Preparing for your exam is stressful, no matter if you are preparing for the Project Management Professional (PMP)®, PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, or Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® Exam.
So your exam simulator should make things easy for you.
This means that you have to select a simulator that is right for you. Here are some of the selection criteria that you should consider before making a buy decision:
Questions developed by a team of certified credential holders
Quality of questions
Support
The last item in the above list – using an online or offline simulator – has the most impact on how you can use the simulator. Each has benefits and drawbacks. We believe that the benefits of an online simulator outweigh those of a software installation, which is why we developed The PM Exam Simulator as an online system.
Generally speaking, a PMP® exam simulator, PMI-ACP® exam simulator or CAPM® exam simulator will come in one of two flavors:
An online simulator offers the following benefits over downloadable software that you have to install:
