5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book -- helped me pass the test., May 19, 2008

This review is from: CAPM/PMP Project Management All-in-One Exam Guide (Kindle Edition)

The PMP Test is an experience in itself. It requires hours of studying and memorizing all the terms, processes, process groups, inputs, tools & techniques, outputs, knowledge areas, and Earned Value Management formulas. This book interprets the PMBOK language into understandable english. It also follows the PMBOK, chapter by chapter, section by section, so it's easy to read the PMBOK and then the book to see what the PMBOK is really trying to say. This was the only textbook I used for studying for the exam. What else can I say, but "I PASSED"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read and NOT Boring, June 19, 2008

This review is from: CAPM/PMP Project Management All-in-One Exam Guide (Hardcover)

Very helpful and insighful book. The explanations to the answers to the questions were really helpful. Also, the practice exams on the CD were a big help. Another part of the book that helps is the e-book. However, you can't print out the e-book unless you download .pdf software that will get rid of the non-printing restriction. A bit selfich, is you ask me. But I guess it's a good way to prevent people from reselling the content as a .pdf file.

I purchased this book in May of 2007 to prepare for my CAPM exam in August. I am happy to say that I passed the exam on my first try as a result of using this book. The practice exams are an excellent resource to prepare you to pass the CAPM. I plan on using this book when I sit for my PMP next year!
