The Course
The course is literally just links to papers wrapped up in a slideshow. It does not train you for the material.
The Exam
The exam mostly focuses on (and requires Super, not On Track answers) stakeholder questions. So if Stakeholder doesn't like your communication what do you do? The answers are all slightly right, and slightly wrong. It's rather confusing and turned around.
Did you pass?

The purpose of the course is for PDU toward recertification, so I guess they expect you to be at least CAPM before taking the course. Either you know it or you don't situation  .

It was slightly changed with an advertised course as well. The course is to be the introduction to PMI now, the page is a bit off.
The course is a like a fancy powerpoint that links to paywalled papers which is what made it so difficult. It's a powerpoint that literally asks you to read essays, that aren't relevant to the topic.
The exam wasn't about agile. 20% of the questions was about customer invoices LOL

When you say paywall papers, do you mean that they are part of PMI? PMI is membership based and there's a student membership that's $32 a year.
