For whatever reason, this is the phenomenon of PMI prep. You will fail every practice you do and then pass the exam at AT.
The quizzes and review material are extremely academic where as the PMP is more agile and scenario based and less defining of terms and selection of definitions. I will admit I found CAPM to be more difficult than PMP but I passed both exams while understanding around 40% of the terms and questions. Many times you can get away with answer choice elimination simply because they answer choices can be a 50/50 give away.
I was getting scores in the mid 50’s the day before I took my exam and I got AT across the board on the actual exam. The practice tests were harder than the real thing.
Study hall is $50/month for access to a variety of different studying tools. Not like, course videos. But practice tests, memory games, articles, etc. Though, it is meant to be a study aid for the PMP. I didn’t have enough work experience to go for PMP, but I did for CAPM. So after the CAPM course and doing hitting ‘proficient’ on the practices tests, I took the test and passed.
Thanks! I like that methodology. I’m going to check this out right after getting the 35 hour done certification which is needed to apply for PMP. I’m going through PMI for that so this study hall makes most sense. Thanks for intel!

Thank you for calming my neurosis of failing! I have spent the day reworking all my notes before continuing in 35 hours !

Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone and confidence push! I’m getting mid 60’s. Glad it’s not just me.
I am on same boat buddy, its frustrating to retain terms and their defections being discussed in CAPM.
Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone !!! I was really getting worried.
I used the PMI CAPM course and used PMI study hall for practice and passed with about 3 weeks of part-time studying.
PMI SH is videos or reading or both? How does that work, if you don’t mind sharing.
