Review: I have just passed the PMP Exam... - My experience on PM duties is about 4 years now so I was in need of formalizing it, the best way is earn a PMP certification. Actively working and with family duties (two kids) present a real challenge to find spare time in order to attend any bootcamp or even paying for it. So self pace learning was my choice. Of course, everyone recommends Rita's book PMP Exam Prep, Seventh Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam so I bought it, also, looking at reviews I decided to buy the Flash Cards from Andy Crowe's book The PMP Exam: Flash Cards (Test Prep series) . Then as I have the Kindle I went for these: PMP Certification, A Beginner's Guide (Certification Press) , Q&A's for the PMBOK® Guide Fourth Edition and this one (Second Edition!)... With that material at hand, I went to PMI web page, formalized my application to earn PMP certificate and settled the CBT exam date for 2 1/2 months later, just to put me a "reasonable" deadline (3 months would have been better). Then I started studying in preparation for the exam. The amount of information covered by the PMBOK® is huge and the right order of processes, concepts, input, tools and techniques, outputs of each are important to pass and they need to be learned. The fun part of my plan was is that I started with Flash Cards, I reviewed all of them just once, then I started to read the Beginner's Guide (A really good book), I confess I put the Kindle to read for me several times in order to finish the Beginner's Guide, then I started with Q&A's book just to find out what my performance was (lower than required). Then I started with Rita's book, I advanced about 15% of the book and then almost by accident, thanks God!, started to read in parallel Head First PMP - Second Edition, boy I loved the book - it hooked me up, it has an strange style but really effective, not boring, full of examples, images and tests for progressive self-assessment. I finished it two days before the exam date and then I reviewed the PMI's PMBOK® Guide Fourth Edition focusing on the Ethics part (No time for any other thing). I passed, thanks to God!. My advise is that 4 hours on exam are very very exhausting so don't forget to sleep well the night before and be relaxed when actually get seated to take it! (And put all the EVM formulas on the sheet you are given first before reading the first question on the exam). If I could change something to my plan would be read the Head First PMP - Second Edition book in FIRST PLACE. Review: Best PMP book out there - This is the only PMP-related book that you need to pass the certification exam. It taught me EVERYTHING that I needed to pass. I got my official training hours via [...] and did NOT take one of those 4-5 day training classes. After reading Head First PMP, I was a little scared, so I bought Andy Crowe's "The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try". That book was a good review, and it boosted my confidence, but I didn't need it. Andy Crowe's book was well-written and easy-to-read, but it didn't "teach" me the subject matter. Head First PMP "taught" me the subject matter. I was an experience PM at the time, but knew NOTHING (literally) about the PMBOK before reading the book. I didn't buy "Rita's Book", perhaps because of the hype. I can't say if her book is good. I've since bought 3 Head First books and my co-workers have bought dozens of them. I'm currently studying Head First Design Patterns with 5 colleagues. I'm using Head First SQL to teach a class to 2 colleagues. I am reviewing Head First PMP with a Project Manager at work to help her pursue the PMP certification. I'm periodically reading Head First Excel, because I was tired of being embarrased that I'm a software developer / PM and didn't know how to use Excel. They are GREAT books. I recommend them all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,006,895 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #324 in PMP Exam #2,093 in Software Design & Engineering #2,564 in Education Assessment (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 187 Reviews | ## Images ![Head First PMP: A Brain-Friendly Guide to Passing the Project Management Professional Exam - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510+33awEwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have just passed the PMP Exam... *by H***S on September 30, 2012* My experience on PM duties is about 4 years now so I was in need of formalizing it, the best way is earn a PMP certification.

After reading Head First PMP, I was a little scared, so I bought Andy Crowe's "The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try".

I recommend them all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good starter book on the subject... *by M***S on June 7, 2013* I've done project management for several projects large and small over the course of my career and for years had always put off taking the PMP certification exam because so many people said it was impossible to pass. After reading this book, I can honestly say I understand PM, have stopped listening to 'those' people and have my exam scheduled for the end of this month. Don't get me wrong, I signed up for a boot camp and used the PMBOK extensively in my studying, but would not have had the courage to move forward if I didn't have this book. It explained, in everyday language, the processes and knowledge areas needed to pass the exam. And they give pratical examples of using those processes, so you don't just memorize, you really understand the concepts behind them. From now on I will direct anyone thinking of taking the PMP to this book as a starter. Even if they don't take the exam, it's good to know and easy to digest. The only issue is a lot of the graphics were illegible on my Kindle, so many of the handwritten notes (while helpful) were killing my eyes when I tried to read them. One other thing, who ever was in charge of quality when converting the book into Kindle format dropped the ball on a few other editing items. Misspelled words, some of the practice tests at the end of the chapters listed numbers not letters, one test missed an entire question (#23 in Scope), in the chapter on Integration it states 44 processes (there are 42), you know, little stuff like that. But fixing the graphics issue would be a BIG help to future readers.
