Helpful tool for PMP Exam
This simulation software worked perfectly for me. It contains tests based on PMBoK Chapters and the five Process Groups. It is possible to take any approach to test your knowledge, and find out your weak points and decide what is needed to study more. Each question has detailed answers, that make the whole package extremely useful when preparing for Exam. You can start with 50 or 100 questions tests, see your timing and score, and have estimate score for the 200 questions test. Wehn you feel yourself stronger and ready to go for the 200 questions, you just try that. After the Exam I'd realized this is a good simulation that helped me a lot. I really hate to "memorize" and desperately need to understand any little piece to feel comfortable. To prepare for PMP Exam I'd used: PMBoK, PMP Exam preparation (Rita's book) and The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management by Eric Verzuh. For tests used only this software. I can not compare with other exam materials, but these worked perfectly for me. All the preparation was smooth, pleasant, and more important: efficient. It was so because of Rita's materials. Keep in mind these materials helps to learn for PMP exam, they do not make anyone a better Project Manager! Nothing can replace real work experience, struggling with deadlines, dealing strong personalities, understand and manage unspoken agenda, face over the night deadlines, etc. If I should start over again, I would go for same materials without hesitation.

I took 5 practice exams thanks to this software in the lead up to my exam. Fantastic confidence builder if you haven't done exams for a while and well recommended for getting practice at the "quirky" nature of some of the question styles used by the PMI. My only gripe was that it claims to have a level of intelligence that minimises duplicated questions but in the 5 different tests I took there was serious duplication with many, many questions appearing twice, three times and even a couple every time - which clearly skews the results somewhat. However, as part of a pack of revision material it's well worth it
