Preparing for the PMP® Exam is like a marathon
Fact: PMI® doesn't tell us how many questions must be answered correctly in order to pass…
  So… how can you know when you are ready for the PMP® Exam?
 Apply 85% rule…  Correctly answer at least 85% of sample questions in first attempt!
  What to expect from Exam questions?
  PMP® Exam is not a simple memory-recall, multiple-choice test
Type of questions
Situational questions Test your ability to identify the relevant content.
Formula-based questions Test your knowledge of formula and how to perform the calculation.
Knowledge-based questions Test your knowledge about facts
Interpretational questions    Test your ability to deduce a situation or condition
Specific technique questions Identify techniques from diagram or techniques inherent to situations
PMP® Exam Simulators are a good way to gauge your readiness!
‘Must have’ features of PMP® Exam Simulators
Look for an Online PMP® Exam Simulator that fits your budget
Confirm that your simulator is based on the PMBOK® Guide.  Current edition!
  Make sure that the questions were written by multiple, certified PMPs!
Review your answers after  taking the exam
Look for products offered by PMI® Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s)
