Here, I conclude the list of PMP exam sample questions and mock tests.

Please note that passing the any of above mock tests does not guarantee that you will pass the real PMP exam. I have seen many people score around 80% on Oliver Lehman’s tests, but failed or performed poorly in the real test.

Every PMP test is unique and the set of questions is different for everyone. If the questions are easy the passing score may be high and if the questions are tough the passing score may be lower.

For the PMP exam you should study the complete syllabus. You should not assume that scoring more in one section can help you in another section. If you do so, it may reduce your chances of passing the exam.

Read the complete content thoroughly, practice enough questions and then attempt the exam.

Good luck on your PMP test!

Conclusion

For the PMP exam, practicing around 1,000 to 1,500 questions will be enough for you. You should not always look for free questions on the internet and solve them all. Stick with some good quality free resources, and invest some money in paid question banks and mock tests.

In this blog post I have given you many resources, and I believe if you use a few from the given lists, you will be able to pass the PMP exam successfully.
