Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-22 00:00:00 John Augello I know the test is changing on 1/11, so you probably won't be getting this version anyway, but I want to comment on it because I know they'll put out a new book. I passed the test yesterday on my first try, so it isn't a huge deal, but there were so many errors in this book, and it would be really easy to miss them. These aren't just typo errors, although there are plenty of those. It was major errors in the cram questions (little practice tests). Things like: "What is the first project management process group? A - Initiation, B - Planning, C - Executing, D - Monitoring and Controlling" and the answer would be "B. Initiation is the first group." Which, okay, if you're reading carefully, you can figure that out, but if you're just quickly looking, you might mistakenly believe that B - Planning was the right answer, and then miss that question on the exam. There were a couple that were very confusing, too because the answer explanation didn't directly give the answer, but defined the right answer, which was different than the answer they said it was.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-03 00:00:00 Sigalit Pearl Short and to the point. I really like the check your understanding section at the beginning of each chapter to help you see if how much of the chapter you can skim. There are some mistakes and repeated questions on the exam. Some of the questions also seem nonsensical and kind of weird. Definitely can't rely on this book for all your study and because there are a few mistakes, it makes me discount all of the book since I can't guarantee its quality. Stay away as it may lead you astray.
