 An engaging, user-friendly book July 25, 2006
Elizabeth Lee (Carlisle, PA)
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
As a newcomer to project management, I was a skeptical about finding a book which would make the subject interesting and approachable. This book does both. Phillips's writing style is lively and engaging - he gives a sense of being with his reader every step of the way. Despite the fact that the book is more than 500 pages long, it is organized well and moves quickly. I was able to keep track of what I was learning through the summaries and key terms at the end of each chapter, along with the extensive glossary and appendix which condenses key ideas for the exam. The self-tests at the end of each chapter also allow the reader to interact with the text and practice what they've learned. After working through these, I felt well-prepared for the exam, as I found out from taking the practice version, included on the CD which comes with the book. Overall, the text is generous in what it offers for the price. It provides an effective, user-friendly approach to preparing for the PMP exam. Elizabeth Lee, Ph.D.
Second Edition to Stay Up To Date April 11, 2006

This book is divided into two major sections:
The first section, chapters 1 - 3 give a broad fairly general overview of project management and how it pertains to the PMP examination. ==The second section consists of nine chapters, numbered 4 - 13, cover each of the nine knowledge areas that will be tested as part of the examination.
The overall basis for the PMP test is the PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge). That's a standard, and like most standards it is written to be precise and definite. That means it reads like a lawyer wrote it, absolutely correct and almost unreadable. Great for helping you go to sleep. This book, on the otherhand is written to help you understand what you need to learn for the test. Finally the book contains simulated exam questions that match the tone, format, topics and difficulty of the real exam.
In addition there is a CD supplied with the book that has a testing engine with a full practice exam to test yourself and the questions have detailed answers with explanations.
This is 'THE' Roadmap to your PMP Certification January 18, 2007

Prior to my privilege of attending Mr. Phillips' Bootcamp class, I read the PMBOK on my own; too long, too hard, too BORING.
During his class however, we utilized this book, his book. It was an invaluable Roadmap right through the PMBOK. He breaks down that PMBOK into corresponding, comprehensible chapters. EVERYTHING is explained in simplistic terminology.
He also gets you into the test-taking 'mind set' by providing hundreds of questions (25 per chapter), & their answers, with explainations.
Bottom line, if you want 'PMP' AFTER your name, this book comes BEFORE the test. You will be totally prepared, and there will be no surprises.
Great Study Guide for PMP Exam April 12, 2007
Marsha (Birmingham, AL)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I used this book and Paul Sanghera's Study Guide exclusively for studying for the PMP exam and passed on the first try. This book covers the nine knowledge areas with enough depth that you actually learn something rather than just memorize lists. You must to understand both the knowledge areas and process groups fully in order to pass the exam. Read this book first as it is easier to read than Sanghera's Study Guide. Then read Paul Sanghera's Study Guide to understand the ITTOs of the process groups as these are very important on the exam. Stay away from Rita's books unless you want to be convinced you will fail!
Best PMP Study Book on the Market December 21, 2007

This study guide is very easy to read and it prepares you 100% for the PMP exam. Prior to reading this book, I was in the dark about all that I needed to know to pass the exam. After reading it, passing the exam seemed much more achievable and straightforward.
The practice exams at the end of the chapters give you instant feedback on how prepared you are.
After reading this book and taking the practice tests over and over, you can take your exam with confidence.
