The Benefits of PMP Exam Prep with an Exam Simulator

Only a fraction of candidates who sit for the Project Management Professionals (PMP) exam pass on their first sitting. Understandably the likelihood of passing on subsequent attempts increases with each attempt to pass, because after all practice does make perfect as the old saw goes.

Isn't it more cost effective to sit for your PMP exam once and pass the first time? Failure to pass that first time may cause you professional harm, and certainly cost to re-take the exam and time to continue your study.

Use of an exam simulator, particularly mine for practice of exam center conditions with exam caliber questions has several benefits:

• Easy to use
  
• Lowers your risk of failing
  
• Increases your chance of passing on the first sitting
  
• Instead of exam practice with the real exam you practice before you get there
  
• A software product developed by a PMP for PMP candidates
  
• A truly dynamic, interactive learning tool, sans droning lectures or static material
  
• My PMP Exam Simulator diagnoses your strength and weakness by PMBoK knowledge area
  
• Helps you budget your last minute preparation
  

It works. I used an early version of about 100 questions to help me pass the exam on my first sitting. Now with ten times that number, updated to conform to the new PMBoK 4th edition, I offer it to help you pass on the first try.

PMP Exam Simulator works on Apple

By permission, I am quoting a user of my PMP Exam Sim for Windows who got it to easily work on a MAC: I have VMware Fusion running Windows-Vista home for my PC needs. Works Great (especially when I am forced from Merlin to Project). BUT I often forget that I can not extract all files in the Mac environment then import them into the Windows environment? Once I dropped the ZIPed file into the folder I created in Windows then uncompressed from there, she started up.

Thanks for creating this... It will be a big help for me.

Project Management Diplomacy

So often we we meet people who are Project Managers by political influence.

Who completes your federal tax return? HR Block or a CPA. I prefer a CPA. There is no way that I have yet found to treat PMs who have no desire to be PMPs to the benefits of our profession. They are there and that's it. They may be sincere and try their best to "manage", but often they do not carry their people with them by anything but brute force, not to mention completely ignore even the basics of integration, scope, time, risk, and other areas of formal management that are second nature to a PMP.

It may sound a bit too dramatic to say that a shadow hangs over the project management profession. What I mean to say is that yes there are some non-PMP project managers who are good ones. Because of the stringent requirements for experience and testing, and a strict code of ethics it is much more likely that a PMP is a good PM. I have met far too many project managers who had little experience, formal education in management, and people acumen to be worthy of their project manager title.

If you have a desire to be a PMP and thereby prove that you have satisfied the basic requirements of a true profession, then you may want to consider buying my High Performance PMP Exam Simulator to help you practice questions diagnostically. Practicing exam questions under exam-like conditions is one of the best ways to ensure you budget your study time wisely and then pass your PMP exam.
