Review

Achieve PMP Exam Success was extremely helpful in my PMP exam preparation and it enabled me to achieve a high score. It is a great source to learn about project management and I would highly recommend it to anyone attempting PMP certification! ----Rahul Goka, PMP, Sr. Consultant, Deloitte Consulting LLP

Achieve PMP Exam Success provided the most relevant study material that I tried outside the PMBOK. I made extensive use of the CD-ROM by taking four full-length practice tests. My grades on the practice tests matched my successful grade on the actual PMP certification exam. -- --Teri Neubert, PMP, Boeing Engineer

Format:Paperback
Wonderful PMP Study Resource. We found this reference is the best in the market for the PMI-PMBOK PMP Exam Preparation. We have done thorough review and this book is up to the point, right to the core subject, no extra words and most importantly is PMI-PMBOK Fourth Edition. It is organized knowledge-by-knowledge area, and written in a simple English language right to understand and absorb from the first time. We strongly recommend this book for anyone who is interested to receive an added-on value PMP Exam studying materials; through its concise details, well-done explanations with examples and illustrations, case-study sections, and valuable challenging questions and answers. the companion CD is another great source of more challenging Q&A that can be utilized completely for practical assessment and final evaluation before attending the exam. Overall, it is a great work, which we have authorized to be delivered to all our PMP Exam Course participants.

Used this book as well as accompanying power points from the same company in a PMP prep class that I took. Had so many mistakes between the book and the slides that our instructor flat out apologized and by the end of the class, the PMI organization had decided to use another company for the instruction materials. If you already have this book, beware of the test questions at the end of each chapter. Those are the ones that are most usually wrong. Also, the general spelling and grammar errors are annoying. The instructional part of it is ok, but the test questions are written poorly with OBVIOUSLY wrong answers (at least as determine by three PMP instructors).
Head First PMP is waaay better. The eight students in our prep class all bought it and the instructor gave up and was teaching out of that book by the end of the course.

The best approach I've seen February 3, 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is designed to be used side by side with the PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide - 4th Edition. The Guide is, of course, the official and formal word. Reading/studying it is another matter. Having the two next to each other allows an understandable 'plain English' description of what the official language says to present two versions, two wordings of the critical points to come across and perhaps to stick.

This is the third edition of this book, and it matches the PMBOK third edition, commonly called PMBOK Guide 2008. The changes in the PMBOK Guide became integrated into the PMP Exam in July of 2009.

Along with the book comes a CD-ROM with over 1200 practice exam questions which simulate the full PMP test. The post-assessment tests and answers help evaluate your progress and readiness for the exam. Finally the publisher makes available a specialized web site to provide further exam preparation materials.

The approach used in this book is better than that I've seen in any other prep manual.
