PcM Retake Mindset
Hey everyone - I'm preparing for my PcM retake in a few weeks and wanted to see how others who have had to take it again feel about it the second time around. It was my first test and my anxiety definitely got the better of me - content aside, I felt like I forgot how to read!
I know we don't get the same test form on a retake, but did it feel more familiar the next time around? Did the questions seem less opaque? This forum has helped a lot and I'm not short on study materials, just trying to get out of my own head and focus on the content.

I am in the same boat, In First round and my first exam failed PCM, then jumped did PJM and passed that, even though I did a different exam, I just felt so much better on my second exam I was much more relaxed and knowing what to expect was very helpful regardless of the result. for the first exam I spent too much time reading, and almost no time for practice exams, even though I feel so much comfortable confident about the content, also almost understood all the exam content and there was nothing unfamiliar during the exam, but the issue was I focused too much on details for each content, even thought understanding the content was felt amazing while didn't realize how to analyze my knowledge and apply what I learned in real examples with a short amount of time in the exam, while this caused a fail, this time I did opposite, I started with practice exams and flash cards, whenever I get a question wrong I go back to those chapters and read again, if I still feel a gap, I try to compare different resources I have, then try to find a video on that area, then go back to the exam and try to find more questions on that subject, that is how I can master my weak points and rise my % correct answers for those areas that I sueally scored lower, I have exam in few weeks too, wishing the best of luck,
