Whizlabs PMP Exam Simulator Review

The New Video Project Management PrepCast

The new PM PrepCast is the first and only 35 hour long PMP® Video Workshop. It comes with 100% Money-back guarantee. In my opinion, this is the best way to earn 35 Contact Hours that you need to qualify for the PMP Exam. I have tried this personally and highly recommend it. Read my complete review here.

People usually spend upto $2000 and 5 days of their time to attend classroom training that provides them with the 35 Professional Development Units (PDUs) or Contact Hours (CH), which are a pre-requisite for the PMP exam.

I became a Project Management Professional (PMP) in Nov 2007. My preparation for the exam can be described in two words - "self study". I wanted to achieve the certification with minimum cost and with least amount of time.

I believe many PMP aspirants aren't aware of the alternative means of earning these 35 PDUs. One such mean is the Whizlabs PMP Exam Simulator software.

Not only does it provide the 35 PDUs, it also gives you 1000+ exam questions to practice.

I hope the information on this page helps many PMP aspirants achieve their objective.

I used the Whizlabs PMP Exam Simulator to earn my 35 PDUs for the PMP exam and here's my feedback:

1. Their customer service is very good.
2. It is a good mechanism for earning PDUs quickly and economically.
3. Quality of questions is mediocre (overall). It does not compare too well with other sources like Rita's Fastrack, Oliver Lehmann, pmstudy (free 200 question exam). I scored in the 78-89% range on the 5 Whizlabs mock exams even when I was not very well prepared and was completing the tests in 2 to 2.5 hrs.
4. Tons of grammatical error. Many of the questions are poorly worded.
5. Many of the questions are exactly the same as in Rita's Fastrack CD.
6. Many questions are repeated multiple times in the same exam (duplicates).
7. There are bugs in the simulator software. For example, the "Bookmarks" feature does not work properly. This is how it was supposed to work: User can bookmark any question (from the 5 exams) while he/she is taking the exam and can review all the bookmarked questions from all the 5 exams anytime after the exams. User can also run a test of only the "bookmarked" questions. The feature was really good but only if it had worked properly. There are bugs in the tool due to which the bookmarked questions get replaced with other questions arbitrarily.
8. Some erroneous questions, for example, questions with only 2 choices or incomplete questions.

Having said all this, it is still not too bad overall and I think it did help me pass the exam. After all, it is offering 1000 odd questions and even if you find 100 good questions, it is still worth the price. At least, it helps you uncover some of the weak areas.

Note: You can download a trial version of this software from the Whizlabs website and try it before purchasing.

I hope this information helps. Please provide your feedback. Thanks for reading.
