The Exam Simulator was great.  I don't think I even saw the final 20% of the questions because there were so many.  It was easy to sit down for a few minutes at work and take a quiz or take a full exam on Saturday morning.  Reviewing the answers I missed was an excellent way to focus my studying and final review for the exam.

I just want to thank the PM Exam Simulator for helping me during the preparation for the exam. Finally, I passed the exam, and I have the PMP credential. Basically, the simulator helped me a lot in understanding the PMBOK concepts and the PMI’s philosophy in choosing the best answer for the situational questions. My recommendation, first, is to cover all the PMBOK Guide, study other sources and reinforce the concepts with the simulator. In this way, you will be confidence at the exam.

I appreciate your PM Simulator precisely because of their level of diffculty and, therefore, their level of mirroring the PMP Exam. Thank you. The only suggestion that I would make is to allow for taking the exam in various sessions. At times, the ability to gather 3-4 hours at a strtech is difficult.

I have recently passed my PMP exam, and I have the PM PrepCast coupled with the PM Exam Simulator to mostly thank for! Although I read the entire PMBok, the lessons and the practice exams definitely prepared me for the real one. After going through all of the practice exams in the PM Exam Simulator, though still nervous, I felt a lot more confident to sit in the actual exam. It prepared me for the different types of questions, and how to effectively answer those, as well as how to pace myself so I won't run out of time. I can only say "Thank you!"

It was really annoying to read the PMBOK guide due to the complexity and lot of jorgan's. But this PM Simulator was helping me to learn from my mistake. It got me into the track to help me uncover my gaps by pointing me to the specific pages in PMBOK guide in the learning mode. Added to that it was encouraging me to read the PMBOK guide to get more out it. Also the complexity of the questions,depth of coverage is great and thought provoking. I'm happy as it is worth investing the money and time with this simulator and the confidence it has built into me. Thumbs Up for all the contributor's to this PM Simulator.

I passed the PMP exam and credit goes to PMP exam simulator. Anyone can study and get the PMP insight. But to prepare for exam and pass it requires practice. It would be difficult to pass the PMP without PMP exam simulator. I took more than 6 exams and learned by reviewing all the wrong questions after each exam, and feedback provided by PMP exam simulator, which helped me to get the required understanding and efficiency to complete the exam in time with success.

The quality and content of the PM Exam Simulator was excellent. I was confident enough to take up the PMP exam after going thorugh all the mock tests in the exam.

I did clear the PMP exam with Proficient remark in 4 of the Processes. I recommend the simulator to anyone who would like to pass PMP exam in the first attempt.

The PM Exam Simulator was instrumental in my passing the PMP exam on the first try.  The exams help identify your weak areas so you don't waste time studying areas that you already have proficiency in.  I wish I had purchased them sooner than I did.  I purchased them about 2 weeks before the exam.

Hi All,

PM Exam Simulator really helped me to crack PMP Exam in the first attempt. It helped me manage my time during the exam which is equally important apart from knowing the subject. I used to take one exam / day and then review all the questions with the explanation given. This is what I did 10 days before my actual exam and it really prepared me well for the exam. Moreover, the detailed score sheet helps you which knowledge area you need to focus on.

I highly recommend PM Exam Simualator for all PMP aspirants.

Best Wishes,

I just want to say that I'm pretty sure that without taking the PM Exam Simulator exams, I would've failed to learn the PMP concepts in depth, and would've likely failed the exam.  Aside from "desensitizing" me to the testing environment and procedures (so the test I passed today was not so scary!), the exams gave me the chance to study nearly 1700 questions and organize my thinking about the PMP concepts.  I also got a chance to refine my test-taking strategies when facing difficult questions.  Lastly they gave me the chance to perfect me pace and timing through the test.  I had a very real sense this morning of how fast I needed to go in order to leave myself a "cusion" at the end for reviewing marked questions.  This was invaluable as it relieved a TON of pressure.

I would say to anyone getting ready to take the PMP Exam, "DO THIS!" if you do nothing else, because your learning and preparation will skyrocket. I'm indebted to the team at PM PrepCast and Cornelius for the great product and work they have done to make this resource available to us aspiring PMP's!

Hello Cornelius.

