As many as one can lay their hands on. If the trial tests are taken 10 times one must ensure the questions taken in 10 trials are completely different. getting a consistent 90% and above in these 10 trials for me signifies one is prepared to take the actual credential test.

it needs about 1500 questions from the fast track pmp software where you should score no less than 70 percent so when you feel you are getting more than 70 percent go ahead. That is how I succeeded in the exam
I don't think it's a number, it's more what is your level of success.
Preparation should be about understanding.
Sample questions are a a way to test yourself and see how question are formulated.
0001 to 1000 (0 votes)
1001 to 2000 (1 vote)
2001 or More (0 votes)
No Idea or it depends on each person (0 votes)

I think it depends on how quickly you can get to a passing score. Of course, that's kind of hard to know now that you are not given a score anymore. (When I took mine in 2003, I needed 82.5% to pass.)

Thanks for your input,
This is interesting, because it takes me me to another question, What's the suggested average scores in practice test that indicates that you're ready for the real exam.
For you it was 82.5%, for others is 90%, I even see a suggested of 95% score as indicator for readiness.
Of course it depends on the type of practice test, that's why the question is posted as average.

Hello George,
there is a thumb rule that you should score 75%+ in every NEW mock exam you take, than there would be a good chance that you are ready to go for it. There is and will be no guarantee at all.
The number of sample questions depends on the already gained skill and knowledge. Sample questions and mock exams should be utilized to figure out where the weak areas are and than focus on them.
So, you have to take sample questions as long as you have a good feeling for all knowledge areas.
Some will need less than 1000 otheres may be need more than 3000 ...
But more important than the number of the sample questions/mock exams is the quality imho.
If you only use free available stuff and maybe even from not so serious resources this could be even counterpproductive ...
My recommondation would be to rely on few really serious resources for free stuff and much better, invest some bucks in one or two professional online simulators where you also be able to really SIMULATE the exam situation.
For free stuff please refer to this guide which contains the best and most popular resources for free available questions:
