Validates foundational knowledge of project management concepts, life cycle phases, tools and documentation, and IT governance basics.
Project+ PK0-005 is up to 90 questions in 90 minutes: multiple choice plus a few performance-based questions (PBQs). The questions are short scenarios that ask for the best next step. We compared the main options on exam-style wording, PBQ coverage and price.
Start with CompTIA's free 10 questions, then work through Jason Dion's timed exams, and add a second source with different wording, such as Pocket Prep or the Sybex book, before you book.

CompTIA's own 10-question sample for the current exam, with an answer key at the end. The quickest way to see how CompTIA words a Project+ question.
Great fit if you want a first look at official question style before paying for anything.
Poor fit if you need explanations or a full-length run; move on to Dion or Pocket Prep.
Six timed 90-question exams with simulation-style items, feedback on every answer and a score by domain and objective. Many passers use it, though some report wrong explanations and off-objective questions.
Great fit if you want several timed full-length exams and will check odd questions against the exam objectives.
Poor fit if you want cleaner explanations or a second style of wording; add Pocket Prep or the Sybex book.
Short quizzes and mock exams across the four domains, with an explanation for every question and progress tracked by subject. Good for spare minutes on a phone, less so for rehearsing a full sitting.
Great fit if you study in short sessions on your phone and want a second set of questions in different wording.
Poor fit if you want a one-time purchase; Dion costs less overall.
Domain-by-domain questions with explanations in a book by Project+ author Brett J. Feddersen, updated with agile and iterative questions. One passer called its question bank the closest match to the exam's style.
Great fit if you want a book of Project+ questions with explanations and prefer a second wording style to Dion's.
Poor fit if you want timed exams you can retake in volume; choose Dion.
A 500-question bank with custom timed practice tests, one-at-a-time study mode and 116 flashcards, on web and mobile. Free users can run 20-question tests with no sign-up.
Great fit if you want the cheapest paid question bank and a free taste first.
Poor fit if you want a long-established Project+ set; Dion and Pocket Prep have more candidate feedback.
CompTIA's official practice tool: timed and untimed tests with PBQs and a mastery score for each objective. Candidates find the questions ambiguous and the PBQs harder than the real exam, but useful for spotting gaps.
Great fit if you already have it through a school or CompTIA bundle, or want official objective-by-objective practice and PBQ rehearsal.
Poor fit if you are buying one practice product on a budget; Dion and Pocket Prep give more for far less.

Yes. CompTIA publishes a free 10-question PK0-005 sample with an answer key, Crucial Exams offers free 20-question tests with no sign-up, and Pocket Prep gives 30 free questions. None replaces a full-length timed exam with explanations.
Candidates who used CertMaster and the Sybex question bank say the practice questions are more ambiguous and the PBQs harder than on the real exam. Several passed after scoring in the 60s and 70s in practice.
There is no official number. Take a short diagnostic first, then two or three full timed exams from at least two sources, reviewing every wrong answer, until your results stop changing.
Some do. Dion's Udemy set describes simulation-style questions, and CertMaster Practice includes a timed test with PBQs. Pocket Prep and the Sybex book do not advertise them.