 

I just wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback on the purchase and use of the PM Exam Simulator.

So, just like everyone else who has used this product, I was preparing to write for my PMP and needed a tool that could assess my knowledge to give me some understanding as to where my strengths and weaknesses were in regards to the all mighty PMBOK.  I had accessed some of the 'free' simulators, including the one offered by PM Prepcast, but I wanted to also test my stamina with a four (4) hour 200 question exam.

I had studied using various methods for 2.5 months before purchasing this simulator.  I used it for about 1 month before writing the exam.  I wrote 5 full exams and scored between 65% - 80% on all of them.  I was quite confident, but still used the assessment tool at the end of the exam to know where I still needed to concentrate my study efforts, as in some of the process groups I was scoring as low as 55% on a full exam.

 

After completing the PMP exam, it was very evident that the questions from the PM simulator were more challenging and tested my skills and knowledge to level that more than adequately prepared me to write the PMP exam.

 

I passed the PMP exam and was 'proficient' in 3/5 process groups and 'moderately proficient' in the other 2 groups.  I was very satisfied with my results.

 

Thanks to the PM Simulator, I was able to sit through a four (4) hour exam quite comfortably and, I believe, had a much easier time with the questions as they were not as difficult as they were in the simulator. I have recommended the PM Prepcast and this simulator to everyone I know who is studying, or planning on studying, for a PMI exam.

 

Thanks Cornelius.

I found the PMP Exam Simulators to be a tremendous help to me during my studying for the PMP exam. I also used the PM Formula Study Guide whichn really upped my level of understanding as well as providing me the ability to breakdown and calculate the formuals quickly after working through the study guide only two times!  All-in-all, I found Cornelius Fichtner's learning materials to be extremely helpful, well-written and well-worded.  I don't think I could have passed my PMP exam without them!

I took the complete PM Simulator test 4-5 times before the real test, the questions helped me define my problem area and allowed me to go back and concentrate on them in my reviews.

I highly recommend taking the complete 4 hour test in one sitting several times to prepare yourself for the real deal.

When you take the real test, the time will go by faster than you think, and you want to have adequate time to answer all the questions to the best of your ability without too much guesswork.

I passed on the first try but I took the entire 4 hours to complete.

With multitude of options available in the market, it was not easy selecting the right exam simulator. But I did find PM Exam Simulator being mentioned about in a few web forums.

PM Exam Simulator was the only and the last simulator I tried. I passed the PMP Exam in Nov 2014. Although I had signed up for the 9 exam pack, I did not need to write more than 4.  The Process Group and Knowledge Area wise breakup of the results was the best way to identify one’s strength and weakness.  The detailed explanation of every correct/incorrect response was another way to get a good grasp of the subject.  I have almost 10-15 of my colleagues who are preparing for PMP and I have already recommended PM Exam Simulator to all of them  J .

Found the PM Exam Simulator on this site the closest to the real exam.  I did a number of practice tests and exams on the site and it was really helpful and beneficial with my studies.  I passed the exam on the first time and I can't thank PM Exam Simulator enough as it was their practice exams that made the difference!

I highly recommend the PM Exam Simulator as an extremely helpful tool to prepare for the PMP exam.  The prep exams are excellent conditioning of the brain and the body to ensure the mental stamina and focus prepared for the PM exam. Four hours are a long time to sit and most demanding on the body and quite exhausting to the brain, the prep exams are exactly what's required to successfully sit for the actual exam.  After approximately 6 or 7 prep exams the body and brain become acclimated to the type and style of questions, along with reading the PMBOK and a good training course one should be prepared to successfully pass the PM exam.  It took several attempts to personally pass the exam only wish I had used the PM Exam Simulator much sooner in my preparation.

All the Best.

I think the PM Similator is essential for taking the real PMP exam. I give it two thumbs up. My only caveat is don't get caught up acing the Similator because the actual test is totally different. The Simulator prepares you to think for the exam but I wouldn't concern myself with memorizing or thinking the Simulator is the same as the actual test.

