You Will Never See Testimonials on This Site

don

You've seen the pages. Five-star reviews stacked in a neat grid. A smiling headshot next to a quote about how "this course changed my life." Maybe a first name and a city — "Sarah K., Dallas" — to make it feel real.

We don't do that. And we're not going to.

Not because we don't have happy users. We do. But testimonials are the weakest possible evidence that a study tool actually works. They're selected, edited, and arranged to tell a story the company wants you to believe. You have no way to verify them. You have no way to know how many people didn't pass. They're marketing, not measurement.

GanttGrind is built on measurement. So here's what we show you instead.

Your Readiness Score Is Not a Feeling

Every question you answer on GanttGrind updates a per-domain mastery model tied to your profile. This isn't a single percentage slapped on a dashboard — it's a weighted calculation across every exam domain, adjusted for recency, question difficulty, and how many questions you've actually covered in each area.

Right now, across all active users on the platform:

  • Average mastery score: 60.2% — with a range from 20% to 100%
  • Average readiness score: 49.7% — the number that accounts for coverage gaps and recency decay
  • Overall accuracy rate: 58.8% across all responses

These aren't numbers we picked because they look good. They're the real distribution. Most users are not exam-ready yet — and that's the point. The readiness score exists to tell you the truth, not to make you feel better about buying something.

The Distribution Tells the Real Story

Here's where active users fall on the readiness spectrum right now:

Readiness LevelUsers
Above Target (80%+)1
At Target (70–79%)4
Below Target (60–69%)5
Needs Improvement (40–59%)9
Beginning (1–39%)9

Most users are in the "Needs Improvement" and "Beginning" tiers. That's not a failure of the product — it's the product working. If everyone showed up at 90% readiness after 50 questions, the model would be lying to you.

The users in the "Above Target" tier have answered hundreds of questions across all domains. They didn't get there in a weekend. The readiness score reflects actual preparation depth, not optimism.

What We Actually Track

Every answer you submit feeds into a system that tracks:

  • Per-domain mastery — your accuracy in each exam domain, weighted by recency. Old correct answers decay. Recent mistakes hit harder.
  • Coverage gaps — readiness penalizes you for domains you haven't touched. You can't score 80% readiness by only studying People and ignoring Process.
  • Time per question — the average across all users is 63.6 seconds per question. If you're consistently over 90 seconds, the real exam's time pressure will be a problem. If you're under 30, you might be rushing through explanations.
  • Accuracy trend over time — not just your current number, but whether you're improving, plateauing, or declining.

None of this shows up in a testimonial. "I passed!" tells you nothing about whether you will pass. Your readiness score, built from your own responses across all exam domains, tells you something real.

7,800+ Questions. No Padding.

The question bank has 7,809 questions — 7,723 active at any time. That includes:

  • 6,889 multiple choice questions
  • 312 fill-in-the-blank items
  • 242 scenario sets (multi-part situational questions)
  • 195 matching exercises
  • 85 multi-select items

Every question has a detailed explanation. Not a sentence — a full breakdown of why the correct answer is correct and why each wrong answer is wrong. When you get a question wrong, the explanation tells you exactly what concept you missed and how to think about it next time.

We don't pad the bank with easy questions to inflate your accuracy. The overall accuracy rate across all users is 58.8%. If you're scoring significantly above that, you're genuinely outperforming — not being coddled by a question set designed to make you feel smart.

Why This Matters More Than a Quote

A testimonial says: "I passed the PMP!"

Your readiness dashboard says:

  • You've answered 340 questions
  • Your Process domain is at 72% mastery but your People domain is at 48%
  • You haven't touched Business Environment in 11 days and it's decaying
  • Your overall readiness is 61% — below the target threshold
  • At your current pace, you need approximately 2 more weeks of focused practice in People before you should book your exam

One of those is a marketing asset. The other is a study tool. We built the study tool.

The Standard We Hold Ourselves To

We could collect testimonials. We could put a review widget on the homepage. We could screenshot DMs and post them with fire emojis.

Instead, we publish the actual platform statistics. The average accuracy is 58.8%, not 95%. The average readiness is 49.7%, not "exam-ready." Most users are still in the preparation phase, and the system is designed to keep them honest about that until they've genuinely earned a high readiness score.

When your readiness score crosses 75%, that means something. It means you've demonstrated consistent accuracy across all exam domains, with sufficient coverage and recent enough practice that the model believes you're prepared. It's not a feeling. It's not a quote from someone you've never met. It's your data.

That's the only endorsement that should matter when you're deciding whether to spend $405 on an exam fee.


Your readiness score is waiting. Start practicing — it's free, and the numbers don't lie.
