(Hide Review...)  Excellent resource to reinforce PMI Knowledgebase
Reviewer Permalink
This book provides some excellent Project Management questions with detailed explanation of the right AND wrong answers following PMBOK book. This material will help reinforce the right PMI methodology and best practices.

This book is a valuable tool for preparing for the PMP exam. While the actual questions are atypical of the actual PMP Certification Exam, this book provides a great opportunity to reinforce learnings from the PMI's PMBOK Guide. The book is set up and laid out by each corresponding chapter making in it easy to navigate and use as a reference later for exam preparation.

Just buy it - you wont regret it. :)

It's full of multiple choice questions. I use it as a summary, self assessment tool in conjunction with my PMBoK.

(Hide Review...)  Execellent Resource
Reviewer Permalink
This is an excellent resource that will help you understand and review several concepts in the PMBOK Guide. The only problem is that the answers provide quotes from the PMBOK Guide and no explanations. The questions are simplistic: may be good for the CAPM exam, but not for the PMP exam.
To prepare for the PMP Exam, I used the PMP Exam Quicklet by Paul Sanghera, which contains very realistic questions.

I will be taking my exam the first weekend in April and I feel that this book is an excellent tool to help you prepare. One of my co-workers who just took her exam said she saw 2 questions from the book on her actual exam. She passed and I am confident that I will pass also.

(Hide Review...)  Not for PMP
Reviewer Permalink
Be warned that it doesn't contain the same type of situational questions that you will find in the PMP test. While these simple questions about concepts in the PMBOK might help you to practice for the CAPM test, the author doesn't even claim that the book will help you prepare for any test.

I bought this little book because I wanted to practice a little more, and because it was on sale. I finished it in less than two hours and never touched it again. A 100% success rate with these easy questions doesn't mean that you are prepared to pass the PMP test.

(Hide Review...)  Nothing Better Than The Source!
Reviewer Permalink
I started off taking the classes to get my 23 credits to qualify for the CAPM exam. After I finished the schooling and started taking practice test I found I wasn't getting enough of the answers right. The second thing I did was order the Aileen exam prep guide and some flashcards but I ran into the same problem as before lol.

I always heard that the PMBOK is so hard to understand etc. When I actually took the time to read it for myself I found it informative. It's not something you read in a sitting but it's not impassible. I was reading a little each day and as of this writing on the last the chapter of the book.

Buying test prep materials is tricky because some authors give you their watered down version of the PMBOK but when the test comes they are testing on the words phases and process from the PMBOK not someone else's rendition of the book.

It's worth the investment. You can finish it in a month there are only 12 chapters. I recommend you do nothing but read the book first. Second take the classes/training. Third order a test prep book and flash cards.

(Hide Review...)  It's useful, but it's not all you need
Reviewer Permalink
You can practice waiting for a train, bus, etc. It's not enough for anything, but it's a useful practice.

I honestly think it's enough with Rita Mulcahy's software. You can get there these and many more questions.

When I saw this book, I wasn't quite sure about it but figured I would try it. I used it to prepare for my CAPM exam and found it to be an invaluable tool to test my knowledge of the PMBOK. Using this guide in conjunction with reading the PMBOK really helped ensure my success on the CAPM exam. I have since recommended it to others as part of their study.
