A Holistic PMP Exam Simulator

General systems theory as applied to project management is back in vogue, returning as trendy fashions do to become classics that are continually in style. The 1970s and 80s saw management thinking turn more toward viewing events and actions to be considered in their proper context and in their myriad connections, including their relationships with the natural environment. To save ourselves as well as nature, we must renounce the idea that nature must be conquered and enslaved and accept that enterprises, businesses and human organizations of any sort belong to the same ecosystem. Systemic thinking is the first step toward understanding system dynamics and appreciating that every action is the culmination of meshing or mashing causes and effects. My Performance Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Simulator for MS Windows computers, is diagnostic in the systemic thinker sense par excellence - according to hundreds of happy users who are now PMPs.

PMP Exam Simulator Version 6 Features

Now with over 1200 questions, in a diagnostic, test center simulator format, my PMP Exam Sim for Windows computers is a sophisticated way to prepare for your exam.



This thumbnail screen shot shows the main test panel, with, from the right, the view into the questions database, the question and answer panel, and the diagnostic panel with breakdown by knowledge area to the left, with KA chooser and strength weakness assessment.



In this thumbnail above, the Exam Simulator's "Coach" button has been pressed to show the answer to the question of interest and often and explanation to go with it. The Coach feature is available in Practice, or manual mode, not Auto or Test Center mode.



Here we see the diagnostic panel on the left begin to reflect strength/weakness assessment in a couple of Knowledge Areas as the test session progresses. Knowledge Areas can be selected so that test sessions can be customized to specifically target your study plan. When you are studying Scope Project Management, you may want to deselect all KAs except for Scope to test yourself and gauge your progress in that area. More than one up to all KAs, both PMBoK and ancillary test material KAs can be selected.

A PMP with Lymphoma

OK, this is startling, to think that PMP Training icon Rita M. died recently from cancer. Coincidentally, I developed - content and programming for what I and many of my successful student customers think is the best PMP Exam Sim for learning and getting familiar with the test center environ where you will finally sit for the exam.

Check out my product details then buy it. You will not only do yourself a service, but will help a PMP (me) with Lymphoma, who cannot seem to get corporate work (hmmmmm), continue to develop training materials for the profession. Right now even with hundreds of customers, the foreclosure of my little house in the North Georgia Mountains is looming.

You will not regret the purchase. Good luck in your PMP Candidate endeavors.

My PMP Exam Sim now includes values and ethics questions.

9% of the PMP exam is based upon the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (http://www.pmi.org/PDF/ap_pmicodeofethics.pdf). I now include those kind of questions in my PMP exam sim software for Windows.

A frugal way to study for the exam, cram if you will, is to buy the PMBoK and get my PMP Exam Simulator for Windows.

And then make sure you buy my PMP Exam Simulator.

Training - Literally

Yesterday, I was training - from Philadelphia to North Florida. The day before yesterday, I sat myself on the couch in front of my laptop and compared the costs of traveling from my apartment outside Philadelphia to my wife's home in Jacksonville, that is, jet vs. train vs. bus. Although the bus is cheapest at around $130, it's not all that much different from Amtrack service via the Silver Meteor at $157. On short notice they both beat out flying any airline by a wide margin. I bought a one-way train ticket and am here in Jacksonville today writing this blog entry after a overnight train trip that was both adventure and relatively relaxing.

To begin the trip, I packed my laptop, a change of clothes, toothbrush and prescriptions into my rucksack and walked the mile to the River Line light rail that connected me to the PATCO train to Philadelphia, and from there to the subway to 30th Street Amtrack station where I waited about two hours inside that cavernous facility for my train departure at around 5PM.

The train to Florida was on time. The 30th Street station is a hub for all the Northeast corridor trains, including the Acela's bullet service between Washington, DC and Boston. From my frequent glances at the arrivals board, I gathered that unlike most projects, most trains ran on schedule. Although the station's crowd density was nowhere near what I've experienced at Grand Central in NYC, the riders queuing for the commutes stretched to respective 50 yard lines.

Many of the riders queuing wore suits that had to be in the $1000 range. The management jobs are obviously out there. Are you a Project Manager wanting to prove your competence and wear that Brooks Brother's suit with confidence? Get certified. A frugal way is to buy the PMBoK and get my PMP Exam Simulator for Windows. A guaranteed pass on the first try if you answer all the questions in the Sim.

And then make sure you buy my PMP Exam Simulator.

Save $1000 and pass the PMP Exam!

All you need to pass:

experience as a Project Manager

a few reads of the PMBoK

practice taking the test in a test center environment - my PMP Exam Sim will give you that edge.
