3.0 out of 5 stars CAPM / PMP Book by Andy Crown 99.9% Identical, October 29, 2007

By	Vincent Pfiefer "[e-mail]" (GA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would recommend this book for passing the CAPM but if you want a higher score don't buy the CAPM book but rather the PMP book offered by Andy Crowe. The books are 99.9% the same. The PMP expands on some examples that you are tested on within the CAPM exam. For instance , the Network flow diagrams are covered more by example in the PMP book rather then in CAPM Book. These were required on the exam. I have completed the CAPM and I am now looking forward to obtaining the PMP credential. My advice : Buy one book and read some of the extra 20-35 pages of extra material and be better prepared for the exam. If your eventually looking forward to taking the PMP or are looking for a better study guide this book isn't for you.

Regards,
VP,CAPM

4.0 out of 5 stars I passed on my first try!, February 6, 2007

By	I. Rodriguez "NonFiction buff" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to say that this book could have saved me over $2000 in a Project Management class that I took. I came out of there completely lost after 5 days of unfamiliar terms and concepts. This book made things so much clearer. The author speaks as though he is conversing with you and not lecturing. I poured through every page for about 1.5 weeks. It was not easy, but it did give me the tools to pass the exam. At the end of the book, it is VITAL that if you intend to take the exam, you have to use the 2 week trial of the Insite simulation exam online. THis was another tool that allowed me to pass the test. Great book, great resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - You Won't Regret This Investment!, December 18, 2006

By	TT "Tanya" (NE Georgia) - See all my reviews

I bought this book after reading the PMBOK Guide. I have to say it is very easy to comprehend, and the author gives some real-life scenarios. I also used every bit of the free 2-week trial session to InSite. I really enjoyed this book and it did contribute greatly to my PASSING THE EXAM on 12/16. I am so excited!!! As I have filed some other books away, the CAPM Exam book will be left in arms reach along with the PMBOK Guide. Thank you Andy Crowe!