Najib Bouchouk

Hello friends,

These are the steps I took to prepare my exam:

* I started by reading the PMBOK®-5th edition (To prepare myself for my online training session). The purpose of this first pass is just to get familiar with the material, (don’t expect to understand everything at this stage )

* During the online training sessions at the ituonline (as a self-learner for me it was the best option). I forced myself to use actively the PMBOK®-5th edition and follow the teacher, Mr. Larry Elwood in a deep dive into the PMI and PMBOK® methodology. I also used actively, a useful processes map that I found in the web made by Dimity Ivanov (I committed myself with Dimitry to translate this document to French, to help French users)

* I read the PMBOK®-5th edition once again (at this stage I started to understand the systemic approach of the PMI methodology and the purpose of the PMBOK® and the interaction between the processes and the ITTOs). Achieving this step allowed me to understand the reasons of each ITTO instead of just memorizing them. (Understanding the concept behind the PMBOK®-5th processes is a very critical part of the preparation)

* I read Rita’s Mulcahy book one time and answered to all questions.

* At this stage I decided to start to testing myself, under the exam conditions and fill the gaps if needed. To keep a track on my progress and evaluate statistically my results I bought (Cornelius Fichtner Exam Simulator) http://pm-exam-simulator.com/. It helped me a to gain confidence and have a first idea about my readiness for the exam. Another important thing about the simulator is it helped me to develop my own technique on managing the time during the real exam.

* Because one source of questions and simulation is not enough, I took other free mock exams, available on the web (2500 questions). These are some of them :

(pmi_exam questions : you should be a pmi member to have access to this material)

Oliver Lehmann's sample questions
(If you wish and you have enough time before taking your exam you can use the links mentioned by Oliver Lehmann on the answer and references part, to deepen your knowledge in Project management. If you’re member of PMI, this is the best way to start using these great html books)
 
(Mock exam from PMstudy)
 
(Mock exam from tutorials point)

mad.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=316:my-top-10-recommended-web- sites-for-free-pmp-exam-sample-questions-&catid=137:articulos&Itemid=88
(recommended free Mock exams from Cornelius Fichtner)

(mock exam Central)

Note: Just doing mock exams is not enough. I had to spend some time reviewing the questions I got wrong and understand why and find a way to fill up my gaps. For me every wrong answer was an occasion to read the related section of the PMBOK®-5th and go back to Rita Mulcahy book.
* Beside participating actively to this group there is some other valuable web resources I used actively.

(You can find all you need on this website, very nice structure, the blogs are very interesting, a big thanks to iZenbridge team)
 
(IzenBridge Youtube Channel_ Great videos!!! from Bansal Saket)

(Very nice web site with a real structured approach, a big thanks to Edward Chung )

Firebrandtraining
(well-structured course material)

* One week before my exam, I started to relax and reviewing the processes and ITTOs using the PMBOK®-5th and Dimitry’s processes map, be a part of some PMP preparation discussions and reviewing some personnel notes I made.

* One more thing, don’t forgot to be prepared physically for the exam. 4 hours is a long time and you have to stay focus until to the end, so prepare your body to handle this 

I wish you all good luck in your exam

The PMP Exam Simulator bore little or no resemblance to the actual PMP exam.

Whilst it aided with content knowledge it did not prepare me, in any way, for the real exam.

The PM Exam Simulator was one of the tools I used in studying for the PMP exam. The questions are well constructed and worded well, and the level of difficulty is also good. I love the options availble in the PM Exam Simulator. You can choose whether to take a full 200 questions PMP-like exam (you can take 9 exams in total) or just take the Quizzes with questions taken from a certain Knowledge area or a particular Domain. Before i took my PMP exam I took all the Quizzes (10 of them, matching the 10 Knowledge Areas), then i went ahead and took all the 200 questions PMP-like exam (9 of them, 1 is specifically for ITTO's). I also took the advice of Cornelius, If your score on the exams and quizzes in the PM Exam Simulator is 80% is above then you can be confident that you're ready for the real PMP exam. I would like to thank the PM Exam Simulator team, Project Management PrepCast team, and also Mr. Cornelius Fichtner for making such a wonderful exam simulator. Please keep up the good work.

Dear Cornelius,

            Yesterday (03-Dec-20140 ) i have passed my PMP in first attempt.  Actually the exam was tough but with the help of 9 practice tests which i practiced in PM exam simulator makes my life easier.  The Simulator question banks are on par with the real PMP exam.  

