Are exam bundles still available?
- NO. We have stopped offering the PMP exam bundles and now offer the individual exams at the same prices and duration of access as was available in the bundle. This is allowing users to avail of the same great price and duration of access but focus on 1 exam at a time. Once a user takes an exam, it is important that they use the analysis tools on the site to see where there weak areas are for the PMP certification exam. This analysis really shows people where they must study more. While this is only an indicator in a 10 question free PMP exam, it can show a far clearer trend in a 200 question exam. e.g. that a user has a weakness in planning across all knowledge areas.
