The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try Book

I used this book to supplement Rita Mulcahy's book. Although Crowe's book was outdated at the time I read it (old version of PMP exam), most of it was still relevant. Crowe is great at describing the inputs, tools and outputs of each process. His book is concise, and easy to read and comprehend. There are questions about each knowledge area at the end of each chapter and a full-length exam at the end. I did not try the full length exam, since I ran out of time studying, but it's definitely nice to have to use this book as a more comprehensive study book. Mulcahy's book, on the other hand, did not have a full-length exam. For those studying, read the study book through once and do the test questions. If you have time, use multiple books to get different ways of learning the same topics. Find any other resources to do as many questions as possible. It'll give you a good idea of how you need to think through the questions. The answers are not always straightforward and often times, there seem to be multiple correct answers (but still only 1 best answer). I'd definitely recommend Crowe's book for those studying for the PMP exam.
