Useless, its waste of money. nothing much useful information. I returned the book. Got better information in google itself.

This book has nothing to do with the SAP HR Certification. The description of the book is misleading amazon buyers.
I can't find the words to describe the book, 75 questions to summarized all SAP HR! and some of the answers are just a SAP Note Number!!.
Amazon, please remove "SAP HR Certification Review" from the title, you are lying to your customers.

I was under the impression that this book should help in the HCM certification. It did not. Was a waste of my money.

My friend bought this in amazon and shipped me to India at a total cost of US$98.
Shocked to see the content. oh my God....
The book has only one intention 'Make hay while the sun shines.." . mNo sincerity in bringing out a good book.
Think twice b4 buying books which are not giving access to their few pages to judge.

Horrible! This book is a result of the constant flood of "what are some interview questions for (insert SAP module here)?" questons on the SCN/SDN forums. These questions are largely posed by lazy people wanting an easy "in" to the SAP world. On the other side, people respond with copy-pasted lists of questions and answers culled from other similar/same posts in order to get easy "points". It's a never ending, sad cycle. And now, here's a book that just collects all the same posts and tries to make a buck. Save yourself time and money.....visit SAP's own site and do REAL research to prepare for interviews and certification.

The only thing about this book i found useful is the section about transaction codes and tables, but internet is a better tool. The main section is absolutely useless.

The substance of this book is not good enough for its title.

First, and frankly the most important thing to understand about interview questions books is that they help you save time. These books help you understand what deserves your attention and further reading, and what does not. These books help you understand what you need to learn, and what you can safely ignore. As an SAP consultant you can spend several hours each week, if not every day, learning about SAP. It is a major part of being an SAP person (especially a good one), and anything that you can do to reduce the amount of time you spend simply learning is very valuable to you. When you're spending time reading and not billing at a client, it can cost you about $100 each hour. That's expensive reading time! And so why would you even think twice about the cost of a $50 book if you think it will help you learn something valuable that you can apply at your job.

Second, the SAP market is evolving. It is evolving in ways that demand SAP people understand more about the product we are working with - It's not uncommon to see requests for an "MM and SD" functional consultant these days. Also, in my consulting practice, I am focusing on SRM - but each day I am called upon to talk about MM, PP, PS, and other areas in SAP. I think that clients are less and less willing to hear, "Well that's a FICO issue - or that's an MM issue."

Finally, I use these books myself. Each time I'm asked a question that stumps me, and this happens all of the time (despite what my clients may think), I turn to my own books as a reference. A couple of weeks ago someone asked me a question about a work order in PM. As an SRM consultant, I had little exposure to work orders. So I grabbed my PM Interview Questions book, looked up work orders in the index, and the EXACT question someone asked me was answered in the PM book. So the SAP Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations series of books help save SAP people time because they show you what is important to learn, and I believe they help greatly in cross training - and so that's what these books are all about. They will save you time, and give you more knowledge about the SAP product. And the only group of people that don't want that to happen are consultants who want to keep their skills a secret!

For a comprehensive guide, get the SAP PRESS title - this is summary mateiral which would be good to gain a quick understanding of the material. Does include some nice reference materials.
