Closely resembles the exam questions.
Best set of questions that I found that closely resembled the actual exam questions. I passed the exam the first time.

If you want to doubt your knowledge, use this book.
I was disappointed with this book. I feel the questions did not mimic that of the test, relied too heavily on exact phrasing match to books which were only partially related to the actual certification material. I.e. the Requirements Management Book as well as the PMBOK. Additionally, the questions which did relate to the PMI-Practitioner of Business Analysis book were typical exact matches word for word, which were note the case in the real exam. Finally, I found typos or just plain wrong questions that lacked a logical explanation for the answer stated as correct other than providing a paragraph reference from the source document, even if other paragraphs provided more detailed and information which would result in a different answer.I found the actual exam to be much more "problem statement" and a subsequent "what is your next step" rather than a test of definitions which this book is comprised of.I completed ~18 questions at a time, reviewed the answers, targeted my learning for period of time, and did another 20 questions. I found that even by the end I was still only getting ~65% of the questions right due to the items stated in my first paragraph. This of course made me very nervous going into my test.In the end, I passed my exam on the first try. I would say it was 65% due to the PMI-Practitioner of Business Analysis book, 20% due to general work knowledge, 10% due to the Watermark Learning PMI-PBA Study Tables that I found online (googled any tools or techniques which were not in the PMI book), and maybe 5% due to this book.The biggest take-away this book gave me was memorizing the various forms of models, diagrams, charts, etc that are listed within the PMI book along with their usage and description.

Not recommend.
Passed PMI-PBA on Aug 2nd, 2017. It maybe good for checking your knowledge of PMBOK and BA Guide but it may not help you to get PMI-PBA certification.because most of questions will test your experiences based on Guides.

It's okay but not a great prep
I have to say that this wasn't particularly useful in preparing me for the exam and I passed it but it was no thanks to these practice questions. Get the PMI-PBA study guide by Watermark and study the PMBOK. With those two, you will definitely pass the exam.

but I didn't feel they were a good representation of what was truly on the test
These questions were ok, but I didn't feel they were a good representation of what was truly on the test. However, it could have just been the questions I had on my test.
