Are the questions in the PM Challenge similar to that of the PMP Exams?

I am currently preparing for the PMP Exams and will like to have real time scenarios of how the exams will look like.
I have been proposed a couple of simulators, but I prefer to stick to the PM Challenge.
So I am just wondering if the questions here are similar to that in the PMP Exams?
Thanks

No, they are not similar. The questions on the exam are more difficult and scenario based.

Use the PM Challenge questions for reviewing the concepts. The exam's questions are a little bit different.

The PM Challenge questions are primarily there for earning badges.

I've found incorrect answers for more than one of the questions so I wouldn't trust them in the least for PMP studying purposes.

Dear Mbuih
Interesting your question
Thanks for sharing

Interestingly, I consider that PM Challeng's questions bear a lot of resemblance to those of the PMP certification exam

One thing I can assure you.
If you get the PMI Challenge badges, you won't lose a thing :-)

Dear Mbuih,

They are similar as they cover the content that would be found on the PMP exam however how they are phrase, the various options to answer the questions and the degree of difficulty would be different on a PMP exam. However they are a good way to earn badges and increase your knowledge of project management concepts.

I agree with Andrew and Kiron. Personally, I advise you to merely use those as flash cards for review, nothing more.

I recommend two resources:

PM PrepCast and RMC Solutions Fast Track ... Both are paid but they are totally worth the investment.
