Hi all,
Currently, I am preparing for the PMP certification exam.
I've seen a lot of good thoughts around PMI AI - Infinity. However, I haven't heard how it helped as a simulator for the exam questions. Has anyone? Kindly share your experience.
Thank you!

Anton, I wouldn’t use PMI Infinity as a simulator and I don’t see how you can do that because there is no questions bank built into PMI Infinity so you will have to ask the question, and they will give you the answer.

For simulation exams, I suggest you either use PMI Study Hall or PM PrepCast Simulator. Good Luck with your PMP Journey!

Hello Rami, do you think the new version of the PM prepcast simulator is still beneficial for the current exam? I am unable to order the current exam version online anymore and don't want to order the newer version if its going to provide information not applicable. I've emailed the support but I haven't received an answer yet and my exam is scheduled for wednesday.

HUGE THANKS to Rami Kaibni on the PM prepcast suggestion. I successfully passed the PMI PMP exam today after failing last week. I was below target in all 3 categories on attempt 1, and Above target in all 3 categories on attempt #2. I revised my approach, worked extremely hard to identify my issues and checked my overconfidence to get it done. I can say that the cost of prepcast exam simulator was worth it for the deluxe version and I wish I had done that prior to writing the exam on attempt #1 . I have studied, done exams simulators, read and reviewed. It paid off. Lessons learned for those when ready to sit: Use your breaks. Drink water. Have snacks. Breathe. Manage your time to ensure time to review.

I would agree that PMI Study Hall is a good study tool for the exam.

Hi Anton,

Great question—and best of luck on your PMP journey!

As someone who actively uses for PMI Infinity, I’d say it’s a solid AI companion for concept clarity,

Especially when you need quick explanations on tricky topics like EV Value or Risk Response Strategies.

However, PMI Infinit is not a full exam simulator. You can use ChatGPT Plus (via the PMI Infinity PMP Exam Simulator) for PMP prep: Note that some answers can stray from PMI’s official thinking, so don’t rely on it as your sole source


So for timed practice and exam-style questions, you’ll still need dedicated simulators like PrepCast, Rita, or PMP Exam Prep from PMI’s Authorized Training Partners .

Use Infinity to sharpen your understanding.

Can I use PMI infinity to reliably answer PMP mock exam questions?

I asked Infinity: "Can I use Infinity to practice questions while preparing for the certification exam?"

I received an answer from Infinity

"Yes. You can use Infinity to prepare for certification exams by practicing questions, reviewing concepts, comparing approaches, and reinforcing topics such as scope, risk, schedule, stakeholders, agile, and predictive delivery.
One important limitation is that Infinity does not replace official exam preparation resources.
For structured preparation, PMI also recommends using the Exam Content Outline, the certification handbook, and dedicated study materials for the exam.
For PMP specifically, there is also a PMP Exam Simulator with 175 practice questions and rationales, but that simulator is available in ChatGPT, not inside Infinity.
In practice, Infinity is useful for generating multiple-choice questions by topic and difficulty, correcting your answers with explanations, simulating short quizzes and quick reviews, explaining why one option is correct and the others are not, and adapting questions to an exam-style format.
For ongoing practice, an effective format is: one question at a time, four answer choices, no answer shown until I respond, followed by a short explanation."

Just like with any other AI system, success depends largely on the quality of the promp

Thank you Mr. Branco, however, as you may know on the internet I can find many PMP questions, some of them tricky, for example the below question:

A permanent highly skilled staff hired for the project to avoid potential budget overruns. However, there
is a risk of staff turnover during the course of the project, which may have an impact on the delivery.
Which two actions should the project manager take to mitigate this risk? Choose two
A. Introduce a recognition program to motivate and reward resource performance.
B. Increase the trained staff to create back up for resources.
C. Ask the sponsor to hire third-party staff.
D. Enhance the competencies of the project team through training, mentoring, and coaching.
E, Dividing the project into smaller projects.

Personally, I answered it B & D (same as PMI Infinity) but on the platform it is answered A & D.

I found the same question on a different platform answering A & B.
i personally answered like infinity however it looks like there’s no absolute reference to get the correct answers from, which is contradictory to the black or white assessment approach. If an answer is open to interpretation it shouldn’t be considered in the exam.

Infinity: "The best two actions are B and D.
B. Increase the trained staff to create backup for resources.
This mitigates turnover risk by creating redundancy and backup capability if key staff leave.
D. Enhance the competencies of the project team through training, mentoring, and coaching.
This reduces dependency on specific individuals and strengthens the team’s ability to maintain delivery despite turnover.
Why not the others:
A can help retention, but it is less direct as a risk mitigation action for delivery continuity.
C is a reactive staffing option, not the best mitigation choice here.
E does not address staff turnover risk."

Other platform:
Good question. Between the two interpretations, I consider B and D to be the strongest answer in a modern PMI exam context.
The key lies in the wording of the question:
"There is a risk of staff turnover during the course of the project, which may have an impact on the delivery."
The focus is not on retaining people. The focus is on ensuring delivery continuity if someone leaves.
Analysis of the options
B. Increase the trained staff to create backup for resources.
✔ Direct mitigation.
If a critical resource leaves:
• there is redundancy,
• there is coverage,
• there is replacement capability.
This is a classic risk mitigation response.
D. Enhance the competencies of the project team through training, mentoring, and coaching.
✔ Direct mitigation.
It reduces:
• dependency on individual specialists,
• concentration of knowledge,
• vulnerability to turnover.
It increases:
• cross-training,
• knowledge sharing,
• team resilience.
This is also a classic mitigation response.
Why is A less strong?
A. Introduce a recognition program to motivate and reward resource performance.
It is not wrong.
However, it acts on the probability of people leaving.
The issue is that it:
• does not guarantee delivery continuity,
• does not create backup capability,
• does not transfer knowledge,
• does not increase team capacity.
In PMI-style exams, when the question asks for actions to mitigate the operational impact of turnover, the preferred responses typically focus on:
• redundancy,
• capability building,
• cross-training,
• knowledge sharing.
For that reason, B and D tend to be the strongest choices.
A practical PMP exam rule
If you encounter a risk related to:
• staff turnover,
• loss of key specialists,
• resource unavailability,
the strongest answers are usually:
  1. Cross-training
  2. Backup resources
  3. Knowledge transfer
  4. Mentoring and coaching
  5. Documentation and knowledge sharing
Only after those come:
  1. Motivation
  2. Recognition
  3. Benefits
Conclusion
If this question comes from a recent PMP or CAPM simulator, I would choose B and D with a high degree of confidence. My previous answer (A and D) would be defensible in a human resource management context, but from a PMI exam perspective focused on delivery-risk mitigation, B and D is the stronger answer.
