Thank you for your video. Your stats from 2 mins onwards are fascinating. I am an experienced senior project manager, and attended the Knowledge Academy one week course and studied hard to ensure I knew all of the relevant terms and processes and roles etc. I was confident when I took the online exam, but was really disappointed to find I'd failed with a score of 50. If I'd scored 52 or more I could have it re-counted, but I was not close enough and having it re-marked cost around £550! I didn't really understand why I'd failed and it took me a while to get the vague details back - it's such a shame that you can't actually get your questions and responses back marked - basically it's really hard to have any idea how to improve. I think that perhaps my exam technique was not perfect, as it's really important to understand the difference from how the questions are worded, from 'explain' and 'describe' and 'state' etc. I decided to re-take the exam at a personal cost of over £400 and took it last week. Again I'm confident I've passed and I certainly know so much on this subject now, I feel I could teach it now! However, watching this video has actually made me think that it might be bit of a con, and I think that the guidance answers and marking scheme is purposefully vague, to reduce the chance of people challenging. The more people fail, the more money they will make, and the cost of re-marking is so unnecessarily high. I think if I fail again, I might challenge it, although not sure how. I don't understand how they are regulated and surely there must be quality control aspects to this and transparency - as per the project management skills they are testing us on - but I am concerned that they don't share their pass rates - it does seem quite unusual and I am certainly of the opinion that something not quite right is going on here. I know the exam is moving to be multiple choice, but I wonder how this will work effectively, and if you fail, what you will receive back - I doubt it will be the questions and answers.

Hi, Just sat the exam these were really helpful thank you! Helped me cover some last minute topics I had not went into to much detail on... Now to wait for the results. I managed to answer all ten questions, felt like a slipped up on a 20 marker due to me forgetting the belbin model but am hoping the others bring me above the 55%.

I'm going to resit exams this January. I did not pass my first attempt and I don't know why, I ate the whole AMP book, and all source documents, and nearly every question got " knowledge confirmed " yet, didn't pass. Thank you for your video, I will try to take into account everything from it. Hopefully, I will pass this time.
