Pmp Exam Prep: Review Material, Explanations, Insider Tips, Exercises, Games and Practice Exams

Nice for beginners

This is an excellent study guide for PMI's PMP exam. Rita focuses on what you need to know for the exam. You can cover all the material in the book in about 2-3 days depending on your project management experience and familiarity with the PMBOK. In particular, the practice tests after each chapter are invaluable. They will help you understand the thought process required for the PMP exam. Many of the questions have more than one correct answer but the trick is to pick the most correct answer. Learning how to do that is crucial to passing and obtaining a good score.In addition to this book, I also read Kim Heldman's PMP Study Guide. I recommend that highly as well. It follows more of a text book format and is an excellent supplement to the workbook-like PMP Exam Prep.BTW., I passed the exam with ease and a lot of credit goes to Rita and Kim's study guides.

他の教科書と比べて要点がとても見やすく、覚えるべきこと、覚えなくていいことが明確に整理してあり、とてもわかりやすかった。著者に感謝しています。PMP合格へは最低３回読むことを著者は進めている。Exercizeも２－３回はすることを進めます。　問題もシチュエーショナルな問題も多くあり、とても実践的であった。　ただ問題数はそれほど多くないので　PM Fastrackを併用すると効果が上がると思う。PMP受験講習はとても高いので私は受けなかったが、講習を受けなくてもこの教科書で合格できますよ。

Rita nicely simplifies the PMBOK and writes a far more readable version. RIP

This book does a good job of picking out concepts from each PMBOK chapter and lists these in a concise format in bullets or short paragraphs that are easy to refer back to when preparing for the PMP exam. It also does a good job of organizing questions at the end of each chapter that I thought are slightly tougher than the ones in the actual exam.I was able to use this guide effectively in conjunction with the PMBOK and pass the PMP in the first go.

Hi,This book is good from exam point of view. The cost of others calling this "great" is probably $1000+ for some 3-day classroom courses either with Rita or with cheetahlearning etc. Passing the exam only with the help of this book is impossible.This book covers the key points for the exam. This book keeps reading more interesting and easier. But number of practice questions are very less (only 30 questions from each chapter. Passing only with this book is impossible. The highlight of Rita's book is the time and cost chapter - she has done a great job in those two topics.Remember PMBOK IS the bible. Other book that you might want to consider is from ESI. I bought their practice exam guide. When you compare Rita's book with ESI's practice exam guide, ESI has 40 questions on each topic and one set of 200 questions exam as in the real exam. ALL of ESI's questions are directly from PMBOK. Believe me they are hard to answer. If someone scores over 75% in ESI's practice exam, they will score 80% in the actual exam.From my friends' circle, all who passed the exam - including me - either attended an expensive course or bought an expensive CD for practice exam. I bought Rita's PM Fastrack - very expensive one - VERY USEFUL. Lot of PMBOK study+PM Fastrack = my success.Hope this helps
