Hi Eric,
It's a really hard question to answer. If you look at the lessons learned and testimonials that we have received in the past months you'll see a number of different feedbacks:
- I do not recall anyone saying outright that the simulator is completely missing it's target
- Some students say that the simulator questions are close but not exactly like the exam
- Other students say that the simulator questions are a bit longer, but somewhat harder than the exam
- Then again there are those who say that the simulator was exactly like the exam
I have come to the conclusion that it is quite a relative thing. Every student will answer this question slightly differently, depending on the actual questions they saw on the exam.
For example we also sell The PM Formulas and some students told us outright that it was a waste of their time to study the formulas because they were really easy on the exam. But recently we've had a lot of students who were really happy that they studied the formulas so in-depth, in particular how to solve a network diagram.
So what I'm trying to say is that the simulator will give you a good cross-section of questions that you may see on the exam and that we are doing our best to continuously improve the questions and adjust them to the latest feedback we get. But whether the questions will be exactly like the ones that you will see on your exam is really hard to say.
