 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!!!
 Confusing and contradictory September 24, 2008
I just passed the PMP exam, but little credit goes to this book. I found the book's questions & answers to be confusing, contradictory, and plagued with personal opinions vs. objective references to the PMBOK. For example, questions 15 & 20 in the HR chapter are plain wrong when describing PM's "referent" power.
I'm glad I took a 4-day PMP exam prep class and used PMBOK's Q&A book with 200 practice questions. For the best use of your time, learn the PMBOK content by taking a reputable exam prep class. The hardest part of the exam is answering 200 questions in a row - make sure you practice that aspect before the real thing. An exam prep class followed by 3 or 4 days of practice questions is the quickest way to get your PMP.
 Comments are unnecessary September 23, 2008
Rita Mulcahy is Rita Mulcahy.
No comments. Simply the best book to take information for certification.
Rita tells you HOW you should prepare for the PMP Exam September 20, 2008
Rita's course provides an additional perspective to prepare you for the PMP Exam. While the PMBOK tells you what to know for the test, Rita's book tell's you HOW to prepare for the test, including activities and exercises to get you comfortable with how the test designers think. Along with PM experience and the PMBOK, it is a good tool to improve the effectiveness of PMP Exam preparation efforts.
Rita's PMP Exam Prep Book September 18, 2008
It does help you understand the PM BOK. It is better than Andy Crowe's, in that more detail is provided. Her questions are good.
The issues with Rita's book are:
1. Rita departs from PM BOK's matrix (PM Processes vs Project Life Cycle).
2. Rita incorrectly states PM experience keeps one from scoring well on the questions. I strongly disagree. Not reading the PM BOK 2-3 times (or not knowing the PM BOK matrix) keeps one from scoring well on the questions.
