Book Description

Release 1.3- Every question in this book is coming from the content of the PMBOK Guide. What makes CAPM Exam Practice Questions and Solutions different from other sample question books? The AME Group has designed the book with the goal of helping students obtain high exam scores. To achieve this goal, this book: * Is solely focused on the CAPM exam. Focus your time studying what is on the CAPM exam, not the PMP exam. * Includes not only a good description of why the right answer is right, but why the three wrong answers are wrong. You will get four times the learning from each question. Other books tell you the right answer, but do they really explain why the wrong answer is wrong? How many times have you understood that the right answer is good, but still not fully understood why your answer was wrong? In this book, there is as much focus on the wrong answers as on the right answers to set the record straight. * Provides references; every corect answer has a reference to the PMBOK Guide. How many times have you wanted to read more about the content of the question, in order to prepare for more exam questions similar or related to the topic, but have had no reference? * Focuses on the exam content, not on the topics of interest to the writers. Focus your time on studying what is on the exam--instead of what is not on the exam. * Grooms students to answer exam questions correctly by practicing test-taking strategies. See Part One for these strategies explained in detail along with sample questions using each of the techniques.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book was helpful, but far from perfect!, July 26, 2006

I purchased this book in anticipation of taking the CAPM exam. I told several of my co-workers about it as well because the concept seemed great - the study questions are aligned to the PMBOK Guide AND the answers show you why the correct answer is best.

I took and passed the CAPM exam today. Thank goodness I passed, or I would have been furious with the authors of this study guide. There are numerous, countless typos throughout the book. In some instances, the answers don't match the question AT ALL. It's completely different!
In other places, it will show that the correct answer is "b" for example. Then just below, where the explanations are written, the smiley face is next to a different answer choice.
Furthermore, there are basic simple typos and spelling errors.

I also felt that the guide contained a lot of "fluff". There were many study questions that have NOTHING to do with the PMBOK Guide and didn't help me prepare for the assessment.

There were so many errors that I started to doubt the usefulness of this guide. Now that I've completed the exam, I will say that it helps to see questions written in a similar format. Also, in studying this guide, I was able to go back and verify questions that I got incorrect or were in error in the book with the PMBOK Guide.
I plan on writing to the author as well. If the errors are corrected, I would feel better about giving this book a stronger recommendation.

This review is from: CAPM Exam Practice Questions and Solutions, Release 1.3 (Spiral-bound)

Weak in construction and content based on the $47.45 price tag. Within the first two sections of questions, I found typos & and at least one error. The book is usable for practice but certainly not the caliber it is advertised to be.

This book is definitely a good investment if you are planning to take the CAPM exam. The structure of the study guide such as the explanation of the right and wrongs answers helps you further your understanding of the material. The only complaint I have is that there are several typos in the answer sections.
