Chapter 1 : A passing guide
Not to scare you right away , but the cold , hard truth is that many who take the PMP exam do not pass. those who do not pass come from a broad cross- section of people , ranging from those who have approached the exam with estensive preparation , including books and training classes , to those who have barely expended any effort . by using this book , you are tilting the scales decidedly in your favor.
The exam is pass/fail , and to pass the PMP exam, you have to answer at least 106 questions correctly out of the 175 graded questions on the test ( more on graded questions later). that translates to 61% and if your first reaction to the 61% mark is that it does not sound very impressive , consider that this version of the exam is tougher than the one many people took. 61% is a great score , and each year , thousands of project managers do not pass.
Some people find it very difficult to understand why they can not study and make a perfect score on the PMP, It is a good thing to want to do well on the exam , but considering the incredible breadth of material , simply passing it is a terrific accomplishment. , experts disagree over some of the questions, and there will be come that you will be absolutely certain you got right that you likely missed. this has more to do with the way the questions are constructed and worked than it does with the study effort you put in, your intellectual powers or your test taking abilities
