing", "pass the responsibility" or "punish instead colaborate" are wrong; also answers like "look for the root of the problem" are the right answers.

AFTER PMP EXAM THOUGHTS
Well, it is done. Now wait 48 hours for the results. Personally, it was a challenge against the clock. It doesn't make sense that the time is too short and the questions are too long to read. Definitely not time to think, and it doesn’t even have calculation questions. I am good at math and memorized all the formulas, but it didn’t have any questions with formulas. Also, the time was: 40 questions first, then a 10-minute recess, then until question 110, a second 10 minutes of recess. I finished with 78 minutes remaining in my second recess and still 70 questions remaining.... well, honestly, I had to read just the answers after that and barely read the question to pick the one that made more sense in less than 60 seconds. 240 minutes are not enough to answer 180 questions. Let's wait for the results, i'll keep you posted

@Sebastian Rueda Pabon Fingers crossed.
I passed the PMP exam!
Super excited to share that I passed the new PMP exam on the first try and had Above Target in all three domains! Thanks Andrew for your amazing Udemy Course and supplemental exams on the TIA website! It really helped along with PM Mindset you taught. I wore blue on exam day and celebrated with Carrot Cake and Maltina (I don't drink beer lol). I am SO EXCITED and very grateful!
