« Great Resource! »

This is a fantastic resource for those wishing to study, learn and prepare for the Program Management Professional exam. Even if you are not preparing for the exam but just want to review the PMP guidelines or broaden your learning this is a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about or actually preparing to take the exam,or just wanting to learn a new skill.

« Best way to study for the PMP exam »

This book was recommended by a friend who has passed the PMP exam. I had access to other books and put off ordering the book while I was reading the other books -- big mistake. I should have ordered this one first.

The other books basically mirrored the content of the PMBOK guide with a few explanations about the terminology and summaries of the intent of the content.

This book takes a totally different approach - that being a view from the Project Managers side and how the work that a PM does is reflected in the PMP exam. Instead of telling you what the PMBOK guide contains, Rita explains what you, as a PM, should already be doing and how what you are doing relates to the exam and to the PMBOK guide. The exercises are not exercises in memorization (although I'm finding that memorization of Rita's Process Chart is helping) but rather exercises in how, as a PM, you should be doing things. In the first 100 pages I've read several times that if a topic is unfamiliar to the reader then the reader should re-examine his readiness to even be thinking about taking the exam. Each topic leads the reader into the next topic, explaining what the purpose of the topic is and how it relates to the next topic. The next topic then relates the previous topic and expands.

I am finding the questions at chapter end to be "real-world" in nature with PMI guidelines emphasized.

Although I am using the book in preparation for the exam, I can see this book being on my bookshelf as a reference for years to come.

« PMP Exam Prep, Sixth Edition: Rita's Course is good enough »

I used Rita's book and passed the PMP exam at the first try. I did not use any other book or exam simulation software. Just this book.

I read Rita's book in full twice taking the end of chapter tests after completing each. For the third time, I read only chapters that I did not do too well after I took end of chapter tests.

I cannot compare this book to any other as that does not matter. All I can tell you is that 3 months preparation reading the book enabled me to pass PMP.

If you find the book easy reading then go ahead and buy it. You will pass.

« Good Book for Perparing for PMP »

PMP Exam Prep, by Rita Mulcahy was a good book to aid preparing for PMP. Elaborate explanation of the material and good set of exam preparation questions.

Only negative is there are many references to selling products. I hope this will be toned down in the next edition.

I would recommend this book for anyone taking the PMP exam.
