Where can I find a PMP exam practice test that’s actually close to the real exam? Free options?

I’m preparing for the PMP exam and looking for a solid PMP exam practice test that really mimics the style and difficulty of the actual exam. I’ve found a bunch of sample questions online, but they feel kind of outdated or too easy. I’m also seeing "PMP certification practice test" and "PMP mock tests" in searches, which I'm assuming are all the same thing.  Are there any free resources that people here actually recommend?

Great question. You’re absolutely right to focus on finding a PMP certification practice test that feels as close to the real exam as possible. Whether people call them PMP mock tests, practice exams, or simulators, the goal is the same: get comfortable with the way PMI asks questions so nothing feels unfamiliar on exam day.

If you’re early in your prep, starting with a free PMP certification practice test is a smart move. At Brain Sensei, we offer a downloadable PMP practice test PDF with realistic, scenario-based questions, multiple choice formatting, and a detailed answer key that explains why each answer is correct. It’s not a full 180-question simulator, but it’s a solid way to get a feel for PMP-style questions before committing to a full course. Many learners use it as a quick reality check to see where they stand.

One thing to be careful about with free PMP mock tests you find online is quality. A lot of them are based on older versions of the PMBOK Guide, focus on overly simple questions, or don’t explain the reasoning behind the answers. They can help with basic concepts, but they don’t always reflect the situational, judgment-based style of the actual PMP exam. That’s usually where people start feeling surprised on test day.

If you’re looking for full-length, realistic PMP mock tests that truly simulate the exam, that’s where a comprehensive prep course makes a difference. Brain Sensei’s PMP Exam Prep Course includes an exam simulator with over 1,500 questions covering predictive, agile, and hybrid scenarios. You can take timed PMP certification practice tests that match the pacing and pressure of the real exam, which helps build both confidence and endurance.

The course also includes the 35 contact hours required by PMI, and the material is taught using a story-driven approach. Instead of memorizing disconnected concepts, you see how everything fits together in real-world project situations, which tends to stick much better for most people. There’s also a pass guarantee, so if you don’t pass on your first attempt, you’re not left on your own.  Get the full course here: Brain Sensei PMP Exam Prep Course

If you’re deciding how to approach your prep, a good path is to start with a free PMP certification practice test to understand the question style, then move on to full PMP mock tests that let you practice under realistic conditions. That combination helps you sharpen your decision-making, improve your timing, and walk into the exam knowing exactly what to expect.  Here's a link to a full 180 question free PMP sample exam you can try first.

If you want help comparing different PMP practice test options or figuring out when you’re ready to schedule your exam, feel free to ask. Happy studying, and good luck with your PMP journey.
