Reader Reviews
I was recommended this book by some folks in my local PMI chapter. Based on that recommendation, I was hoping for a more accurate book on the test. This book does a good job of positioning the PMP lifecycle in a logical flow of information. I also thought that the information on the new ethical component of the test was very useful. Other reviews of this book already mention the large number of errors and ommissions, which really do detract from the overall experience -- assuming that this book would be used in a stand alone situation. If you were only going to buy one study guide, this is not the book to purchase. However, if you are looking at an addition to the study process (in addition to the Kim Heldman book for instance) along with the PMBOK -- then this is a great book to fill in some of the holes. As with any study guide, the questions & answers reference you back to the specific sections of the PMBOK. Even in the cases where there are errors, you will still be referenced to the PMBOK which will give you the "official" correct answer. The format is familiar and the book adds value. Just do not assume that reading this book alone will get you past the test. Comment | | (Report this)
