Details: After taking several online courses on the PMBOK, I chose this book over Rita. This is the best exam prep book I have read. Coming from a technical background, it's takes a great conversational writing style to keep my attention. This books is organized perfectly, covering everything you need to know. I valued the breakdown and rating of each section with relevance to the exam. Straight forward with many great tips.
I used the 20 questions at the end of each section to test my knowledge after reading. Three days before I took the exam, I used Crowe's 200 questions as my pre-test, then reviewed every single question right/wrong to understand the logic behind how PMI wants you to answer.
Eventually I did look through Rita's book and it has many good things. With the way I think and learn, I highly recommend the Andy Crowe's book out of the two. This is a top notch supplement to the PMBOK.
Great classes at: [...] Tony Swaim
Read, soak in, PASS on your first try, I did!

Review Summary: Excellent book, a complaint about Amazon's Shipping |

Details: No problem with the book, but why does every order from Amazon show up poorly packaged with at least some damage to the cover? Soft and hardcovers arrive with dents, dings, and creases on the binding and cover edges. Worst case I've had to return the books for replacement. Come on Amazon, how about improving your packaging? |

Details: I am very happy with this book. I had registered for a review course ($995), but the course was canceled due to low enrollment. I considered enrolling for another review course, but I thought I would give self-study a shot first.I read the PMBOK and it seemed as though I was reading a foreign language. This book was the only source I used other than the initial read of the PMBOK. I think I was more confused after that, but this book really helped. It wasn't an overly dry read, and it really seemed to key in on important issues that you face on the test. As the name states, I did pass the test on the first try, using only this book, and I saved $995 off the price of the review course I had registered for! I am so glad the course was canceled! I would highly recommend it if you have the time to study on your own and want to save $$$. Try this book! |
