Hot Topic easy way to revise while on road February 27, 2008
I found these audio CDs very useful since you can hear it anywhere anytime while driving. I in fact uploaded it into my iPod, so that I can listen to it anytime. It makes your remember all the definitions and basic concept.
I would highly recommend it to those who are preparing for PMP Certification.
 Very Helpful - Esp when you don't want to lug around the book February 16, 2008
I found this to be extremely helpful if you are a commuter. I would just take it with on the train / bus and even to work and quiz myself. The book is the meat of it and the flashcards are the seasonings! I think its a great addition to any study material. Just put it in your purse and whenever you have a free moment wherever you're at you can pull it out and quiz yourself. Good buy!

I passed the PMP exam on my first try weeks ago. I didn't attend any prep class. The only materials I used to prepare for PMP were three books and 1 CD I got here from Amazon. Besides, English is not my first language. So I guess I read slower than most exam takers.
Here is my comment for them:
- The PMP Exam: How to Pass On Your First Try, by Andy Crowe
I think this was the single most useful resource that helped me pass the exam. The content of it is well organized and self contained. It took me about 3 weeks to read it cover to cover. And after that, I felt much comfortable about the system of both PM process groups & knowledge areas. It was a pity that I did't really have time to re-read it before the exam or use the free 1 week online resource it provided. Or it should make my test experience easier.
Bottom line: HIGHLY recommend.
- PMP In Depth: Project Management Professional Study Guide for PMP and CAPM Exams, by Paul Sanghera
I bought this one simply because it got pretty good rating on Amazon, but I have to say it's pretty disappointing. First, the process group oriented approach to organize this book is a good try. It should be easier for most rookies to have a good idea about the big picture of PM. However, I don't think the author did a very good job on mapping processes in different knowledge areas with related process groups. Besides, this may be the first book I've ever read that goes with so many typos and mistakes. I really wonder if it has been edited or proofread before publishing.
Bottom line: NOT recommend.
- PMP Exam Quicklet: Project Management Professional Practice Exams, by Paul Sanghera
The same author as "PMP In Depth", thus it contains a lot of typos, too. In addition, I don't think those questions in this book will get you a good feel of the real exam questions, because at least 30~40% of them will be much more difficult. When I tried those questions in this book before exam at home, I could easily finish 200 questions in about 2 and half hours and got about 85% correctness. However, it took me more than 3 and half hours and a lot of guesses in the real test. Third, quite a few of the 540 questions in this book are repetitive.
Bottom line: Somewhat recommend.
- Hot Topics Flashcards for Passing the PMP and CAPM Exams (Audio CD),
by Rita Mulcahy (Author)
I spend more than one hour on public transportations everyday during weekdays. That's why I bought this CD. It is a nice review and memory enhancement if you don't mind listening to those boring stuff when you walk or drive.
Bottom line: Recommend.
- PMP Exam Prep: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam, by Rita Mulcahy
I did not buy this book, but based on my experience of using the "Hot Topics Flashcards" CD, I believe this should be a pretty good material for the PMP exam.
Bottom line: HIGHLY Recommend.
Overall, my suggestions would be :
1. You should expect to study intensively for 1 to 3 months to pass the exam. (It took me 3) If you plan to spend more than 3 months, you may forget what you study in the first beginning. Better to focus and get it done quickly.
2. Carefully study "The PMP Exam: How to Pass On Your First Try" & "PMP Exam Prep, Fifth Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam".
3. Do enough simulation questions (enough = at least 600 questions = 3 full set exams). Be sure to figure out the correct answers of those questions you got wrong.
4. Don't rely on PMBOK as your only resource for PMP preparation. There are some testing materials not even included in it, ex. organization & motivation theories.
5. Be sure to get enough sleep the night before exam. The real questions will be hard and require a very clear mind.
