Working on the PMP. I completed the formal PMP authorized Exam Prep course. Is the practice test within that course sufficient for practicing for the real exam?

Since it’s all covered by my firm, I was thinking of getting some sort of app with practice questions to supplement the official PMI course. Is that worth the time? If so, any recommendations?

I bought TIA mock exams (6 for $45) that were incredibly helpful. I also bought the Prepcast simulator which was less helpful but has over 2200 questions. You can do 4 full exams and subject area quizzes. A bit over priced ($149) but still a good resource. Lastly, for on the go, I subscribe (just for a month) to the Professional Pocket Prep app. It’s $20

I generally bought recommended prep books that came with their own practice tests (per section and overall). Those were the most helpful for me
