PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide: Updated for the 2015 Exam 8th Edition

Much better organised than the Rita's guide (and doesn't arbitrarily make up processes that aren't on the test!). Plus the online test questions are free with the purchase of the book (instead of trying to squeeze you for more money like Rita's).And I do feel qualified to make these comparisons because I bought "Rita Mulcathy's PMP Exam Prep" first. I didn't like it and asked actual PMI instructors for a recommendation. Apparently Rita's WAS the standard for years, but they're been resting on their laurels for a while now and instructors no longer recommend it.(It don't help that, unfortunately, Rita Mulcathy died before the current edition of PMP even came out. Now her business partners are just using her good name to sell an inferior product.)And for PMP aspirants worried about the fact that PMP version six is expected in 2018, don't let that stop you from starting your studies now. They're adding a few more items (mostly on agile development, from what I hear) and I'm sure there will be SEVERAL guides out there detailing the difference between the editions.

Great help in preparing for PMP exam. I completed six courses for PMP at a local university (online). Before taking the PMP exam, I used this book to study. It was a tremendous help and I believe it was instrumental in my passing the exam on the first try!

If you learn best by information being presented in story mode this is an excellent resource! The knowledge areas will jump off the page.

Passed two master's level courses with the information from this book and I received my CAPM.

Great manual in sequential order to the process.

Questions and approach was different than other study sources, but it worked great for me and was key to my passing.

Very good book , easy to understand the language with lots of examples

Exam questions are not very good or helpful. The answered stretch the bounds of being correct I think in an attempt to have "tricky" questions. Book is not organized very well. There are a lot of better reviews out there, better to spend money on one of them. Very disappointed in purchase, wish I had spent my time better using another one.

Excelente libro, recomendado por mis profesores del Tec para presentar el examen de certificación.

Best

Reflects real practical experience in project management with lots of examples and real case scenarios. I went through many, this was the best one and on top of all others. The extra online access materials and exams are serious stuff makes it perfect!

very happy

Helpful book to study for PMP exam
