The book is rather expensive, but that's understandable given the very limited audience appeal. I'll always remember her portrayal of Theory X and Y: 'X' uses two eyes made of an 'x' to show the fierce, autocratic-style manager, while 'Y' uses a 'y' mouth to show a happy, trusting-type manager. It makes use of some visual cues so visual learners, too, benefit. It provides sample test questions at the end of every chapter, including some intentionally difficult (and seemingly arbitrary) questions, and explanations for what the correct answer is, and WHY. It provides lots of tips and tricks and explains lots of what Rita calls 'PMI-isms' to equip you to take the exam. It successfully prepares someone to take - and pass - PMI's PMP exam.as long as you're diligent about reading this book cover-to-cover several times! Although this 6th edition contains more material than the 4th edition, it's substantially the same, especially in the way it's written. I was using the 4th edition even when the 5th edition was released, but figured I ought to buy this 6th edition to ensure that my teaching materials were exactly aligned with the materials exam students were using. Recommended!īACKGROUND: I bought this latest PMP Exam Prep book because I facilitate PMP exam prep seminars at my workplace once each year. Although stylistically there are things you may not like about Rita's delivery, it is unquestionably effective. Her book was the only exam prep book I used, and I was plenty prepared to successfully pass the exam because of it. QUICK SUMMARY: In 2005, I used an older version of Rita's PMP Exam Prep book to prepare for and subsequently pass the PMP examination.
