Participants applying for the PMP re-examination will be given 2 chances to pass within a year. Those attempting the exam for the second and the third time will have to pay an additional fee of $275 (PMI members) or $375 (non-members). In case the student is unable to pass in the first 3 attempts, he will have to wait for a year to re-appear for the examination.

According to a survey conducted on PMP aspirants, the average time required to prepare for PMP certification exam is around 2-months with 3 hours of exam prep studies each-day Or minimum 23 days of preparation if one dedicates 8 hours a day.
