You have studied the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide); you have read numerous additional study materials; you believe you have a good handle on project management theories and the application of those theories, and you feel as if you might be are ready take the PMP® exam. There is just one thing that keeps lingering in the back of your mind… the PMP® Exam consists of 180 questions (mostly multiple-choice) that must be answered in 3 hours and 50 minutes (230 minutes).
How is someone to prepare for answering 180 questions in just under four hours? That equates to just over one minute of allotted time per question. This can be intimidating to even the best test-takers.
There are many free PMP Exam Questions on the market, and free can be good for some things, but in the long run, you do get what you pay for. Some of the risks of taking free exams are that the exam questions may not have been reviewed by a subject matter expert, or it may not depict the authentic experience you will face on the real PMP® Exam. A single webpage with a list of sample test questions does not accurately represent the actual PMP® Exam testing environment.
The PMP® exam is a computer-based test with specific features and functions you will want to be comfortable with prior to taking the exam. You will need to be able to focus solely on the 180 questions in order to complete the exam in the 230 minutes allotted.
Are you willing to risk your ability to pass the PMP® Exam by using free exams that may have incorrect questions/answers and may not be formatted like the actual PMP® Exam?
A PMP® Exam Simulator offers the user the opportunity to experience a “real” exam environment prior to sitting for the exam.