 I strongly recommend for the people are who interested to know the how the real exam questions will be, please make use of this tool.  After all you are going to spend 99$ , instead of spending $275 for second attempt ( incase of failure with first attempt).  This is worth investment.

 

Best wishes

The PM Exam Simulator was a great tool for preparing for the actual PMP Exam. I especially liked the fact that it recycled questions from the bank of 1800 questions so that I saw most question multiple times, which is a great way to learn material from repetition. By the time I used the simulator for the last time prior to taking the actual exam, I had answered all but maybe 70 of the 1800 questions. However, I must say that the questions on the actual exam did not mimic the style of most of the simulator questions. Specifically, the actual exam was about 80% scenario questions, with only a handful of actual ITTO questions or straightforward questions such as "The schedule compression technique associated with overlapping activities is _______." While there were a ton of those kinds of questions in the simulator, the actual exam contained very few. At any rate, I'm absolutely satisfied with the PM Ssimulator and how it helped me prepare for the actual exam.

I passed my PMP Exam on 09-10-2014 . The PM Exam Simulator was very useful in my preparation,throughout looked tailor-made for success in the PMP Exam. It mainly ,in addition to the PM Concepts in a very meticulous and a practical manner, taught how to handle the 200 questions in a composed manner without much feeling the strain of a long sit-out.

An excellent material for preparation for the PMP Accreditation Examination..

Thanks to you and PM Exam Simulator.

Dear PMP aspirant,

My journey to obtain the PMP certification last for about a year. I failed my first try; to be honest the method I used to study wasn't very effective - too much theory and very little practice.

Of course what you want is to pass on your first try. In my case I went through some desmotivation and depression. After two months re-thinking and investigating better methods to crack this exam I found PrepCast and PMP Exam Simulator from Cornelius Fichtner. I also relied on other materials such as the PMBOK 5th edition.

The materials and test simulators from Cornelius are absolutely outstanding. The key for passing is to take as many prep question as you can. The PM Exam Simulator offers you 8 full 200 questions exams. I took them all - some of them twice, mainly the ITTO one. For questions I got wrong, I went back and reviewed each one of them carefully, understood why I got them wrong. I found some of the questions were very close to the ones on the exam.

The formula summary is easy to understand and it was my main reference guide. I even ended up dumping the ones I had from other authors. 

Overall, best materials I found. You go through the prep exam, and I am sure you will pass.

Thanks Cornelius!

Hi All,

 

PM Exam Simulator is very good. The questions are really tough. It prepares you really like drilling. During my last minute PMP preparation I completely used this to practice full length 200 Q. The wrong choices are so creative and tickle your tummy. It helps you to feel relaxed in the mid of aggressive preparation.

Finally successfully I passed my PMP yesterday (October 14/2014). I’m so proud myself for holding international credential.

 

 

I would recommend this to everyone who is preparing to become certified PMP.

PM Exam Simulator is a MUST for preparing for the PMP Certification. I was able to analyze my proficient and below proficient areas and work harder on my below proficient areas better much before the PMP Certification. I do agree that reading PMBOK and real world experience provides a wealth of knowledge but PM Exam Simulator puts that knowledge in place for the PMP Certification.

 

I highly recommend PM Exam Simulator for all PMP aspirants to use the PM Exam Simulator to experience and plan their own PMP certification approach.

I am very happy with the PM Exam Simulator. Frankly, I would not have passed the real PMP Exam without it! The format and structure of the real PMP Exam is exactly like the PM Simulator. I felt prepared and ready during the real Exam because of the many hours I spent on the Simulator. Also, I purchase the Formula Study guide which helped me further be prepared for questions related to EVM, EMV, critical path, communications, six sigma, etc. The help desk is also very responsive, when I had inquired about some of the exam questions, they replied quickly. Overall, I am very happy with the products and the services OSP International has provided. I will definitely recommend it to others who might be interested in obtaining their PMP certification.

Ok, in the beginning I had a hate relationship with the PM Exam Simulator. I was cursing my existence working through those dang quizzes. I found some questions maddeningly vague and other answers that I thought were wrong.  I noticed the feedback button and gave my thoughts. I honestly didn’t expect any response.

