As a project management instructor and course developer at a state university, a project management keynote speaker, and someone who has been training project managers for nearly two decades, I highly recommend this book. I have also helped hundreds to pass their PMP exams (including training PMI employees), I believe that this prep book and the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge: PMBOK(R) Guide is what you need at a minimum to pass the latest PMP exam. For those of you who are excellent independent learners, these two resources may be all you need.For this review, I'll compare this with the ever-popular Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam, which I also believe is an excellent choice. Both follow the chapters of the PMBOK and are very well written.CONTENTTie - When it comes to being concise, Mulcahy does a great job of keeping it simple and to-the-point. If I'm judging on depth, Phillips provides a bit more. Both books have up-to-date info, just presented differently.STYLEMulcahy - This is a personal preference but I like the in-your-face tone in Mulcahy's books. Sometimes sarcastic, sometimes military-like motivational, always entertaining.REINFORCEMENTMulcahy - Both books do a good job of providing relevant examples but Mulcahy's workbook-like exercises are simply awesome.SELF-ASSESSMENTTie - Both Phillips and Mulcahy have in-chapter or end-of-chapter reinforcement questions. Mulcahy's are slightly easier so make sure you score higher if you taking those.PRACTICE EXAMSPhillips - Phillips comes with full practice exams while sadly, although Mulcahy has questions spread throughout each chapter, it does not come with practice exams. However, they can be purchased separately.VALUEPhillips - Although I believe Mulcahy has a slight edge overall, it also costs three times more than Phillips. For a measly $30, Phillips gives you an excellent prep book with more than adequate exercises. This gives you the biggest bang for the buck.OVERALLBoth books are more than adequate as long as you also have the PMBOK. It all depends on your budget and your preference of style. You can't go wrong either way.
This excellent PMP exam prep study guide is chock full of useful information and tips for taking AND PASSING the PMP certification exam. It is well organized, contains good quizzes at the end of each chapter, a CD that you can download which includes the entire text for study plus a 200 question practice exam. In addition, you get online access to a second 200 question practice exam. The book is written in Joe's light and breezy style, which sure beats slogging through the PMBOK Guide. The appendix on Critical Exam Information will be tremendously helpful to anyone pursuing certification.
Instead of slogging through the PMBOK which turned out to be unhelpful and unproductive for passing the exam, I found this study guide and CD to be concise, relevant, accessible, and very helpful.It covers the Fifth Edition PMBOK material you now need to pass the PMP exam.I read the entire book and did all the chapter quizzes and practice exams and followed all the good advice. Especially useful was the suggestion to make and memorize essential information then writing it down on the paper provided in the exam.It really helped me relax, do my best, and pass the exam - which I did!
This is the best book to use to prepare for the PMP exam. The sample tests and many quizzes are very good. The author explains why each answer is correct or incorrect. The style of writing is engaging.
Read it, re-read it, used the CD. Not a great resource for the PMP. Most of the information was repetitive and, while there a few good products on CD, the exam was had little depth. I did the chapter tests, highlighted, and tabbed pages- I still found math equations and verbage on the exam that were foreign.
Huge fan of the layout of this book as it is aligned with the PMBOK. The videos are helpful and breakup the reading. Haven't taken the exam yet but I'm confident given how well I am absorbing the material and knocking out practice tests.
This book is well written and very organized. Absolutely gives all the necessary info to take the exam, if that is your intention.
This book was a life saver for taking the PMP, just took the PMP and passed all sections with Proficient rating. I could not get through the PMP official PMBOK, but was able to read this. It is very well written, with normal person language. It gives you hints for exams and for real life. The questions in the self-tests and the master exam are very similar to the PMP exam.
