Failed PjM for the third time
I am super disappointed that I failed PjM for the third time now! I passed PcM on my first attempt. I am not sure what am I doing wrong! My score is 514, is that very bad or am I close?
Please advise.

You might want to change your study strategy. Focus on first understanding the subject matter and then retaining it using active recall learning methods. I had to fail 5 exams to figure this out. I have documented this effective strategy for AREs in greater detail in my Arniko Academy Blog. Hope this helps! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

514 is not that bad at all. You were about 4-5 questions away. I am sorry you couldn't make it this time. Maybe you need to study beyond the Wiley chart. AHPP is a great book that requires much attention to pass the PCM, PJM, and CE exams. I had to read almost all of it and many chapters a few times over and over until I felt confident.
It’s perfectly okay to need more than what most people are doing. I personally find the Wiley chart insufficient for many candidates, especially for foreign-educated or non-native English speakers (like myself).

elifbayram I really appreciate your advice Elif, I totally agree with you. I just wanted to have a guide while reading the AHPP. I believe I just will keep digging. By any chance do you know what chapters address more Project Work Planning and Project Quality Control? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks! I hope it helps. I think Chapters 12 & 16 are great for Project Quality Control. Chapter 10 is great for the Project Work Planning section. Things are always integrated, though. You can't manage risks or manage the schedule without knowing the specifics of the project delivery method, or without knowing the contractual obligations of the main parties; you can't evaluate who the responsibility falls onto in a scenario. That is why I suggest a holistic and active study approach rather than brief reviews or relying on summaries, especially if earlier methods didn't give the desired result. Hope it makes sense. Wishing you the best of luck!
