When I started studying PMP, There were many options to choose from. After researching & reading feedbacks, I decided to go with PrepCast. Initially, I opted for 1-week free simulator & then I went with full access. The good thing about PrepCast is, you have the option to learn with & without time restrictions. Some pro/cons (not actually cons but I can see areas of improvements)
Pro:
1. 1600 questions are a lot.
2. Flexibility to choose from how to do study. Means time based, knowledge area-wise, Process groups wise etc.
3. Every question and/answers are precisely narrated.
4. The difficulty level of English or grammar or sentence structure is somewhat similar to the real exam.
5. Cool thing is, Reference given of PMBOK guide.
Cons (Not actually)
1. The orientation of PrepCast is somewhat not inline with the real exam. like,
a. In the real exam, you will have an in-built calculator (soft calculator).
b. The real exam has no option to highlight and/or straight-out the wrong answers whereas PrepCast has.
c. Real Exam show time in minutes in descending order (240, 239, 238) whereas PrepCast shows in HH: MM format. Whereas in PrepCast it's easy. It difficult in the real exam to correlate the time with questions remaining. So just want to have consistency with the real exam.
2. I found PrepCast somewhat easier than the Real Exam.
3. Keep in mind, there is no feature in the real exam to zoom in/out the page whereas you can do the same in PrepCast Simulator (using Cntl /-Mouse cursor).
Overall, I am happy with PrepCast for my PMP preparations. This has helped me to prepare & made ready for the real exam. I recommend buying PrepCast & complete at least 6-7 PMP Exam from the simulator.
Not to forget: Tips received in the emails (new sellers) were helpful. It's good to have them for a quick study.
Thank You PrepCast.
