PMP Pocket Prep 4+

Great prep tool although exam questions are very different

I never write reviews, but it was such an achievement to pass the test from the first time, that I thought I just had to do it. FYI: I passed with a mark ‘above target’ as well!!!
This is a great app and I used it EVERY day. Be it a simple Question of the Day or a mock exam. Beware that your questions on the exam are very different. Mine were all (except few formula questions, and I literally mean ‘a few’) situation-based where the questions in this app are mostly from the PMBOK. However, once you get good with the app questions, the exam questions become easy, too. This app will provide you with knowledge you can use during the exam. I enjoy the clean interface as well. So simple and easy to use. My advice: become good with the exam taking. You have to become a pro pf reading the question right and screening for the right answer. You literally have a little over a minute for each question. This app will help you with the prep for sure!

Good but some bugs

I like this app and what it offers. But I’m running into some bugs that I’ve contacted tech support about. Some specifically are, trying to move the bar to change the number of questions to answer. And I have an issue where the counter for the questions remaining is either inaccurate or I’m being shorted questions. The app repeats questions, which is good as it helps you learn, but that shouldn’t count as another question out of the 800 you purchase if you did the premium package. As a suggestion for future releases, it would be good if they gave a better explanation of why your answer was wrong as well as why the correct answer is correct. Some of the questions do, but most do not. Overall, it’s a good app and I hoping it will help me pass the exam next month.

Great App

I passed my PMP today and this app was one of the resources that I used. It was really useful in identifying gaps in my knowledge but I am not convinced that it should be your only resource to pass the exam. The app has a nice interface and functions well; definitely superior to the other apps out there. The reasons I did not give this 5 stars are as follows: 1. There is a huge focus on ITTOs, which I did not encounter on the exam; I recommend throughly understanding each process and the ITTOs will fall into place in your mind intuitively. 2. The more exams I took in the app, the slower it became. Although, once I answered all the questions, I reset the app and this seemed to fix the performance issues; although the second time around I was taking 100 question sets and not short 10 question tests. Maybe the smaller number of exams fixed the problem. Overall I recommend the app because it does have you go further in-depth into areas you may not have studied before. Good luck.
