 Worth of this Book January 1, 2008
I used Dummies books for the MCSE in the past, so I thought I'd try this out. I passed my test but this book contributed in no way. Save your money and shop ESI for PMP prep materials instead.

This book is out of date and is not suitable for the current PMP certification.

I figured this book would be a good companion to the PMBOK, but it is a little dated (for previous exam) and there are some glaring errors and omissions in the text that made it hard to follow. I guess I was looking for lots of helpful hints, found only a few. The chapter tests are OK (one did not actually give the answers) so this gets a 3 out of 5.
 Not PMBOK 3rd Ed Aligned February 11, 2007

I bought this book last year when I started studying for the PMP. Buyer beware that this book is not based on the most recent PMBOK version and some of the information is incorrect. This book is OK for getting an idea of what the test may be like and the information covered, but it should not be used as an authoritative source of information. I even question if the the practice tests can be trusted since I have already found some of the answers to be wrong. At a minimum, get the latest PMBOK as well so you can see where there are differences.

The PMP (Project Management Professional) exam, based on the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), is by no means an easy test. Furthermore, it's importance overshadows its difficulty. What this book brings to the table is the 'For Dummies' style and treatment of the material. This style has been prepared carefully over many years and (I guess) thousands of titles.
My recommendation ...
Start with this book. Go through it twice. The first time go through it rather quickly so that you get an overall grasp of the material. Second, go through it more slowly to pick up the details that you skipped over before. Third work the practice test and other material that's on the CD.
After this, read the PMBOK.
Then get another, harder test preparation book, perhaps the Chu/Altwies/Walker book. Basically you'll have the background that you need from this book, and from the next book you get a dose of the same material but worded differently so that you'll see it from a different angle.
