Title: If your goal is to pass the PMP, this book is terrible
Review: Having taken the PMP this morning and passed, I can frankly say that this book was actually worse than a complete waste of time.I've enjoyed Dummies guides in the past, and hoped to use this as a supplement to Rita Mulcahy's book (which is excellent, and ultimately was all I needed to pass). I found the text in this guide very irritating and distracting for a number of reasons, not the least of which was because it didn't really corelate with the PMBOK.After giving up on the text, I hoped that I could at least use the practice tests on the CDROM that comes with it in order to get some simulated computer testing experience. WRONG! The test had so many typos and contradictions with the PMBOK that I was ready to chuck it in the trash after 30 minutes. I pity the soul that uses this book as their sole study guide for the test -- I don't think it would be possible.
Is the review positive or negative?
