PMP Practice Exam Results

Taking practice exams was probably the single most important part of my study process. I took countless practice exams and answered over 3,000 questions (not including Chapter Tests from Head First PMP and Rita Mulcahy’s PMP Prep). Not only did it help me learn more about project management, it really helped me with my timing. Especially the full practice exams (200 questions).

Below are my results. The reason I’m posting them is because I think it can help some people compare their progress with someone else who’s already gone through this journey. During my prep, I would have loved to have known what others were scoring just for my own peace of mind. I hope it helps someone out there. If so, please feel free to leave a comment.
