This review is from: PMP Final Exam Review (Paperback)

I wish I had read the reviews here before I bought this book and exam CD. I had studied with the Crosswind series of materials by Tony Johnson, including his simulation exam CD, and the Rita book. I wanted to validate with another exam simulation source that I really knew the material versus memorizing the answers. I thought this was a good value - 4 exams for $30.00. I found the questions long and extremely wordy and confusing. It blew my confidence. Thankfully another person in my study group assured me that the test questions were formatted similar to the questions on the Crosswinds exam CD. I discarded this CD and concentrated on the materials I had from Crosswind. The exam answers refer you back to the Sybex book for clarification. The Crosswind exam provides clear information on the answers and refers you to the page in the PMBOK if necessary. The Crosswind exam CD recaps by knowledge area what you need to concentrate on and you can retest by a specific area.

This review is from: PMP Final Exam Review (Paperback)

The questions in this book were insanely difficult. Utilizing this book is likely to depress you into not taking the PMP exam when you are more than prepared for it. I was unable to score above a 50% on any test in this book, but score an 82% on the test. I believe this proves the book is of little value or use, it's not testing you on the content of the exam.

This review is from: PMP Final Exam Review (Paperback)

The questions in this book are insanely difficult. If you can even get a passing mark on these sample exams you'll do just fine on the PMP exam. In my own case, I scored about 15 points higher on the actual PMI exam versus the 4 sample exams in this book.

If you have unfortunately purchased the book my recommendation is to focus on understanding why you got questions wrong, and for questions that you are unsure of but still guess correctly thoroughly understanding why the answer was correct.
