Am I guaranteed to pass the PgMP® Exam?

Red Rock Research offers an
optional first-time passing guarantee for the PgMP® exam.
This means we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The PgMP
is a difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass
the test on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't
pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't
pass the PgMP® on the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year
before your next attempt, and Red Rock will refined you the cost of the course minus
the test we have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and
be sure they give you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that
many other providers keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.
