@Daljit Kaur Thank you so much! Apologies for my delayed response. Hope you still find this answer relevant. You’re actually in a pretty normal place for where you are in the process, especially with PMI Study Hall. Those 60–65% scores can feel discouraging, but they are very common at this stage because SH is intentionally harder and more situational than the real exam. I wasn't doing so well with SH the more mock exams I took, I did all 5! The low scores really affected my mental health, but I took a break from those intense mocks back to back and I'll suggest you do the same too. Since you’re finishing the mini exams this weekend, here’s how I would structure next week in a focused way: I would not rush into another full-length exam immediately if you’re still feeling shaky. A full exam is most useful when you’re ready to simulate endurance and consistency, not just content gaps. I would suggest this order: 1. Review every question you got wrong in Study Hall mini exams and categorize them. Focus on WHY you missed it (concept gap, misread question, or choosing the wrong mindset). This is where most of your improvement will come from. I had to create an excel and review every wrong answer which took me several hours to complete. 2. Start targeted practice questions in Study Hall. Do smaller sets (20–30 questions at a time), not full exams. Focus on Agile, People, and Situational questions since those tend to drive scores up fastest. 3. Use AR TIA simulator as confidence-building, not learning. This is important. AR’s questions are generally more straightforward than SH, so use them after SH review sessions to rebuild confidence and reinforce mindset, not as your primary learning tool. AR TIA's results boosted my confidence because I was passing those easily. 4. Take a full-length exam only when:Your mini exam scores are consistently improving (closer to 70%+ in SH), andYou can sit through practice without feeling mentally overwhelmed.

@Flashman Music Hi, I took the test in person. Yes, a calculator is provided during the PMP exam. You cannot bring your own physical calculator, but you have two options available: - Built-in Calculator: An electronic, four-function calculator built directly into the Pearson VUE testing software. - Physical Calculator: If testing at a physical center, you can request a handheld basic calculator from the proctor.
