Summary: This book was my key to passing the exam
Comment: I used the PMBOK, this book (the "Rita Book"), PMP for Dummies, and some ESI materials. In the end, I would say that it is this book + the PMBOK that helped me pass the exam the most. The Dummies book and the ESI materials were nice to present a couple of different viewpoints, but Rita's book is the best overview of the exam and provides the best description of what to expect in the exam room itself.
I didn't take a prep class. I didn't buy the $250 set of Rita CD's. I read the PMBOK a couple times, read the Rita book twice cover to cover, took a couple of online exams (free ones), went back and reread my weak areas, and went and scored 91% on the test. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill and spend thousands on this exam. Get this book and one or two other materials (just to keep things fresh) and you will be fine.

Summary: Surprisingly effective!
Comment: First things first, I passed the PMP certification exam! I did not take any classes or workshops, I relied exclusively on the PMBOK, the 'PMP Exam Prep' by Rita Mulcahy, her practice CD, and the thick and not-so-effective 'Project management - a systems approach to planning, scheduling, and controlling' by Harold Kernzer. I have to admit that when I first received the pricey 'Exam Prep' I was disappointed by its format (amateurish) and what seems to be, at the time, shallow content. I also felt that the sample questions were scarce and essentially designed to lure you into buying the practice CD. However as I started to study for the PMP exam I felt that the book was very effective and a much needed complement to the PMBOK. It went straight to the point, told you what was important to memorize and what was not, and gave you tricks. It rapidly became my 'cliff notes' for the PMBOK and was instrumental in helping me pass the exam. Bottom line it found that the book was surprisingly effective and despite its high price tag, it ended up being worth every penny. I would stronly recommend it to anyone who is preparing for the PMP exam.

Summary: overhyped
Comment: This is a good list but far overpriced considering the alternatives. Try Phillips!
