PMP® Exam Mentor

Love the opportunity to use this app but it does not mention which version of PMBOK it goes by. With versions change and exam change it is important to know. Important flaw is actually in Quizzes section: often the answers do not line up with questions. Recent example was from schedule knowledge, where the question was to calculate float for an activity A. After I did it showed me that I selected incorrect answer. The correct answer was “the float for activity E is ...”. But you asked for Activity A, not E! Additionally, in the cost section it seems all questions involve the same 3 numbers. What is frustrating is that in some questions these numbers are in wrong places so the question sounds something like: “project has a budget of $4,000. To date project spent $160,000...”. I wanted to scream reading this-it is already difficult topic, so do not make it more complicated please.

For a pocket app and for free times that is okay but I think when one group decided to make a such application must consider very options like the person going to test, the manager want to review or some one who just want to know what is PMBOK and is it really important for project managers or reading topic in this app will add value to his/her informations. Today for first time I open this application seriously and first topic that I search for was Stakeholders Cube. Guess what? I couldn’t find it. Please improve application or if you don’t want to complete it just simply erase it. 😍

Overall, a good prep tool for the exam. The simulator and the way it’s broken into categories based on the ten knowledge areas and five progress groups is fantastic. The explanations as to why one thing is the right answer is a nice start. It would be better if the wrong answers were explained. The questions posed do hit the spirit of the PMBOK very well. The application could use some syntax fixes, as parts of the English is incorrect. Not talking about the PMI method of being wordy either. The grammar is poorly worded. An editor is definitely in order. Lastly, if you’re going to insist on ads, provide a means to at least pay to turn them off. Flashing ads in the middle of a tough question are torture!
