Built for the 2026 PMP Exam (Effective July 9)

The PMP Exam Simulator
Built for 2026.

Passing the 2026 PMP isn't about memorizing terms.
It's knowing why the right answer beats the one you almost picked, and knowing if you're ready before exam day.
PM Mastery is built for exactly that: 4,000+ questions (including 200 in 40 case studies), full 180-question mock exams, and an AI coach that explains every answer.

What you get that a question bank alone doesn't

Know when you're ready

Your readiness score is your real accuracy, weighted by how much you've practiced and broken down by People, Process and Business Environment. It never shows higher than your actual accuracy, so you're not guessing from one mock score.

Understand why the right answer wins

Stuck between two answers that both look right? On any question, ask the AI coach why the other options are wrong, get a simpler explanation, or get a memory trick.

What is PM Mastery?

PM Mastery is the PMP exam simulator built specifically for the 2026 PMP exam format (effective July 9, 2026). It features 4,000+ questions aligned with the PMBOK 8th Edition and the 2026 Examination Content Outline (ECO), including 40 case studies with 200 linked questions for the new multi-question scenario format, 180-question mock exams in the actual 2026 ECO domain weights (People 33%, Process 41%, Business Environment 26%), and an AI Coach powered by Claude that explains every answer and points you to your weakest areas.

PM Mastery offers a free tier with 100 balanced practice questions (no credit card required) and paid plans including a $99 Exam Prep Pass (90 days of full access, one-time, no subscription), $49 per month, or $399 lifetime. The Pass comes with a Pass Guarantee: complete 3 full mock exams before your exam, and if you don't pass, your Pass is extended free for 90 days (terms apply). PM Mastery is operated by PM Mastery Solutions, LLC, a New Orleans, Louisiana company founded in 2026 to build PMP prep exclusively for the new 2026 exam format. It is built by independent founder George (Ben) Schenck Jr. around the current PMBOK 8th Edition and 2026 ECO rather than the outgoing material.

PM Mastery is best for self-directed learners preparing for the 2026 PMP exam who want AI-powered explanations, 2026-native content built around PMBOK 8th Edition, and a large question bank with case study practice. It pairs well with structured video courses (such as those on Udemy by Andrew Ramdayal or Joseph Phillips) that satisfy the 35 contact hours required for PMI's PMP application.

How It Works

Three Steps From "I'm Signing Up" to "I'm Ready"

Important to know: PM Mastery is exam practice and preparation. It does not provide the 35 contact hours PMI requires to apply. Most candidates get those from a separate course, then use PM Mastery for practice, mock exams and readiness.

Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PM Mastery aligned with the 2026 PMP exam?

Yes. All 4,000+ questions, including the 200 in 40 case studies, are aligned with the PMBOK 8th Edition and the 2026 ECO. Questions are tagged to all 26 tasks across People (33%), Process (41%), and Business Environment (26%) domains with a 60/40 agile-hybrid to predictive split.

Who writes and checks the questions?

Questions are drafted with AI, then checked against PMBOK 8 and the 2026 PMP Exam Content Outline, run through automated quality checks, and audited by the founder, George (Ben) Schenck Jr. See a mistake? Use the flag on any practice question and he'll fix it.

How many mock exams do I get?

With 4,000+ questions (including 200 in 40 case studies), you can generate multiple unique 180-question mock exams. Each exam is weighted to match the 2026 ECO domain percentages, so you're practicing in the actual exam format.

Can I access PM Mastery on mobile?

Yes. PM Mastery is fully responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Study anywhere, anytime with your progress automatically synced.

Can I use PM Mastery from China or other regions with internet restrictions?

Yes. PM Mastery is hosted on standard global infrastructure and doesn't require a VPN to access, register, or check out. If you're using a VPN for other reasons, you may need to disable it temporarily during checkout because some VPN exit nodes are blocked by payment processors.

How is PM Mastery different from PMI Study Hall?

PMI Study Hall is PMI's own practice product, with questions written by PMI. The PMP Plus plan is $79 per quarter and renews automatically, with about 1,120 questions across full-length practice exams, mini exams, quizzes, and extra practice questions. PM Mastery has 4,000+ questions (including 200 in 40 case studies in the new multi-question scenario format), and an AI Coach powered by Claude that explains every answer, for $99 one time with 90 days of access and no renewal. Some candidates use both, adding Study Hall in the final weeks for PMI's own question wording.

How is PM Mastery different from Pocket Prep or the TIA simulator?

Pocket Prep is a mobile question app with 2,550 PMP questions, priced from $20.99 a month or $49.99 for three months. TIA's simulator, from Andrew Ramdayal, has 2,000+ questions with video explanations and 60 days of access. PM Mastery has 4,000+ questions (including 200 in 40 case studies in the new exam's scenario format), full 180-question mock exams, and an AI Coach powered by Claude on every question. PM Mastery does not include the 35 contact hours required for the PMP application, so candidates pair it with a course such as Andrew Ramdayal's or Joseph Phillips' on Udemy.

What is the AI Coach and how does it work?

The AI Coach is powered by Anthropic's Claude AI. On any practice question, you can click "Ask AI Coach" and it will explain the correct answer, why other options fail, the underlying PMBOK 8th Edition concept, real-world context, and the specific exam trap PMI set. Your dashboard also points you to your weakest areas. Free users get 3 AI Coach interactions per day; premium users get 25 per day.

Does PM Mastery satisfy the 35 contact hours requirement?

No. PM Mastery is a question-bank-first practice platform, not a structured video course. PMI requires 35 contact hours of formal project management education before you can apply for the PMP. To satisfy this, candidates typically take a Udemy course (Andrew Ramdayal's PMP course is the most popular at $20-$50 on sale), the official PMI On-Demand Course, or a course from a PMI Authorized Training Partner. Once you have the contact hours, PM Mastery becomes the practice and exam-prep layer.

What does the free tier include?

The free tier includes 100 scenario questions balanced to match the 2026 PMP exam weights (People 33%, Process 41%, Business Environment 26%). It also includes 3 AI Coach interactions per day, the EVM calculator, the PERT calculator, the Communication Channels formula calculator, and the formula flashcards. No credit card required.

Is there a pass guarantee?

Yes, on the Exam Prep Pass. Complete at least 3 full mock exams (162 or more of 180 questions answered), and if you don't pass the PMP, email us your PMI result within 30 days of your exam and we'll extend your Pass free for 90 days. One extension per customer. It's an extension, not a refund. Full conditions.
