Dear All,

I passed the PMP exam on my first try. I have read many folks saying the Questions in Exam were difficult compared to Prepcast. That statement is by no means an exaggeration. That's very true.

In my view, Prepcast is a must if your basics are weak (or if you want to ensure that you know the basics). Many Prepcast Questions are straight-forward: ITTO Question. I did not get one direct ITTO question. Everything is situational. Even the situational questions are very complexly framed.

My suggestion is: Prepcast can still use the existing standard set of questions or upgrade to similar questions and categorize that as Basic-Level.
But Prepcast needs to provide a simulator with Questions with the same level of difficulty as of the Exam.

I would not say that I am disappointed with Prepcast but I would definitely say that, with all the positive reviews, I expected the Prepcast to be somewhat closer to the Exam.
