Hi,
I have passed PMP exam on first attempt at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. I have used PM PrepCast and PMBOK 5th edition book only for reference. The course is really effective tool to grasp the ITTOs concept and remember it. I was too worried about which course is better, I did a search in internet and finally found PM PrepCast is one of the best. First I started using free version and really liked, then I purchased complete packet with simulator . I was worried because I haven't use any other book like headfirst lab or Ritas book. But really got confidence once I completed all simulator test and could managed time also. Even in real exam I felt that I am not going to pass at all. But I have passed with 3P and 2MP.I was tired due to journey, because it was 200 km from my current city and felt something blank when I started exam. But after some minutes I have adjusted with environment . It's very important to keep our mind fresh before exam, I advise to relax final 2 days before exam and start working on simulator last two weeks after you study all the materials and also try to listen at least twice all videos and read three times pmbok book. I have purchased PM PrepCast on 9th September and took the exam on 20th October. Before I purchased course, I finished once, a rough read on pmbok 5th edition book(all 10 knowledge areas) Also I used do practice more questions, free questions from site and 1000 questions by Christopher Scorder.
My results in PrepCast simulator was an avg of 88% and obtained 99% on ITTOs. Practice as many as questions and you will be able to face very tough questions and please don't use more reference book if you have short time for preparation. It will make confusion.
And I recommend you to buy formula guide also. You will be able to attend 100% formula based questions as per my experience.
Another thing is you will be able find many place to clear your doubts in the discussion forum. You will find lot of materials in prepcast course which is not explained in pmbok book.
In short, pm-prepcast and simulator is really an excellent course and you can trust and 100% pass guaranteed course and cost effective. You may not be able to find such cost effective material in the site.
Once again thanks a lot to Cornelius Fitchner and his team for such an excellent course.
Until next time
John George, PMP
