Congratulations for this great achievement.
Would you please tell us about the exam difficulty level comparing to the other MOCK tests (for example: PMP4Sure , PMStudy & Scordo)?

Exam was more or less close to the free test provided by PMP4sure. This test was useful in identifying the weak areas by process group wise. There were many maths questions, solving 101 sample PMP questions from scribd would help to face different scenarios related to problems in the exams. Free tests from PMStudy, Scordo practice tests were relatively easier than the real exams.
