4.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Tool, January 15, 2006

When I saw this book, I wasn't quite sure about it but figured I would try it. I used it to prepare for my CAPM exam and found it to be an invaluable tool to test my knowledge of the PMBOK. Using this guide in conjunction with reading the PMBOK really helped ensure my success on the CAPM exam. I have since recommended it to others as part of their study.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for PMP, February 21, 2007

Be warned that it doesn't contain the same type of situational questions that you will find in the PMP test. While these simple questions about concepts in the PMBOK might help you to practice for the CAPM test, the author doesn't even claim that the book will help you prepare for any test.

I bought this little book because I wanted to practice a little more, and because it was on sale. I finished it in less than two hours and never touched it again. A 100% success rate with these easy questions doesn't mean that you are prepared to pass the PMP test.

4.0 out of 5 stars Execellent Resource, July 8, 2007

By 

Chad Shea - See all my reviews

This review is from: Q & A's for the PMBOK Guide (Spiral-bound)

This is an excellent resource that will help you understand and review several concepts in the PMBOK Guide. The only problem is that the answers provide quotes from the PMBOK Guide and no explanations. The questions are simplistic: may be good for the CAPM exam, but not for the PMP exam.
To prepare for the PMP Exam, I used the PMP Exam Quicklet by Paul Sanghera, which contains very realistic questions.
