2.0 out of 5 stars Too many typos and factual mistakes, February 8, 2007

This review is from: PMP Exam Cram 2 (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is okay for a secondary (or tertiary) review tool, but only if you've done your real studying with a better study guide, such as PMP In Depth by Paul Sanghera. Exam Cram 2 (2nd edition) has enough factual mistakes (such as referring to "the five knowledge areas" of "initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing," when these are actually process groups, and there are nine, not five knowledge areas) that I don't completely trust the other information I'm reading. Another example is that this book sometimes uses the terms "process tool" and "process input" interchangeably, although they are completely different concepts under PMI. And one potential answer to a test question about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs was "self acquisition," which I think was a spellchecker's attempt to correct a misspelled "self actualization."

1.0 out of 5 stars Full of errors - find another guide, July 3, 2008

By 

Shawn Brock "vbslinger" (Fairborn, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PMP Exam Cram 2 (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is simply horrible. I can forgive the occasional typo or poorly worded sentence, but there are multiple parts of this book that are inaccurate. I guess in a way it helped me study because I would read something and then say "um... that sounds wrong" and look it up online or in the PMBOK and find that it was wrong - so all the extra research correcting its errors helped.

The publisher should be ashamed.

I tried three books getting ready for the PMP.

The Rita Mulcahy book was the best by a long shot. The "Head First PMP" was a distant second, but for a "visual learner" I found that I really remembered the financial sections form Head First over Rita Mulcahy.

The Exam Cram tests were not even close to the PMP exam I took, and the book was poorly writting. A waste of money. You would be better surfing the net for PMP exam tips than reading this book.

Or by Rita Mulcahy's books and pass the exam.
