5.0 out of 5 stars I passed my exam with this book. Nov 20 2003
By Karthikeyan Kumaraguru
Format:Hardcover
I used Kim Heldman's book, the Yahoo group and PMBOK as my prep material. This book is not perfect, but it is more than enough to pass the exam. The author covers about 90% of PMBOK and covers other material (that are not in the PMBOK, but we are tested for) as well. For example, Pert/CPM calculations, Code of Conduct Scenarios, Motivation theories etc..

I studied this book, then the PMBOK once, this book again, PMBOK again. I took some free tests on the Internet, took the tests in this book and in the actual PMP exam. I averaged about 83% in those preparation tests and I got 164/200 (82%) in the actual PMP exam. I spent about 130-140 hours on the subject in total.

The test questions in this book after every chapter and at the end of the book (and cd), are really good. The test exam(s) in the cd almost resembled the real exam. I wished there were more questions in the cd, like 200 questions per test or so. (There are 50 questions per exam now). This is particularly true because PMP exam is a 4 hour long 200 question exam. By about the 160th question, even simple sentences like 'Assume you are a project manager' became a little difficult for me to grasp. I guess I lacked the mental stamina to take the gruelling 4 hour one in one shot. May be this book could have prepared me for that.

Otherwise, this book is great. There were areas this book that went above and beyond the PMBOK. And test questions from these areas were a little difficult for me during practice. And none of the free tests online had any questions on these subjects. To my surprise, I found PMP exam questions from these areas as well.

I originally bought this book over Rita's book because the other one was about 200 dollars. I thought if I am persistent enough to finish this book, I will buy Rita's. However, when I finished this one, I realized that this book covered most of the subject. In essence, this book delivers it's promise. (I have heard from everybody that Rita's book is also 5 star material and is excellent)

Finally, even if the certification is not immediately useful in your career, the PM knowledge you gain through preparing for this exam will be useful. So, if you are thinking of taking the exam, I would like to say, go for it! I wish you all aspiring PMPs good luck.

3.0 out of 5 stars Do not use it alone Nov 4 2006
By Marlboro
Format:Hardcover
This book gives you a great understanding of PMBOK, but I do not think it is enough for PMP exam. I just get my PMP week ago, and was using this book along with some other books and software. Obviously author is pumping up volume in the book, using a lot of transfer sentences. This book could be relying useful and compact (not more then 150 pages). The rest is just a wording about nothing.

Software that comes with a book is helpful, but none professionally maid (is really cheap). Additional (bonus) software package contain a lot of mistakes, it seems that author did not have a time for proper test and corrections.

Overall I would recommend having this book in the preparation set.

Good luck on your exsam

4.0 out of 5 stars The PMP Exam and Beyond Nov 14 2004
By Stuart Muir
Format:Paperback
This is a practical, easy to read PMP Exam study guide. Unlike other exam preparation books that are organized by Knowledge Area, Kim follows the project process flow from initiation to closing using a case study approach. The outline directly matches the process / objectives organization of the exam. The PMBOK(R) is organized by Knowledge Area, so supplementing your review of PMBOK(R) with an alternative approach that is easier to relate to real life project management is a good strategy. This is one prep book that I continue to use long after successfully writing the exam. I used this book and companion CD as the key source book for a PMP Exam preparation course I gave. My students agreed with my assessment of its value.
