From the Publisher
This is the 4th edition of the PMP Exam Prep, often called "Rita's book" by project management students, which has easily become the standard training material to help project managers pass the PMP exam. PMP Exam Prep is being used in over 43 countries.

It is more than a series of sample exams. It is a comprehensive guide to get ready to pass the PMP exam.

PMP Exam Prep goes beyond the material contained in the PMBOK incorporating input about project management from around the world. The emphasis on this publication is the tools you need to pass the exam and apply project management principles to real-world situations.

Since the world of project management is constantly being updated, RMC prides itself on keeping its materials as up-to-date as possible with frequent edits and printings.

Customer Reviews

Too wordy, too hard, not useful
Rita's book has jokes, stories and unrelated non-senses. On top of that, the practice questions are hard and complicated. If you just want to pass the exam buy something else (like Crowe's)

Thorough, but opinionated
The good: it's thorough and covers more material than a number of other prep books out there. There is material covered here in depth that isn't in the PMBOK. The author does have some good explanations for the PMBOK content that, if you can get past the author's patronizing tone, can be helpful.
The bad: it's full of Rita's opinions on what you should do and it reminds you that the reason no one knows the full title of this book is because she's good at relationship marketing. There is material here that isn't in the PMBOK -- material which I found confusing and, at times, contrary to what was in the PMBOK. I hated the attitude of the author, found the "games" to be insulting to my intelligence, and found that I was better off just reading the PMBOK.

Not quite a must
Hi Guys,

For those of you who intend to take PMP in the near future, I would say this is "NOT" a "must buy" book. Rita helps, but the hype you see in some of the reviews is just irrelevant. I was probably amongst one of the youngest professionals to have successfully cracked PMP which made it even more tough for me to deal with the questions in the exam. All you need is PMBOK, Crosswind plus maybe Rita( you can substitute this book with any other PMP book), with a thorough inside-out knowledge. Bingo!!You can crack PMP!!
