Hi everyone,

I'm using the PMP exam prep package. The structure and question quality seem solid, but I’m unsure if I’m using it to its full potential. Any tips for me to help identify and improve weak areas using the platform? I got the exam simulator, but haven't tried yet!

Joshua,

The Exam Simulator is the meat of the preparatory process. That's where you'll really learn to master the material for the exam, because it's where you find out you can apply the knowledge to scenario-based questions.

Get to the simulator early and often.

I would say begin using the exam simulator to test and validate your knowledge. It does a great job of giving you feedback on the questions and/or process areas that you struggled with so that you can tailor your study approach moving forward. My personal study approach is that I would read a chapter of the PMP and then take a quiz on the material to check my learning.

Great look on your journey and wishing you the best success.

Adding to the advice already here: maximize the power of FEEDBACK from the simulator.
Always spend a good amount of time analyzing your results before starting with the next test. This will help you assimilate which areas you are well prepared in and which areas you need more focus in.
You can also take targeted tests in areas that you are not fully confident in.
