 Overpriced & Overrated! Dec 20, 2005
By JustAFilmGuy
"JustAFilmGuy"
When I read the positive reviews of this book, I had to double-check to confirm that I was indeed rating the same book!
So, don't just take my word for it.
BEFORE you consider buying this book, I strongly suggest you FIRST find a copy in a bookstore and spend just ten minutes taking a good look at this book's contents, while SIMULTANEOUSLY comparing it chapter-by-chapter with the PMBOK. Then, decide if you want to pay $69.95 for this book. (Note: I passed the PMP with an 86% in September, 2005, after having studied for two months from almost all the PMP study guides, software exam simulation tools, and audio CD products on the market.) It is true that "Achieve PMP Exam Success" follows the structure of the PMBOK. It is also true that the authors provide very little in the way of substantive or insightful material beyond the contents of the PMBOK itself. I was appalled to find that these authors have actually filled much of this book's pages with outlines and line items taken directly from the PMBOK. How can they justify charging people $69.95 for material that they did not create? Further, the study questions in the book were more elementary than those in most other study guides, and likewise were too elementary for the questions on the actual PMP exam. Indeed, the ONLY thing in this book that I found especially valuable was the list of Mnemonic Memory Aids, that a reader can learn and modify to help with memorizing the Processes within the PMBOK's Nine Knowledge Areas.
In summary, of all the PMP Study Guides I purchased (and I purchased and used almost all of them), I would rate this as the poorest quality and the most overpriced.

 Excellent choice from the pack of many Mar 15, 2005
By Gail A. Nasman
"PMP Candidate"
I was advised by a business associate to buy this book. She said it helped her turn the PMBOK confusing information into something that made sense. She passed the test her first try. They also used it in the PMP Exam Certification class I just completed from PMI Orange County Chapter. The majority of my classmates preferred this book to others and used it to pass. I haven't taken mine yet but will next week and this book will definitely be a contributing resource for my passing the exam.

The Best, In My Opinion Apr 01, 2005
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
This book really has about three, maybe four advantages of the other books on taking the PMP examination.
1. This book covers both the PMP examination and the basic knowledge in the PMBOK. It is much more clear than the PMBOK documents.
2. This book presumes that it's been a while since you were in college and you may well have forgotten how to study, so it has some basic background "This is what you need to do" material.
3. The book contains a sample test (60 Questions). It also has a CD-ROM with 400 additional questions. It also has a dedicated web site that provides additional material.
4. It may be less expensive. I say may, because it's retail price is less, but it may be harder to find a discounted copy, that's because this is a newer/better book.
All three authors have taken and passed the test. They know what they are talking about.

 Released in 2005, Reference for PMBOK 2000 Aug 09, 2005
By Armando T. Neto
"Temporal"
As I was looking for an updated book to study form my PMP certification, I bought this one. I thought it was updated with PMBOK 2004 reference. In fact, the authors say there is a new version of the PMBOK (2004 one), but it is dedicated for those who want to study for the PMBOK 2000 examination. I did not look well the material as I returned the item without using it. Probably it could be good for those who are studying the 2000 examination (it ends on september 2005), but as we have a reference PMBOK from 2004 I suppose a book released in 2005 should be updated with this reference.

By V. Scalabrino
"media epigrammatist"
This book was the most helpful to me in my quest for PMP success. I found the practice questions in the book as well as on the CD, to be very helpful. BTW - I passed the exam.
