PMP Journey: From Resistance to Above Target (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234067661)

After failing the PMP exam twice, Cartraill Love passed with Above Target in all three domains-People, Process, and Business Environment-and built a practical system that serious candidates can apply for themselves.

PMP Journey: From Resistance to Above Target is a mindset-driven guide for PMP candidates who have studied hard, reviewed the material, and taken practice exams, yet still cannot pass. Instead of repeating standard exam content or relying on memorization, it tackles the deeper issue: how candidates think, interpret scenarios, and make decisions under pressure.

Drawing from his own experience, Love presents three stages of growth: PM Mindset, the foundation of PMI-aligned thinking; PM Alignment, the process of correcting patterns through targeted review; and PM Instinct, the ability to recognize and select the right answer with confidence during the exam.

At the center of the book is the Book of Wrongs, a method that turns missed questions into correction data by exposing patterns, sharpening judgment, and reinforcing PMI-aligned thinking. Paired with it is the 13-Day Turnaround, an accelerated strategy for analyzing score reports, targeting weak areas, and consolidating knowledge before test day. The framework is completed by the 5 PM Instincts, a decision-making filter that helps candidates consistently identify the strongest answer.

This is not a traditional PMP prep book. It is a breakthrough guide for candidates who already know the material but need a better system for execution-especially those who feel stuck, are not improving on mock exams, or have failed and are determined to pass.
