Andy Crowe PMP book

[edwi...@gmail.com]

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone have any experience with using Andy Crowe's pmp book to prepare for the exam. Would reading that book alone be enough or if pmbok is also a must? Same question for Rita's pmp book. I appreciate any comments on this as I'm trying to gauge how much time is needed to study for the exam.

Thanks
Edwin

Hello Edwin.

I just recently passed the PMP exam. I started my SERIOUS exam prep
about 2 months before the exam. I took and passed on 25 September
(1st try). My first order of business in my exam prep was to read the
PMBOK entirely. I had two main mistakes. I was not consistent in
reading through the PMBOK (and I read all the chapters), and I delayed
reading through the Glossary until later in my exam prep.

There are a lot of pmp exam prep materials out there, especially
through the Internet. I am not familiar with Andy Crowe's book, but I
used a couple other resources, which were very useful.

To answer your question about PMBOK, I would strongly suggest you read
through the PMBOK (4th Edition) at least once, including the Glossary.
It might also be useful to give yourself time to read and re-read
chapters, or at least parts that you did not understand. Even if you
use a prep book, that book will refer you to the PMBOK for
explanations.

Also if you take any practice exams - again for which there are many
in the world & and which is very useful to help you get a feel for the
exam (see oliverlehman.com for some good resources) - the good
practice exams will refer to the PMBOK or other references in
explaining the correct responses.

Bottom line - PMBOK should be on the top of your list for exam prep
study.

Good luck.

Hi Ibrahim,

Thank you very much for your response. You are right about the Pmbok and I will follow your advice to ensure I read it along the Crowe book that I have.

Thanks
Edwin
