 A Proven Study Guide Jun 17, 2006
By Kristine A. Hayes Munson
Planning on taking the PMP® or CAPM® exam in the near future? The most important choice you'll need to make is what materials to study to be adequately prepared. The first book you must select for your studying is PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition. The second book I recommend is Achieve PMP® Exam Success by Margaret Chu, Diane Altwies, and Edward Walker.
For years, the PMI-Orange County (CA) chapter has successfully relied on the combination of the PMBOK® Guide and Achieve PMP® Exam Success as the only two texts used to help our membership prepare to take the PMP exam. We have proven this new edition in the classroom. It continues in the tradition of excellence by integrating the PMBOK Guide and other recognized project management expert sources into its text and, more importantly, into the practice questions provided.
Chu, Altwies, and Walker recognize that adult students learn by doing. Students must practice test taking. The book and accompanying CD-ROM contain over 800 practice exam questions. The materials provide students with an opportunity to take a pre-assessment, a sample exam after each chapter, a post-assessment, and simulated timed four-hour exams. The answers provided for each question reference the appropriate PMBOK Guide section for students to review concepts with which they may be struggling. Take the practice exam questions often throughout your study process.
Besides the many practice questions, the book provides students with an opportunity to complete many hands-on learning experiences through creating project documentation for the Lawrence RV Garage Project. I strongly encourage each student to complete every hands-on exercise. These exercises will prepare you for the story problems found on the exam.
Chu, Altwies, and Walker also realize that an essential part of exam preparation is rote memorization of key project management terms as defined in the PMBOK Guide. The downloadable flashcards are thorough. The downloading process is simple and very user friendly.
Finally, Achieve PMP® Exam Success contains many tips and tricks on how to prepare for the exam. The study tips are clearly based on the years of experience that the authors have in preparing students to take the PMP exam.
I strongly recommend Achieve PMP® Exam Success. It contains all the elements necessary for students to pass the PMP exam - integration with the PMBOK Guide, hands-on learning experiences, clear definition of key terms, and exam taking tips. Best wishes for your PMP exam success!

The Best Approach I've seen Nov 17, 2005
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
This book is designed to be used side by side with the PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide. The Guide is, of course, the official and formal word. Reading/studying it is another matter. Having the two next to each other allows an understandable 'plain English' description of what the official language says to present two versions, two wordings of the critical points to come across and perhaps to stick.
This is the third edition of this book, and it matches the PMBOK third edition, commonly called PMBOK Guide 2004. The changes in the PMBOK Guide became integrated into the PMP Exam in September of 2005.
Along with the book comes a CD-ROM with over 800 practice exam questions which simulate the full PMP test. The post-assessment tests and answers help evaluate your progress and readiness for the exam. Finally the publisher makes available a specialized web site to provide further exam preparation materials.
The approach used in this book is better than that I've seen in any other prep manual.

Help in Passing the PMP Exam is Here Jun 08, 2006
By Eugene R. Miller
I found "Achieve PMP Exam Success" to be very beneficial in studying for the PMP Exam! All the exercises and practice questions were especially helpful. It provides a foundation for learning and structure to your exam preparation, thus saving you study time. It certainly is a more friendly read than the PMBOK guide, and it offers insights that the PMBOK does not offer.

The other 30% May 18, 2006
By Frank P. Reynolds
I've prepped PMP instructors to teach & have myself taught PMP PREP workshops for 3 PMI chapters. I've used the initial & the 3rd editions successfully. Both editions handling of the 30% of the material not covered in the PMBOK underscores the excellence of this book.

They have done it again. Jan 30, 2006
By M. Felsted
I used "Achieve PMP Exam Success, 2 Edition" to help me prepare for and pass PMI's PMP certification test.
Margaret Chu, Diane Altwies, and Ed Walker have done it again, with "Achieve PMP Exam Success, 3ed Edition" they have updated this great supplement to the PMBOK. Where I found this guide to be greatest value to me was in helping me to study in groups and by myself.
I took a PMP Prep class sponsored by a local PMI chapter. I worked in study groups with classmates I met in the prep class. In preparation for the study groups I would read both the PMBOK and "Achieve PMP Exam Success" I would then use the questions at the end of each chapter to quiz myself and my classmates.
For me I found success in taking a prep class, studying with others; studying for the PMP test, and reading through both the PMBOK and "Achieve PMP Exam Success"
Good luck in your quest for your PMP
