Our verdict on each
mindhub by Pearson - The
mindhub by Pearson suits US candidates sitting a vendor exam who want scored practice rather than a course library, with 398 practice questions in its PMP test. Prices start at $40, but there is no free tier, and email is the only support channel.
Superior

Pros and cons
mindhub by Pearson - The
Pros
- A pass guarantee on practice tests, where the published terms refund the full practice test purchase price and prorate it on discounted or bundled tests.
- 398 practice questions in the PMP practice test, against a site median that sits at 3,000.
- An entry price of $40 for a self-paced course, with the cheapest single exam packs on the market starting lower still at $9.99.
Cons
- No free tier, so nothing can be sampled at no cost before a purchase.
- Support runs on email only, with no phone or live chat listed for questions about a purchase or a refund.
- Practice access is short at 1 to 2 months, so a test holding 398 practice questions has to be worked through quickly or bought again.
Superior
Pros
- Live classes and assessments are both part of the offering rather than an extra
- The catalogue holds 27 courses with 6 months of access each
- Courses are state approved in North Carolina and South Carolina, keeping licence education in step with the state
Cons
- The exam subject list is real estate, so candidates in other fields find nothing to take
- The money back score promise (money back) applies to the exam prep purchase, and a broker pre-licensing course is retaken at a reduced tuition fee instead
- Course access runs 6 months, so a slower study pace can outlast the window
Who each suits
mindhub by Pearson - The
Who it suits
- Candidates sitting the PMP exam who want scored practice and a refund rather than a course library.
- Buyers on a tight budget who want a full self-paced course at $40 rather than a subscription.
- US buyers and companies buying in bulk, with the service listed for the US market and a team plan available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a free sample first, since there is no free tier here; Testprep Training sells single exam practice packs from $12.99 for a smaller commitment.
- Coaching buyers, because Marisa Peer works in coaching and is built around working with a person rather than a test bank.
- Shoppers who need help while they are deciding, since support runs on email only and no phone line is listed for a question mid purchase.
Superior
Who it suits
- North Carolina candidates looking for state approved pre-licensing and continuing education in the same catalogue
- Learners who want live classes alongside self paced material
- Study groups and brokerages that want a team plan for continuing education
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners after subjects outside real estate, where Academy for Health and Fitness and ACLS Now sit in other fields and the Superior exam list is real estate
- Candidates who want a timed free trial, since the free offer is a free tier and the paid fallback is a 30 day refund window
- Multi-state shoppers, since the state approved list is NC and SC while The Wild Rose at CAD 19.97 is a single market purchase
Questions about each
mindhub by Pearson - The
What does mindhub by Pearson cost, and what does the entry price cover?+
The listed entry price is $40, taken from a self-paced course delivered online. Exam prices are listed separately and sit well above that figure: the self-paced Pearson PMP course is priced far higher than the MeasureUp PMP practice test, and the longer access window on that practice test costs more than the shorter one. Budget for the exam as its own line.
Is there a free tier or free trial to test before buying?+
No. mindhub by Pearson has no free tier, so there is no free course, no free practice test and no trial to time against a paid purchase. The nearest thing to a safety net is the returns window of 30 days from purchase. A platform that hands over a free sample first, then asks for money, suits a cautious buyer better.
Superior
What does Superior cost to get started?+
Entry sits at $40, which covers a small item in the range. A full pre-licensing course costs more, and the bundled packages cost more again, so the entry figure is not the price of a licence course. Cheaper starting points among the listed rivals include $9.95 and CAD 19.97.
What does the continuing education membership cost?+
The continuing education membership is $199, and that is the number to watch at renewal rather than the entry price. It pairs with the professional certificate type and the continuing education credits a working broker needs. Readers on a budget can weigh it against the free tier instead.
