I also have similar question :

I am planning to use

1. Head first questions (200)

2. Rita M questions from chapters (400+)

3. PMP for Sure (1000+)

are these sufficient ?

Dear Recent PMPs, please suggest something good.

Thanks !!

Go with two sources. Say Rita + 1 more source like PM Zilla PM Study or something reputed.

Regards

As an instructor, this is what I have heard from my students and also as per my experience wherever applicable:

Fast Track – Excellent quality material. Expert and SUPER Management Professionals would ALWAYS recommend this. BUT, it stand tough when you compare with real PMP exam questions. You will not get so tough PMP questions.

PMZilla Tough Test – Excellent mind opener. Make sure you try this at least 2 weeks before PMP exam as it will open lots of missing areas once you try.

PMPerfect – Stands close to PMP exam, their WEB interface is very good. You can use it like practice exam questions. They give you options view questions and answer process area wise and chapter wise that you can revise. Get it a month or two before if you want. I guess, they give you access for 3 months. (Just check it)

PMStudy and PMPForSure are close, they have mix type questions and resemble close to the actual PMP exam. Their interface is also close to PMP exam. You can use these for Mock Drill Test just before the exam. DO NOT use these for learning and studying.

Certgear and Ajithn can be used for simple IITO practices. You can get these a month before PMP exam to memorize IITO if you would like.

SimpliLearn and PMTests – Can be used for revision, some questions are too good. You can get these a month before PMP exam to memorize IITO if you would like.

I guess, except Fast Track, all have Free Test to try, try those and judge what best suits you. I have already posted earlier, don’t give credit to these if you pass and neither blame these if you fail these are just MIRRORS and nothing else. You pass PMP because of various factors and the most important one being PMBOK IITO concepts and other being, common sense, patience & non nervous, and knowledge of basic project management.

 Rita fastrack is sufficient and excellent. I have not tried pmstudy yet, while pmpforsure one member here in pmzilla discovered that pmpforsure questions are just copied from rita even the explanation. I dont agree with saket that fastrack questions are too tough, in fact there is no such tough question if you guys knows all about what is covered in the exam. What seems to be hard as one may feel is related to reading comprehension.

A good quality question must be properly worded, correct tense and grammar, clear in context, and the choices are correct. If u search some threads here many have already noted there are many questions that are wrong, so how can u trust these websites? 

Examine threads here first that are obviously promoting products. These promoters mock to be like those who pass the exam and have used the mock test of blah blah blah, as if u will believe but in reality these are only strategies. 

Saket is also wrong to say that fastrack has no free qs, in fact you can download a demo for free and take the practice tests for free, but u cannot peep on explanation and u cant take other exam types bcoz they are locked till u activate ur product which is very very expensive. That's the only worse i can speak against fastrack but the quality is truly exemplary.

So use ur wisdom dude.

Hello projmanpro – Thanks for your thoughts and commenting on my writing. I am a big fan of you now, as I know you are a good PMP expert and I have to learn lots of things from you too. J

When you say these…

Rita fastrack is sufficient and excellent. – Agree and accepted, its Excellent. But from my experience and belief it’s NOT sufficient for everyone. People should look for other options too including PMBOK. This is my personnel thought.

PmStudy – Its very good, you should try the free one. Lot of people have said its good, I have tried it too.

Pmpforsure – I am hearing about it since Jan-12, some of my students have said its good, they have Indian English tone in the questions. My students says that they have more IITO questions. In one of the email I received about 6 years back, someone said that “Neil Armstrong” was NOT the first person to go on Moon, rather it was “Pande Ji” from India. I did not put this discovered information in any public forum till date. I believe that, we should not comment publicly until we know and believe the same. Let people decide what is right or wrong for them. Some common or direct IITO questions and its explanation can be same across….nothing that new.

Error In some PMP websites – It does happen sometime because of human typo error due to updates, but such error percentage is not that big that it needs to get highlighted. Over 95% of questions are always correct, you go to any website that are free or of low cost. I don’t care for these 5% as I know to pass PMP you just need 65% and not 100%. Debating on these 5% is waste of time and it as NO role in your PMP passing. I see a positive side in attempting a wrong question, as it opens a door and some scope to challenge things which is always helpful in making you strong. About 20% of PMP questions can be debated and hence I do not see the value in debate, you should trust the question owner and if you have questions go to them directly instead of creating public debate that would lead to more confusion. This is one of the reason PMI never revels PMP question and its answer. They too do not want such public debate. PMP aspirants----Please note this.

Correct tense and grammar – I agree with you the better and clear the english is, its always good. But at the same time you have to accept that over 80% of world population does not speak english as a primary language including me. These 80% population may not write and speak that fluent english the way you expect. It does not mean these 80% population becomes un-trustable as you say. We have to accept and respect everyone and their language. Minor grammar error has NOTHING to do with PMP questions as long as you understand the question and its choice. Language should be just seen as communication medium and not something from trust. This is just my thought, you might have disagreement for the same.

Promoting products – true, it’s a public forum you cannot stop such people. Instead of wasting my time in criticizing these, I see an advantage here i.e. you come to know a new product and few that you can try for FREE too. Its an Opportunity! Hats off to PMZilla Admin, for creating such an open forum, where people are free to take name of other websites and REP’s openly.

Fake LL – I do not agree, we cannot prove whether it’s a fake LL or not. There are over 4500 PMP certified people that pass PMP every month. Last year I attended a workshop organized by PMI in Singapore. The stakeholder from PMI said – “PMP is a popular exam and trusted across, because so far no one has a formula that can be used to pass PMP, even PMI does not have. A fool can pass and an expert can fail too”. I believe in variances that I read in various LL after attending this workshop. You as an individual might not agree to my LL too, but it does not mean it’s fake. I interact with PMP aspirants daily, and hence I trust such variations.

About fast track – Thanks for correcting me and letting me know the real issue.

To end up – Please don’t take this as a personnel attack, I am posting this just for the sake of this forum and PMP aspirants. My motive is just to let PMP aspirants know that there is no fix rule to pass PMP, you should not be a english language/grammar expert, there are lots of free and low cost material too that can be tried. They should not just look for things that have won award for purity. And finally….A fool can pass and an expert can fail too in the PMP exam.
