Customer Reviews

very well written book4
This book is very well writen. You feel like you are in a real classroom. The author has a very good sense of humour.

Excellent Source4
Passed Exam on Saturday using Kim's study guide as a single source. Great real world scenarios that help with understanding the material. PC Flashcards were very helpful along with the audio chapter reviews.

Passed the Test4
I passed the PMP test on the first go with this study guide. I really found the audio recaps of the chapters very helpful. I put them on CD and listened to them on my commute. I also liked the process group organization. There were only 4 questions on my PMP test that were not covered at all by this book...so 98% coverage is pretty good.

This book does not hold your hand very much however. If you are looking for more than just an overview of subjects line Earned Value and Critical Path Method, then you may want to get another study guide. I had exposure to these subjects before, so this book was just the review I needed. But someone who is seeing them for the first time may want a deeper treatment.

Overall, this book was a great "one stop shop" for my exam prep.
