Thoughts on iZen after a 2 week Pass
Passed!
2x Target, 2x Below Target, 1x Above Target. A pass is a pass 😂
Genuinely pleased with this one. I studied for about two weeks on a whim, partly to see whether I could and partly because it would help me be competitive for a new role I was eyeing up.
I wasn't sure where to go for practice questions.Getting the book is one thing, but I don't absorb material well in that format, and iZen came recommended often enough that it seemed worth trying.
I ended up doing only the practice questions, and I didn't even finish those, roughly 100 were still left when I sat the exam. I tried the videos, but the pace was too slow. Speeding them up made the accent too hard to listen to, and when I switched to reading the transcripts I lost interest entirely.
I'd rate the question bank a 7 out of 10. I was scoring consistently under 60% until mock exam 4, where I started clearing 70%.
Some questions are excellent: the format closely mirrors the real exam, the explanations go into real depth, and the knowledge is applicable. Others are poor, bad grammar, typos, no explanation beyond "A is correct," and a few answers that appear to be wrong outright.
That said, I'd still buy it. At minimum it got me back into the PMI mindset and gave me the repetition I needed to make the material stick.
Good Luck!
