July 18, 2009: This book was perfect for studying for the PMP Exam since it followed the PMBOK perfectly and dug in deep to those parts that are relevant to the exam. I did not study for the time frame recommended, so I bought this book hoping it would assist me and focus my study efforts. It definitely did and I passed on the first try. The exam was extremely hard, but this book got you to start thinking the way that PMI thinks. Most of my questions were word questions, so this was critital for me. I did not have any WBS or calculations to do. I would recommend this book for anyone taking the exam.
