CAPM simulator way different from real exam questions
I was preparing for my CAPM exam. Before I have studied Google Project Management courses for half a year and read through the PMBOK. I have searched a lot of "free CAPM mock exam" online and also tried some of them. Of course they are only free for a certain percentage of exam questions (~25% from my experience). That's why I decided to purchase the CAPM simulator to strengthen my knowledge before exam. However the questions in the simulator are QUITE DIFFERENT to the questions that occur in the real exam after I took the exam. But before that I already found them really hard to understand and some answers given might also be wrong. I'm not sure if the questions are wayyyyy outdated or they give the wrong sets of mock exams. I tried my best to make it through 7 mock exams and didn't wanna waste more time on the last 2. Suggestions to CAPM students: go find the limited access free mock exam online with simple questions (yes simple, not complex as I got here!). Those are the questions that occur in real exam and how the real exam questions look like. Though limited access, still learned a lot! As for the mock exams here I wouldn't say they are totally of no help since I also strengthend my memory to some knowledge area through answering them. But they are really NOT what the real exam look like! It's not an efficient way to prepare the exam by using it. I passed the exam in the end but fairly speaking I gave myself 70% of the credit (Google course plus reading), 27% to the free exam online and 3% to the simulator here...
