A failed PMP® attempt is rarely a knowledge problem by default. More often it is a strategy, pacing, reasoning, or exam-day decision gap. PMP® Retake Recovery is a private score-report assessment with Dr. Charlene Parks, DBA · PhD · PMP · LSSBB, built to identify what likely cost you the exam and map a focused recovery path for your next sitting.
Your initial score-report review, approach summary, and consult come first. If the recovery path is a fit, paid support begins only after you choose to enroll. Final fees depend on the score report, timeline, readiness gap, and level of support.
If you have not tested yet, the cohort or a self-paced path fits better. This assessment is for candidates with a real attempt and a score report in hand.
The score-report review is not the paid product. It is the starting point for deciding which recovery engagement, if any, makes sense.
from $750
Best when one primary domain, behavior, or decision pattern appears to have cost the attempt.
from $1,500
Best for repeated attempts, multiple weak areas, or candidates who need structure through the retake decision.
from $995
Best when the retake window is close and the work needs to focus on the highest-return recovery actions.
You already know the material. The gap is usually in how the exam is read, paced, and reasoned through, not in what you studied.
The exam rewards the best next action in a scenario, not the textbook definition. Candidates who studied terms often miss the reasoning the questions are actually testing.
Under the 2026 exam, Business Environment carries far more weight than it used to. Materials built for the old split leave many candidates thin in exactly the area that grew.
Time management and test-day nerves sink prepared candidates. Recovery work treats these as trainable skills, not character flaws.
We review your results and identify where points were most likely lost, by domain, decision pattern, and exam behavior.
Re-anchor on how PMI frames the best action, so several "correct-looking" choices stop tripping you up.
A focused recovery path for your weakest domain, with extra attention on Business Environment given its expanded weight.
Scenario-based practice with full distractor rationale, aligned to the way the real exam is written.
A concrete time plan, flag-and-return discipline, and a calmer approach to the testing environment.
A clear path to your next sitting with milestones and readiness checks, so you book when you are genuinely ready.
For more than 15 years I've helped professionals turn real project experience into the credentials and roles it deserves. PMP® Retake Recovery exists because a missed attempt usually needs a sharper diagnosis and a tighter recovery path, not the same prep done louder.
As a PMI Authorized Training Partner Instructor and PMP Training Academy founder, my focus is connecting exam strategy to the way project decisions actually work, so your next attempt is built on judgment, not guesswork.
The assessment is honest by design. That honesty is the point of having a real expert review the attempt instead of relying on a generic retake script.
A clear diagnosis of what likely went wrong, a focused recovery roadmap, scenario-based practice, pacing and mindset strategy, and direct accountability through your retake plan.
No program can honestly guarantee a pass, and any that does is selling a slogan, not preparation. We won't promise a result. We will give you the clearest, most credible path back to ready.
