All the paid memberships also provide:

100% Scope Coverage – of all the subjects in the PMP® Exam Content Outline, along with self-assessment quiz questions.

More Games – Test your recall and comprehension with even more crossword and word search games. Also, try image sequencing and memory games.

3 Months+ Benefits

Everyone who signs up for 3 months or more also receive:

Simulated Exam Quizzes – These are timed quizzes that feature questions at random from the entire curriculum of exam topics. You can choose 10, 25 or 50 question options, and they are timed to simulate how long per question you get in the real PMP® exam. These are powerful tools for boosting your confidence and preparing you for the exam.

Practice Exams with Results Radar – Practice exams are most useful when they clearly identify our strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to focus our study time on addressing our weaknesses. So, what we really need is a forensic-level analysis of our results, showing us exactly which Exam Content Outline elements we performed well on and which we need to study more.
Practice Exams with Results Radar features multiple questions from each of the Exam Content Outline’s Tasks. Answering several questions on each Task will allow a strengths assessment analysis to be conducted. The results of this analysis will be displayed on the exclusive PMillustrated Results Radar graphs.

This allows you to focus your study time where you need it most.

35 Hours Training Requirement – PM Illustrated offers a Certificate of Completion for members who complete the full PMP learning pathway and demonstrate readiness through a practice exam.
This certificate is intended to support the 35 hours of project management education required for the PMP exam. It fits in the “Self-paced on-demand training courses including an end-of-course assessment” category. For full details see the Certificate of Completion Page.

Money Back Guarantee

For anyone on the fence about buying a full-site membership, PM Illustrated offers a money-back guarantee. We are confident that if you use this site properly to prepare for your PMP exam you will pass. So, what do you have to lose? Either pass the exam and gain the benefits of becoming a PMP credential holder or have your membership costs refunded.

To qualify, applicants need to demonstrate they have used the site by collecting all the task badges and score over 75% on Practice Exam 1. That is it, no pages of fine-print rules. Just work your way through the site, test your knowledge as you go to earn badges, and take the practice exam. If you do this but are then not successful in your PMP exam. Send your failure notification for a full refund of your PM illustrated membership. Pass the exam or your money back. That’s a great deal!
