4.0 out of 5 stars Very portable but...duplicate material, May 12, 2007

My issue is that it was NOT clear from their product description here online that the 200 questions in here are a SUBSET of the ones in the software. This little factoid is noted on the very bottom of the first page of the book. Now, if you are not planning to buy the software, spending this kind of money for 1/7 of the questions is not a bad deal. However, if you had already bought or are buying the software as part of your exam prep plan, you will be wasting your money to buy this too. I wish I'd known before writing my name inside. I should have saved the money - hopefully I'll help you.

If you are NOT buying the software, but do have Rita's study guide, this little book is useful, because it does cross-reference the pages you need for clarification. If you miss a question, you can easily research your areas of weakness. So for this market segment (non-software buyers) this is a useful, worthwhile tool.

Portability - about the size of a stack 3/8" high of 3 x 5 cards.

Don't waste your money. There are other more useful products out there. I have been very dismayed by the CD (1 year limited use), study cards...these don't help with passing the test. Rita is clever on repackaging material from her original book. Don't fall into the trap!

I sat for my PMP exam in 2006 and used Rita's Pocket PMP Exam questions as part of my preparation for the exam. The more practice questions that you can do before the exam, the better will be your result. You have to do the questions as though you are working under exam conditions: no peeking at the text book or reference material; if you don't know the answer, you have to feel the anguish and try to work out the most likely answer. If you follow this approach, the correct answer is more likely stick in your memory when you are reviewing your answers afterwards.

I also used Rita's PMP Exam Prep (Course in a Book) and I would recommend all of her products to anyone planning to sit the exam. I passed the test on my first go.
