Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book specifically as a tertiary resource of practice questions for my PMP exam preparation. What a waste. First of all, the questions are taken, in some cases verbatim, in other cases rewritten inaccurately, from another source: "PMBOK Q&A. A Pocket Guide of Questions and Answers to Learn More About the Project Management Body of Knowledge" published by PMI. Nowhere in this book does it credit the PMI source material. Secondly, in at least 7 questions(pg 215 - #7, pg 217 - #19, pg 219 - #2, pg 233 - #12, pg 233 - #13, pg 235 - #20, pg 300 - #13) that I was able to document, the answers given are just plain wrong as verified by cross-checking both the PMBOK itself, and the "Pocket Guide" listed above. Thirdly, unlike the "Pocket Guide", this book doesn't give references to the sources of correct answers (which prabably explains why the answers are wrong) so that you can look up and study missed questions.Although I didn't read any of the preparatory materials in the front of this book, I would be very leery of them, based on the inaccuracies I found in the test questions. I would suggest to anyone who wants accurate and useful preparation materials, to use PMI published sources, take practice tests with the ESI materials, and take a good review course from your local PMI chapter.
