 not good for preparing for PMP exam, try something else October 9, 2008
this book is very confusing and hard to understand. It is written from a scientific point of view. I used an exam simulation program at pmsimulation.com and passed the PMP exam. This worked so much better than studying from a book.
Buy this but also get Head First PMP: A Brain-Friendly Guide October 8, 2008

Rita does a great job with this book. But it is apparent she is not a teacher. Her many arrogant statements will have you putting the book down for a while, so you can cool off and then get back to trying to learn the material.
Her exam samples are great, but her explanations leave you wondering where the logic came from.
Buy this but also get Head First PMP: A Brain-Friendly Guide to Passing the Project Management Professional Exam (Head First). Head First is a much better teaching guide an facilitates the learning process much better.
Good luck...

Passed PMP exam on my first try (yesterday) with help of this book.
[My friend had recommended me Rita's book]
How did I prepare:
> Did three readings of this book. Two through readings and on the third reading I focused only on the areas I market earlier for review.
> Referred to PMBOK (page numbers as indicated in Rita's book).
> Did test questions at the end of each chapter and spend time studying those areas where I got answers wrong.
> Memorized Mapping of project management processes to the project management process groups and the knowledge areas. (Table 3-45, Page 70 PMBOK 3rd edition).
> Memorized formulas suggested by this Book.
Well worth every penny! September 29, 2008

I purchased this book on the advice of a colleague when they head I was taking a PMP Bootcamp class in prep for taking the exam. Rita strongly suggests you read the book at least twice (which I did) and used again as a study guide after I completed the 40 hour PMP Bootcamp Class. If you want to understand 'context' and where/how process and knowledge areas fit together together THIS is the book to read!!!
