5An engaging, user-friendly book  Jul 25, 2006 By Elizabeth Lee
As a newcomer to project management, I was a skeptical about finding a book which would make the subject interesting and approachable. This book does both. Phillips's writing style is lively and engaging - he gives a sense of being with his reader every step of the way. Despite the fact that the book is more than 500 pages long, it is organized well and moves quickly. I was able to keep track of what I was learning through the summaries and key terms at the end of each chapter, along with the extensive glossary and appendix which condenses key ideas for the exam. The self-tests at the end of each chapter also allow the reader to interact with the text and practice what they've learned. After working through these, I felt well-prepared for the exam, as I found out from taking the practice version, included on the CD which comes with the book. Overall, the text is generous in what it offers for the price. It provides an effective, user-friendly approach to preparing for the PMP exam. Elizabeth Lee, Ph.D.

5Second Edition to Stay Up To Date  Apr 11, 2006 By John Matlock "Gunny"
This book is divided into two major sections:

The first section, chapters 1 - 3 give a broad fairly general overview of project management and how it pertains to the PMP examination. ==The second section consists of nine chapters, numbered 4 - 13, cover each of the nine knowledge areas that will be tested as part of the examination.

The overall basis for the PMP test is the PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge). That's a standard, and like most standards it is written to be precise and definite. That means it reads like a lawyer wrote it, absolutely correct and almost unreadable. Great for helping you go to sleep. This book, on the otherhand is written to help you understand what you need to learn for the test. Finally the book contains simulated exam questions that match the tone, format, topics and difficulty of the real exam.

In addition there is a CD supplied with the book that has a testing engine with a full practice exam to test yourself and the questions have detailed answers with explanations.

5This is 'THE' Roadmap to your PMP Certification  Jan 18, 2007 By Evelyn
Prior to my privilege of attending Mr. Phillips' Bootcamp class, I read the PMBOK on my own; too long, too hard, too BORING.

During his class however, we utilized this book, his book. It was an invaluable Roadmap right through the PMBOK. He breaks down that PMBOK into corresponding, comprehensible chapters. EVERYTHING is explained in simplistic terminology.

He also gets you into the test-taking 'mind set' by providing hundreds of questions (25 per chapter), & their answers, with explainations.

Bottom line, if you want 'PMP' AFTER your name, this book comes BEFORE the test. You will be totally prepared, and there will be no surprises.

4PMP Review  Aug 31, 2006 By S. J. Rovell
I have found this book and CD to be helpful in studying for the PMP exam as well as information about Project Management from a practical perspective. It is easy to read and well thought out.

It is well worth the money.

4Excellent PMP Exam Prep Study Guide  Oct 18, 2007 By Susan D. Ward
This book is the best PMP Exam Prep study guide I have found. It is packed with useful information, targeted directly at passing the PMP Certification exam. The practice exam questions are excellent, the explanation of the answers well written, and a reference to the PMBOK is included with each question. The book includes a CD with a full PMP exam (many similar books charge extra for this) and the ability to download a second exam for no additional charge. The book is much less expensive than others that offer not nearly as much. As a PMP certified project manager and instructor of PMP exam prep courses, I recommend it highly.
