A guide to PMP exam preparation. Learn faster, retain more and pass the PMP exam. The "PMP Exam Master Prep" manual covers the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition content in a different but more logical way. It follows the content by Process Group rather than by Knowledge Area. In this way, you will be able to follow the content more like how a project executes, helping you make important connections between processes and process inputs, outputs and tools & techniques. This book provides other unique approaches to helping you learn and retain the information necessary to pass the PMP exam. You will have an opportunity to follow "John" on his project management journey through 25 life-like case studies. The case studies engage your understanding and interpretation of the project management processes and their ITTO. Each case study is followed by questions to help you make connections with these concepts. You will also get nearly 200 condensed and distilled "Master Points" that will call out critical pieces of information throughout the book. Also included is a full set of 200 simulated exam questions with an answer key and correct response feedback. If you're looking to pass the PMP exam and want to learn and comprehend rather than perform rote memorization then the PMP Exam Master Prep manual is the book for you.
This book is short compared to other preparation books like Rita's. There are some mistakes like the name of the process of control stakeholder engagement is monitor stakeholder engagement. A wrong answer at the simulated exam as well (the feedback does not match the highlighted option, the question about Tuckman ladder). There's little explanation about contract types, I think procurement and risk areas can be explained in a better way. I don't like the suggested method for EVM as well. But at the end, this book really summarizes the needed knowledge in 300 pages.
Most of this book is an advertisement for his e-course. Plus it is him just playing the audio for the videos from his e-course then him telling you that you should go buy it.
I did enjoy the case study. It helped put things together but it’s hard to get past him talking about how great he is.
It's a nice book. I read about it on one of the blogs, so I was curious and got this on Kindle. It uses case study method and follows process group in the order instead of knowledge areas which other PMP books use. I would highly recommend the book.
Many spelling and grammatical errors throughout, and not written in a very professional manner. Also whole practice test is missing from the end of the book. Apart from the modicum of usefulness in reviewing the processes by process group instead of knowledge area, overall this book was a waste of time and money.
