I have practiced and studied during one month and a half with the Prepcast platform, one or two tests per day (average 66% upon 1000 questions) and did one full exam test (64,4%). I was not sure I was ready to pass the real PMP exam, but I did, despite these "low" scores (meaning under 70% thershold). I was terrible at calculations and formulas, but the real exam didn't ask much about them. To choose the right answers, understanding the rationale behind them was more important than using a calculator. My main advice here is to keep confident (because you will cross several periods of doubts during the preparation and even during the real exam), work a little bit everyday and focus on the questions you failed in the prepcast. Explanations from the prepcast are a goldmine. The time spent learning from our mistakes is far greater than the time spent answering test questions. Cheers, Jonathan[/quote]