 

However . . .

 

And this is a big however. . . .

 

I was surprised when I saw a response to my feedback. And I was stunned when I realized that PM Exam Simulator had actually read my thoughts. And then, on a subsequent quiz, I encountered the same question, but I noticed that the question had been updated, and the explanation contained my observations.

 

Wow!

 

The question update was certainly encouraging because it reinforced that I was identifying the correct Project Management elements, but I will further add that on the questions where I was just wrong, (which was most of them) I found their professional PMP customer service explanations thorough and patient.

 

I must confess though, the test question vagueness never goes away. And for good reason, the actual PMP exam takes vagary to a whole new level. So PM Exam Simulator is doing its users a favor by writing questions similar to what you WILL encounter in the exam.

 

I tested on four separate test banks and found PM Exam Simulator superior by every measure. It sounds like a trivial detail, but that stupid clock in the quizzes ticking down your demise is fantastic practice. The practice clock has the same physiological effect that you get on the PMP exam: it inspires panic.

 

Should you invest your money in this product? Let me put it to you this way.

 

On that day when you have finished the first hour of the PMP exam and have only finished 37 questions, and you realize you are woefully behind and that flutter of panic starts to spread through your belly, you will remember that you took at least 4 full PM Exam Simulator practice tests, so you are familiar with the pace; you are used to that clock ticking down, down, down; and you have scored 80% or better so you have every confidence that you have some mastery of the material. This will still the flutter and assuage the panic because you will know you can achieve your certificate goal. In that moment your hate will turn to love.

For several years now I have been coaching people and tutoring them to pass the PMP exam at www.thepmtutor.com and I have utilized many tools in this process.  However, I have become so impressed with the PM Prepcast and PM Exam Simulator.  My students tell me that the PM Exam Simulator questions are 'dead ringers' for the PMP Exam -- I can't tell you how valuable this is to me as a coach. 

So now I have this awesome three step process, I have my students listen to the PM Prepcast, I have them take the PM Exam Simulator questions and I meet with them and coach them on how to answer the questions and how to take the PMP exam, but I always know that if they score well on the PM Exam Simulator its a very likely scenario that they will actually pass the PMP exam. 

I highly reccomend the PM Exam simulator and it's 1800 high quality PMP style questions.  You will not be dissapointed.

I signed up for the exam format of 4 hour practice. I stayed for the "learning" mode and used the 100 question format un-timed with immediate feedback. The results were fantastic, I passed my exam. Having a variety of ways to look at the questions made the study less painful, and results speak for themselves.

thanks very much, i have recommended this site to two other PMP exam challengers, I am certain this site will help them as well.

The PM Exam simulator is like a God's gift for all people aspiring to take the Project Management profession seriously by achieving the PMP exam. The PM Exam simulator is the the best thing I found to clear my PMP exam. The questions provided by the PM exam simulator are framed in such a way as to provide a thorough understanding of all the Knowledge areas. So at the end when we start scoring above 80-85 % in these PM Exam Simulator mock tests we can be sure we have got it all the PMP way and can confidently attend the Exam. Honestly, The PMBOK5 and the PM Exam Simulator is all that I used to get those beautiful three letters added to my Name - PMP.

I attended one of Cornelius Fichtner's live PMP Prep Classes for PMI Orange Country and he raffled off some of his resources during  the class. I was lucky and got free access to the Simulator which cost $100 on his website. What I liked a lot about his test is the correct answers also pointed to the page number in the PMBOK for Reference. I recall fighting with some of the answers in our class book and Rita Mulcahy's tests. The questions and answers were straightforward. There is also an option to give feedback on a question which I did and there was a reply in a day or two about it. Interesting because it allows for feedack from the test takers to make the question better. I had access to Rita Mulcahy and Transcender/Kaplan test (through work) but spent most of my time with Cornelius. ... just easier to find the source of my error and more quickly fix my knowledge gap. Also - there is a learning quiz section that is really helpful if you just want to kill a few minutes with a few questions. I sincerely recommend it and that is the end of my unsolicited pluf for the https://www.pm-exam-simulator.com/.

