Project Victor Exam Simulator
The official questions that PMI uses in the “real” exam question pool are developed by a veritable “army” of certified volunteers from around the world. These volunteers develop questions that meet the official PMI standards and each adds their personal “twist”. So you get a lot of variation.
Project Victor gives you immediate access to more than realistic exam sample questions. Question style and difficulty matches closely what you can expect to see on your actual exam. The questions have been developed by a team of seven certified project managers and business analysis practitioners and they are updated to the latest PMI-PBA Examination Content Outline from the Project Management Institute (PMI) as well as the most current A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).
