First time round I used the PMBOK® as my main study guide this was a huge mistake. Even though reading the book I understood the concepts the content wasn’t created to prepare me for the exam. The content was used as a reference for creating the exam not created to help you pass the exam.

The PMP has a high failure rate due to bad preparation more than the exam is hard. If people just study the PMBOK they will fail. They need to practice answering questions in the PMP format and with the multiple-choice format.
It is not published but it is suggested that 61% is the pass rate which equates to 106 correct answers. An applicant should be targeting 70% in practice exams at a minimum.
The PMP Exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions. 175 questions are graded and 25 are used to test new questions. You can not differentiate between questions. The questions are spilt into the 5 domains in the PMBOK of Initiation (26), Planning (48), Executing (60), Monitoring & Controlling (50), Closing (16).
You have three attempts to pass the PMP within a year. There is a retake fee associated to each time you take the exam. If you fail three times you need to wait a year from the date of your last failed exam.
