So, you have failed the PMP exam ... What can you do now?
The first thing you should do is remember that you are not alone! It happens all the time. Although we do not necessarily know the exact failure rate, it is a very difficult exam, and you should not be too hard on yourself for failing.
With this article, I want to not only help you work through the pain and frustration of having failed the exam, but I will also give you a list of actionable items to work on so that you can successfully prepare for your next attempt.
And we will start by answering the question 'How many people actually fail the exam?'