I made good use of many of the tools offered by OSP. I bought the PMP Prepcast late last year and used that as my introduction to the formalized study of Project Management. I also ended up taking a boot camp class in March, but felt that what I had gained from the PrepCast really jump started me for the class. However, the best thing I ended up doing was using the Exam Simulator. I will admit that I took a variety of practice tests (full 4 hour tests) from various sources to try to get used to different types of questions. However, in the last two weeks before my test, I took 5 practice tests from the Simulator. Not only did they help me get used to the real time online environment of the test, but they helped me study. 

The ITTOs can be diffiicult for anyone to remember, but with the help of the exam simulator and having the answers I got incorrect spelled out in such a detailed way, the ITTOs finally made sense to me. No, I dind't memorize all of them, but by seeing them in "real world" situational questions that the Simulator provided, it just finally "clicked" for me.

In the last week before my test I studied all the questions I got incorrect from the Simulator. I was very happy to find that a great deal of those were on my real test. Not the exact questions of course, but either the knowledge area or the process in question showed up in spirit on the real test. I felt completely confident answering those on my test as I had studied them from the answers of the Simulator. By far it was the best real world application of not only the testing environment, but it closely matches the PMBOK in both language, concepts and spirit. 

I am completely pleased thus far with all the help I have received via OSP products and am convinced the Simulator helped me pass my test on my first attempt. I certainly plan to look into their products for jumpstarting my PDU efforts as well. 

All in all, I highly recommend the Simulator and OSP in general. Thanks to Cornelius and his team for a great product and product line. If you ever get into offering anything for Risk Management, I will certainly be interested! Thanks again.

I tried PM Simulator.I purchased this product to assess if I could sit through a  4 hour long exam. Thus I answered 3 full length mock exams. I did exhaust about 80% of the questions in the simulator by answering questions via  random selection #100 at a time before the exam week. I took the PMP exam on June 18th. I did not pass the exam. I  am able to recall exam questions from the  real exam and compared those to the questions in the simulator. The questions in the mock exams in the simulator  are relatively easier compared to the questions in  real exam. The real exam was structured with questions in the areas of EVM , Risk management and how managers handle team dynamics, conflicts and PDM. Although simulator had such type of questions ,these questions in the simulator were worded in a quite simple way.

I started using other free resources from PMStudy, PMzilla  and PMtraining as I did not use them for my exam and relied only on PM Simulator.  I noticed that the way exam questions in these sources  compare quite close to the type of questions in real exam.

In summary I propose that PM Simulator to introduce a lot more of graphic based  mathematical questions to help aspirants apply EVM methodology as opposed to simple application of EV formulas to simple questions. I also prpose that networking (PDM) problems are introduced in the simulator.

Thank you for asking for my feedback.

Just want to say a BIG thank you to everyone at PM Exam Simulator. The exams were incredibly helpful to me in my studies, and I passed the PMP exam on my first try. Hands down the best PMP exam simulator on the market; as close to the real exam as you could have gotten without stealing the actual exam.

 

Thanks again so much!

Hi I was able to clear the Exam a month back (P,MP,P,P,MP)and PM Exam simulator played a vital role in my success.

Thanks for this wonderful product. It does helped me attain  the much need confidence before going to the real exam. I was able to score more than 80% on all the practice tests I attempted and it became the stepping stone for cracking the PMP exam. The questions appeared to be reletively easy(if you are well prepared) but it would cover all the topics and tests your understaing of PMBOK.

I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about the exam . But as they mentioned , 80% is definite beanchmark and be honest to yourself :).

The PMP Exam Simulator was the life saver. I actually bought it just 1 week before the scheduled exam date  though I wish I had bought it earlier.

The type and level of questions in this simulator were spot-on; very realistic and helpful in preparing for the actual exam.

 

You guys Rock!

-The format and the page color is not matching at all with the real PMP exam.

-The kind of questions speacially the long ones with a big story is not the same as the real exam.

-Anyway my membership still valid to 4th of July and really I will not use it any more as it is really the first reason for me to fail in PMP exam.

After I purchased the PM Simulator, I did two full length exams and many quiz length exams for practice. By the time I got to the the real exam, it felt familiar and I was able to finish in 3 hours and pass the first time.
