I took PMP simulator from Prepcast in Nov 2020 for my exam that was scheduled in Dec 2020. It was a tough decision to select which venor to chose as there are so many simulators available in market. After reading offerings from multiple vendors, i finally decided to chose Prepcast for 2 reasons:
1. They offered 8 sample papers
2. I was not sure if i will be able to clear my exam in Dec and was worried that a new PMP format will be released in Jan so i will have to buy a new simulator. PM prepcast was offering new version simulator free of cost with subscription. So i decided to go with Prepcast.
I was least confident in my preparation when i started taking tests. So, i read through their instructions on how to start using simulator.
Here is my experience:
1. I started with 20 questions to know how does simulator work
2. Then i took 50 questions random knowledge area test.
3. Then i reviewed all my responses and explanations. This was the best part as i could relate my logic to actual logic.
4. Response time of Prepcast customer service team is really very fast. I had few doubts and they immediately replied.
5. Then i started giving full 4 hour tests with 1 day of exam and 2nd day for review.
6. I cleared my PMP exam in first shot. Thanks to Prepcast.
7. 1 important point: The exam instructions and pre exam pointers and how to prepare for day of exam was very helpful. It helped to ease my nervousness.
Few improvement areas:
1. Actual exam gives 10 min break after 89th question. Prepcast should also add this feature. It is very difficult to sit for 4 hours without break as every minute is crucial while attempting exam
2. 3 months of validity period is too short. The time period should be extended.
Overall, i am happy and satisfied with my decision of chosing Prepcast. Thank you team.
