PMP Exam Simulator Review – For PMP Exam 2022 and beyond

Summary: The PMP Exam Simulator by OSP International LLC (which is also the publisher of the renowned PM PrepCast™) has recently been updated from version 2.0 to 2022, with all questions rewritten/revised to align with the new version of the PMP exam in 2022. The PMP 2022 Exam Simulator has many more exam questions and question types than the previous version (31% more, to be exact) and many improvements that PMP applicants craved. If you want to take the PMP exam in 2022 and beyond, don’t miss this new PMP exam simulator.

• 2280+ questions in total
• over 100+ more Agile/Hybrid questions (which are the new question types to appear in the real PMP exam)
• includes questions based on the new PMBOK® Guide 7th edition
• different types of questions are included: multiple choices, drag & drop, multiple responses, fill in the blank
• 4 Full Mock PMP Exams in total + 1 ITTO Exam
• Quizzes and Mock Exams have a separate pool of question databases so as to simulate the real exam situation in the mock exams as close as possible
• All questions are followed by detailed explanations

For peace of mind, the mock exam offers no-question 15 days FULL refund. The only condition is that you have started a maximum of 1 Full Mock Exams (fair enough for Aspirants to get a hands-on try of the question quality). However, most Aspirants never took advantage of the refund as the exam simulator can really help us pass the exam.

What You’ll Get by Purchasing PMP Exam Simulator 2021

1. [Improved] Access to 2280+ mock exam/quiz questions for 90 days — questions covering all the knowledge areas of the latest PMBOK® Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and the Agile Practice Guide, including formulas, process groups and knowledge areas) as well as the 2021 PMP Exam Content Outline which are developed by a team of current PMP. All the questions and question formats have already been updated to the latest exam syllabus.
   • An equivalent of 5 full-length 4-hour Mock Exams — this would provide the most reliable indicator of whether you are well prepared for the exam as you answer the questions based on your knowledge (NOT your memorization of answers seen before).
   • An ITTO Exam
   • [NEW] 1100 separate quiz questions which are separated from the full-length PMP mock exams so that Aspirants will not encounter the same questions in the mock exams.
   • The 90-day access period begins only when one takes the first exam in the simulator (NOT on the date of purchase). The access period can be extended for 30/60 days at a discounted price.
2. Subscription to a 5-part email course on “Advanced PMI Exam Strategies” — detailing the most effective strategies on how to get the different questions types of exam correct and other tips and techniques from successful exam takers.
3. Access to Online Discussion Forums — an online forum for Aspirants to ask questions about the exam. The forums are moderated by qualified PMPs (there are 12 of them) who would answer any queries about the exam.
4. Receive Weekly Exam Tips Newsletter — including exam tips, techniques, FAQs, study resources, sample exam questions, easily confused questions, etc. — great for Aspirants.
5. [NEW] Get a Sample Exam Score Worksheet — to keep track of how many questions you answer correctly in your practice exams so that you can understand your progress during your exam prep.
6. [NEW] Get a Contact Hours Worksheet — as 35 Contact Hours are required for the Project Management Professional exam, this worksheet provides the template for you to track your progress with confidence.

Pros

1. [New] Fully updated to align with the latest PMP Exam (based on PMBOK® Guide 6th edition (with new questions from PMBOK® Guide 7th edition) and the latest PMP Exam Content Outline 2021) — most of the questions have been revised (e.g. terminology, wordings, focuses, etc.) or added to help new Aspirants to be well prepared for the new PMP Exam and new question formats have been added.
2. [New] 400+ more questions have been added to the practice question database.
3. [New] Questions are separated into mock exam questions as well as quiz questions. Aspirants can have enough practice through the quizzes and yet they will not see the same questions in the mock exams. So, the results of the mock exams will be a much better guide on how they will perform in the real PMP Exam.
4. [New] The publisher of PMP Exam Simulator is a PMI Authorized Training Partner. The quality of the mock exam questions can thus be guaranteed as the publisher has guaranteed to follow the strictest standards of PMI. Plus, the owner of the company, Cornelius Fichtner, is a seasoned project manager and instructor with profound experience in PMP training  (he is the producer of the renowned online course PM PrepCast™ (review here) which helped me to pass the PMP exam earlier).
5. Each question is explained with detailed explanations and references to the PMBOK® Guide so that Aspirants will be able to understand the reasons behind each correct (and incorrect) answer.
6. “Live Feedback” feature from inside the simulator to ask any questions about the exam questions with a certified exam trainer. Through the “Live Feedback” feature, Aspirants would get the attention from a qualified exam trainer and discuss the topic till the queries are solved.
7. The simulator has been created with the latest website technology so that you can use your desktop computer, iPad, mobile phones, iPhones, etc. anytime anywhere to do exam practice.
8. The online question bank for exam questions is constantly monitored by a group of PMPs with feedback from exam-takers so that the questions can be updated immediately to reflect the latest PMP Exam syllabus immediately.
9. In the unfortunate case of failing the exam, the publisher of the PMP Exam Simulator 2021 would extend the access period for another 90 days for FREE to help Aspriants to succeed.

 Cons

1. Perhaps 2100 questions are too much for any Aspirants to answer them all. But it is really worth the efforts as many Aspirants have made use of mock exams to understand their exam readiness. If one can get around 75-80% in their mock exams, they have a very high probability of passing the PMP Exam in the first try.
2. Even though a lot of efforts have to be put into working on the PMP Exam Simulator, no Contact Hours will be provided by using the simulator. Aspirants will need to take another PMP Exam prep course to earn the Contact Hours.

My Recommendation

If you are looking for a PMP Exam Question Bank with high-quality questions and features, I will highly recommend the PMP Exam Simulator 2022 by OSP International LLC. I have tried their exam questions personally which are very close in difficulty to (maybe a bit tougher than) the real exam. This simulator will be a reliable indicator of whether you will be able to pass the real exam!
