If your Study Hall practice exam scores are lower than you expected, you are not alone. This is a very common experience for PMP Students, but the good news is that it does not predict failure on the real exam – here is the most common PMP passing score.
Why Study Hall Is Tricky
Study Hall practice exams are notoriously difficult. Many PMP students do well on other practice platforms and then are thrown off by the difficulty level on Study Hall. This does not mean you are unprepared.
The Most Common Passing PMP Score
Thousands of students have passed the PMP exam with scores of approximately 68% on average on Study Hall. Some score higher and some score lower, but the real key is to study any questions you get wrong to find out exactly why the answer is what it is. If and when you’re getting 68% or more, you are on the right track.
The Key Strategy
Do not just move past wrong answers. Review every question you get wrong for its concept or idea in the PMBOK Guide. Understand why the correct answer is correct. Learn the concept behind it. This is when you’ll really start making progress.
The Compounding Effect
Each review session then makes you stronger. Each wrong answer also becomes a learning opportunity. If you approach Study Hall this way, treating it as a learning tool rather than a pass or fail test, you will improve consistently.
Stay focused on learning, not on the score. Review your wrong answers thoroughly and I know you will pass your PMP exam.
