Product Overview
The PM PrepCast Elite is a complete PMP exam preparation system that combines structured training with realistic exam simulation. It is designed to help you build your knowledge, apply it in practice, and prepare for the types of questions you will encounter on the PMP exam.
This bundle includes both The PM PrepCast™ training course and The PrepCast™ PMP Exam Simulator, giving you everything you need to move from learning concepts to answering exam questions with confidence.
How the System Works
You begin by working through the video-based lessons in The PM PrepCast to understand the key concepts, principles, and approaches tested on the exam.
You then apply what you have learned in the PMP Exam Simulator by practicing with realistic, scenario-based questions under exam-like conditions.
Based on your results, you can identify areas where you need improvement and return to the course lessons to strengthen your understanding before continuing your practice.
This cycle of learning, practicing, and improving helps you build both knowledge and exam readiness over time.
Training Course Content and Delivery
The training course provides a structured series of high-quality, self-paced video lessons that deliver the 35 contact hours required for the PMP exam.
The lessons cover predictive, adaptive, and hybrid approaches in line with the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO), and include real-world examples to help you understand how project management methods are applied in exam scenarios.
All content is delivered through the Learning Management System (LMS), allowing you to study at your own pace, track your progress, and revisit lessons as needed.
Exam Simulator Experience
The PMP Exam Simulator allows you to practice with a large bank of realistic exam questions that mirror the style and difficulty of the actual PMP exam.
You can take full-length practice exams or shorter quizzes to test your understanding, identify knowledge gaps, and improve your performance over time.
The simulator is designed to help you become comfortable with the exam format and develop the ability to interpret and answer scenario-based questions correctly.

FAQ - General Questions about The PrepCast Simulator
The PrepCast PM Exam Simulator does not provide any project management training lessons, which means it does not qualify for Contact Hours or PDUs.
Contact Hours can only be earned for training received. And because The PM PrepCast Exam Simulator is "only" a tool to test your ability to take the PMP, PMI-ACP, or CAPM Exam and doesn't provide any training lessons, you cannot earn Contact Hours or PDUs from it.

Our simulator helps you focus your study time on the topics you really need to learn because the detailed analytics show you exactly where you went wrong. Dive into those domains and save time studying topics you already know!
The PrepCast Exam Simulator is an online tool and does not require you to download or install anything, which means that an active internet connection is required at all times.
It is not possible to take exams or quizzes while offline.
The minimum speed for your internet connection is 1 Mbps; however, a high-speed connection (cable, broadband, etc.) is recommended.
The PrepCast Exam Simulator can be used on any modern tablet or smartphone.
However, when taking a full exam, for the best experience, we recommend that you use either a laptop or desktop computer. After all, your real PMI exam will require you to use a regular desktop computer while sitting at a desk. Therefore, practicing in the most realistic fashion possible would only benefit you.
