Hi, I´m preparing for PMP exam and I´m wondering how useful the PMchallenge questions are as a training material. I know it has questions like agile but I see most of the questions related with PMBOK, any advice? Thanks

PM Challenge questions will help & increase your knowledge if you refer the guided material and PMBOK via Find out more section given under each question....Based on my mock test experience I can say PMP exam questions are sometimes tricky and mock is better option comparatively

Not really. It seems some of the questions are out of date. They are fun, relatively speaking of course :) to go through now, but as a study tool, I'd recommend other materials.
Can you please recommend a good tool to prep for PMP exam ?

I would recommend PMBOK and PMP® Exam Prep by Rita Mulcahy, this is what I used to pass at first try.

Hello Ricardo,

You definitely should not rely on the PM Challenge questions for your exam. The exam questions are situational.
That being said it is good to explore your level of knowledge on the PM subject in a quick way to find gaps in your fundamental understanding.
Again, for exam prep you your don't rely on these questions. These are good brain and knowledge teasers.
I cleared my exam will all above target. Recommend you read the PMBOK guide at least twice, Agile practitioner guide at lease 4 times, and do a lot of mock exams to get ready.

It will not pass you the PMP exam for sure, but you can reference them for the latest PMBOK in circulation (7th Now) and create more questions to cover the other options (wrong answers), even much deeper questions with the lines within the options, at least you will grasp the principals for the options for you to dig deeper into deeper resources (Rita or others).

I would say no to the PM Challenge questions as an exam prep tool; however, they can show you where your strengths and weaknesses are in the PMBOK. They are based on an older version so you need to consider that as well.

PM challenge questions are not recommended as basis for studying and preparing for the PMP exam. Although it is a very useful resource to check basic PM fundamentals and understanding.
Exam is based on situational cases and deep understanding of the fundamentals is required to clear the exam.

Good Luck!
