 PMP Exam Prep September 3, 2010
CDR Kenneth M. Olson (Leesburg, VA United States)
This serves as the current best PMP Exam Prep reference available. With Rita's passing last 15MAY10, I'll will watch closely to see if her husband, Tim and the team at RMC, keep up with the latest evolutions of the PMBOK in future revisions. Reading the: 1) "PMBOK" (twice), the 2) "PMP Certification Mathematics" book, along with 3)"PMP Exam Prep," will provide you with all of the resources you need to pass the PMP exam on your first attempt. I have found no need to attend any of the expensive courses which basically are only overviews of the PMBOK in lieu of a needed PMI PMP Exam development and strategy course. PMI does use a very specific question development strategy which they don't share with PMP Exam Prep course developers, so you'll get just as much prep out of these three text books and save a lot of money as well. The internet has plenty of free practice exams available, so if you put in your study time, about 2 hours a day for 90 days, you should be scoring 80%, or better, on the practice exams then your more than ready to pass the exam. Good luck! It is one of the few recognized professional certifications worth the effort!
Great Resource! August 31, 2010

This is a fantastic resource for those wishing to study, learn and prepare for the Program Management Professional exam. Even if you are not preparing for the exam but just want to review the PMP guidelines or broaden your learning this is a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about or actually preparing to take the exam,or just wanting to learn a new skill.
This is what you need August 30, 2010

Best way to study for the PMP exam August 24, 2010
T. Denson (Pennsylvania)
This book was recommended by a friend who has passed the PMP exam. I had access to other books and put off ordering the book while I was reading the other books -- big mistake. I should have ordered this one first.
The other books basically mirrored the content of the PMBOK guide with a few explanations about the terminology and summaries of the intent of the content.
This book takes a totally different approach - that being a view from the Project Managers side and how the work that a PM does is reflected in the PMP exam. Instead of telling you what the PMBOK guide contains, Rita explains what you, as a PM, should already be doing and how what you are doing relates to the exam and to the PMBOK guide. The exercises are not exercises in memorization (although I'm finding that memorization of Rita's Process Chart is helping) but rather exercises in how, as a PM, you should be doing things. In the first 100 pages I've read several times that if a topic is unfamiliar to the reader then the reader should re-examine his readiness to even be thinking about taking the exam. Each topic leads the reader into the next topic, explaining what the purpose of the topic is and how it relates to the next topic. The next topic then relates the previous topic and expands.
I am finding the questions at chapter end to be "real-world" in nature with PMI guidelines emphasized.
Although I am using the book in preparation for the exam, I can see this book being on my bookshelf as a reference for years to come.
 PMP Exam Prep, Sixth Edition: Rita's Course is good enough August 21, 2010
Abosede O. Ogunnaike (USA)
I used Rita's book and passed the PMP exam at the first try. I did not use any other book or exam simulation software. Just this book.
I read Rita's book in full twice taking the end of chapter tests after completing each. For the third time, I read only chapters that I did not do too well after I took end of chapter tests.
I cannot compare this book to any other as that does not matter. All I can tell you is that 3 months preparation reading the book enabled me to pass PMP.
If you find the book easy reading then go ahead and buy it. You will pass.
