I registered for the PMP prepcast premium package in 2020, but because it was closer to the end of the year I was mentally prepared to take the exam under the new ECO. I found prepcast very honest about the value and training that they offered with this transition. I ended up taking their booster course as well. Here’s what I liked about prepcast:
1) The self-paced training highlights key information from the PMBok and gives you additional resources not covered in the guides that are relevant
2) The exam simulator is very good at disciplining your mind for a 4 hour exam and training you to focus on reading ambiguous questions and choosing from a set of answers that all look very good.
3) The live feedback on the exam simulator was very useful in providing me with clarifications from experts when I needed them, and very promptly.
4) The detailed answers on the exam reviews were also really good at helping me learn from the right as well as the wrong answers. I learned a lot from these and how to look for hints to answer the questions.
Here’s what I think needs improvement:
1) The prepcast exam simulator questions do not resemble the exam. The actual exam is far more ambiguous. I realize the 2021 ECO was just rolled out, but I would recommend tuning the exam questions accordingly. Having said this, using a strong exam simulator is key in learning how to respond to questions even if the questions don’t resemble the actual exam. The simulator is still very good at training you to decipher questions.
