Failed CPMS - Certified Parking Management Specialist twice — what am I missing?

[LegalEagle_J]

Posting this because I'm frustrated and hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I've failed the CPMS - Certified Parking Management Specialist exam twice now. The first time I wasn't fully prepared — I know that. But the second attempt I studied hard for 8 weeks and I still came up short by about 6 points.

What I've tried:

• Official study guide cover to cover
• Practice tests on https://practicetestgeeks.com/cpms-certified-parking-management-specialist (multiple times each)
• YouTube walkthroughs for the sections I was weak in
• Flashcard deck on Anki

My weak area seems to be applying concepts in weird edge-case scenarios — I know the material but the way some questions are phrased throws me off.

Any advice from people who struggled before passing? Specifically on the application-heavy questions.

I just finished my CPMS - Certified Parking Management Specialist last month and my experience was almost identical. The exam day tips section especially — I showed up without two forms of ID the first time and nearly couldn't sit for it.
