Review: Great Book - Helped me pass the PMP on the first try! - I just successfully passed my PMP Exam on the first attempt. It took me four months to achieve this goal once I set my mind to seriously preparing for it. Keep in mind, that I was randomly selected for PMI's 20% Audit of my application, so this added about 2 months to my prep time. I cleared the audit with no issues, but it did take time due to the process. This book is the single biggest reason that I was able to pass on the first try, and I strongly recommend using it as your primary source for preparation. Each chapter corresponds to a chapter in the PMBOK 5th Edition, so I would read each chapter in Rita followed by the PMBOK Chapter. Once I completed each set of chapters in the 2 books, then I would move onto the next chapter. I would highlight key concepts in both books as I read them. Once I made the first run through each book, I went back through Rita again, and answered each of the review questions at the end of each chapter. I also reviewed each corresponding chapter of the PMBOK, but focused on the key concepts' that I previously highlighted only in both sets of books. I also purchased the corresponding Rita Flash Cards and reviewed these when I had a few minutes of down time at my Kids' soccer practices or on my lunch hour. This reinforced the concepts in the Rita Book and PMBOK. Finally, I took 4 x full length practice tests and answered a total of about 2,000 practice questions (using PMP apps on IOS that you can purchase at a reasonable price) prior to the exam. 4 days prior to the exam I went through my highlighted areas in each Rita Chapter again. 2 x days before the test, I took a full length practice test (one of the 4 I previously mentioned). The day before the test, I went through the flash cards again. All of this helped me successfully pass. I spent no more than 2 hours per day studying due to job and Family constraints. Plus, after 2 hours, i would lose focus. The bottom-line is that this is a very difficult test, and you must thoroughly prepare or you will fail. However, this book is great focal point for your preparation, and if you follow it and thoroughly prepare, then you should be able to pass on the first try. I use this book regularly in my job as a good reference.
Review: Get this book - I passed the PMP exam last week (first try) and I don't believe I would have passed if I hadn't used this book. It is very well written and was super helpful. Some background, I have 20+ years of experience managing software development projects of all sizes and complexities and would consider myself a highly experienced project manager. I've learned how to deal with all manner of issues. I wanted to get the PMP credential to add to my resume. The PMP exam does not test you on your real-world experience, however. It tests you on how well you understand the principles and practices that are documented in the PMBOK. This is key to understand. It is a BEAST of an exam. 200 questions in 4 hours with, what felt like, trick questions sprinkled throughout. Each question is multiple choice and many of them have four very valid answers as choices. You need to learn how to answer the questions the way the PMI expects you to answer them. They have a very specific and rather rigid way of expecting project managers to approach the process of managing projects. And, this is where Rita's book came in. She makes it clear what the PMBOK expects a PM to do. She explains the various process groups really well and provides many tips and hints on what to expect on the exam. I had already taken a PMP class and took about 3 months to read the PMBOK, a few hours a week. In the last two weeks before the exam I studied Rita's book, reading a chapter a night. The weekend before the exam I took a full practice test and memorized formulas and definitions. There are a lot of practice questions in the book and these were also really helpful, although, I found her questions to be easier than the exam questions. (Again, this exam is rough.) I would have liked more practice questions but fortunately had some from my PMP class. As for the exam itself, in my case, the majority of the questions were situational ("what should you do next if xxxx has happened"). These are tricky since you need to answer the way the PMP expects which is not necessarily what you would do at your company. There were probably less than 8 questions (out of 200) that required any math or memorization of a formula and NO network diagram questions. I had memorized all the formulas and how to calculate critical path and float, per Rita's guidance, but that didn't turn out to be required, at least on my exam date. That was disappointing since these are the easier questions. However, I passed. Phew! This book really helped.

イープロ●ェクト、パーフェクトマスター、虎の巻などの問題集をやったが、不合格。 問題集と本番試験がかけ離れている為、勉強し直しを決意してRita本購入。 Rita本を読みつつ、PIMBOKで内容を確認を徹底しました。（合格） 本番試験は日本の問題集のように直接的な問題とはなってないですね。
