I just wrote the pmp exam for the first time and passed with scores "above target" !
I studied for about 3 months looking at some extensive training videos, reading through PMBOK to try to understand the flow and logic instead
of memorizing and tried various simulators.
The point of a simulator is that you want a real life experience that challenges you with realistic and even tougher questions than you might see on
the real exam, You want this so you can practice your timing, get used to the length of the exam (4 hours is a long time) but also to practice the steps
you should take in reading & understanding the question, how to rule out wrong answers and pick the most logical one.
PM PrepCast is the best simulator tool out there for this purpose. I did all 1610 questions, flagged all questions I was not certain of and read the
explanations, even if I got the right answer. After some hundred questions, you start to see the logic and pattern better and noticeably improve.
I would have to say that I would not have passed the PMP exam on the first attempt with “exceed target” without the PreCast Simulator. It is well worth
the investment.
Exceeding tough task but well worth it. Thank you for the great tool and good luck to everyone.
