Thank you so much for clarifying. My understanding was clearly incorrect.
Overall I felt the exam went well and was happy when I saw the 'Congratulations' message at the end
Good luck to all those due to take it, I didn't perform as well in my mock exams which were the Prepcast ones. However today I restored my confidence and self belief and managed to Pass. If I can do it anyone can!
Next, bear in mind that Pass/Fail is based on the overall score of the entire exam, not how well you did in any individual Domain. The Domains are not weighted equally: People = 42%, Process = 50% and Business Environment = 8%. That means if you hit a "needs improvement" in the Business Environment Domain, you did well enough in each of the others to make an overall "Pass."
I passed my PMP exam this morning at my first sitting. All the hard work and effort paid off.
I do have a question however as I am confused with the summary report given to me at the end. I was above target in 2 domains and 1 domain it says - Needs Improvement? I was under the impression that would have been an automatic failure?
Has anyone else got this? Not sure if I am being over critical of myself or PMI said I passed and I haven't my paranoia has kicked in!
