Book Reviews of PMP Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide

Book Review: very sloppy and overly verbose
Summary: 2 Stars

I decided to withhold my review of this book until after I had taken (and passed) the PMP exam. For my test prep I used 3 resources:

1) An online SkillSoft PMP preparation course (free for me through the Army e-learning program).
2) Joseph Phillip's PMP Project Management Professional Study Guild (2nd ed).
3) This book, which I actually paid $89.95 for at Barnes&Noble.

I would highly recommend the SkillSoft course and Joseph Phillip's book to anyone studying for the PMP exam (and the SkillSoft course would cover your 35 hours of class time requirement).

This book, however, is useless as a study tool. The coverage of the material is overly verbose and confusing (not to mention the annoyingly arrogant tone of the author), and the questions on the 'bonus' CD are definitely NOT representative of what you will find on the actual exam. The questions (and answer choices) seem deliberately worded to mislead and some of the 'correct' answers are just plain wrong.

Save your money, there are much better resources out there.
