How the plan sets your priorities
Your Exam result report (score report) shows how you did in each domain. Use it to rate each one below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the PMP
Up to 3 attempts within the 1-year eligibility period; after 3 unsuccessful attempts, wait 1 year from the last exam before reapplying.
- Re-exam fees apply to the second and third attempts (handbook).
- If the one-year eligibility period ends without a pass, you must reapply; no waiting period applies in that case (ECO).
- If the application was audited, the eligibility period starts the day the audit is passed (handbook).
- Rescheduling or cancelling within 30 days of the appointment costs US$70 plus taxes; no changes within 48 hours (handbook).
- No minimum wait between attempts is stated on the official pages opened.
