I had a wonderful experience in writing the PMP in September and predcast was a big part of that.
The simulations are very good and if you are able to score above 70% on your 1st attempt on the simulations then you are more than ready. What I like about it, is that the explanations are detailed and refer to where you can locate it in the PMBOK. I believe this is the best measuring tool out there for this exam.
I don't think there are short cuts for preparing, especially if you are really trying to learn the theory behind projects. Spend time learning the material, so you can go through it just once. Also, invest in resources that will break down the content to your level of understanding, it makes the experience a lot more easier and actually pushes you to study. Build momentum and leverage it as best as possible, so by time you get to the second half of the content, you still have the strength to push though.
I spent about 3 hours each day for about 2 months and that was sufficient, as I scored above target in all areas. I wrote the exam from home and I was happy to noticed you have an optional 10 minutes break after each 60 questions.
All the best for those who are preparing for their exam and if you are using predcast, you are already on track for success.
