Overall Experience Sullied by OnVUE Application
Working with PMI directly was great. The application process and all the tools they offered were high quality. I found particular value using Study Hall Essentials to practice for the exam. Before taking the exam I would have given 5 stars. However, the exam experience itself was so awful that I am reducing the score to 3 stars. PMI uses a third party, Pearson VUE to administer remote exams. Pearson VUE requires you to download an application called OnVUE to take the exam. It is beyond me why in 2025 we would need to download an application rather than taking the exam in a web-based application. The application is clunky and the tools available (calculator, highlighter, notes) are rudimentary. It feels like the application was developed in 2025 and has received only minor updates since then. In summary, the polish and professionalism of PMI itself is cheapened by OnVUE application used for remote test taking.
