PMP Exam Prep Simplified: Covers the Current PMP Exam and Includes a 35 Hours of Project Management E-Learning Course

Great resource for learning the fundamentals of PMP. Also very nice to have the online course bundled with this book. Good to note that this book will teach the basics, but you’ll need to understand the mindset and utilize YouTube videos to help with the phrasing of the questions on the actual exam.

If you are prepared to put in the study hours to pass the PMP, follow the instruction in this course and book along with the simulator offered by TIAExams and you will pass. I waited to post this review until after I attempted the exam. I passed on the 1st try.

I love this authors work, he is very knowledgeable and gives you exactly what you need to know, all the good stuff and no trimmings that you dont need. I have also purchased some of his other products and find a sincerity and genuineness in they way he presents his material. I am grsteful i came accross this book.

Yesterday, I passed the PMP on my first attempt! I used Ramdayal's prep book, the eCourse that accompanied the book, his Udemy online test materials and the TIA exam simulator. I studied over a 4.5 month period so that I could maintain a sustainable study and integration pace with normal daily life commitments rather than doing an intense and stressful shorter 'study blitz'. Ironically, I did not pass a single mock exam before taking the PMP exam as so many other reviewers here did. However, I did consistently progress and do well on all the quizzes in the book and the eCourse.Yes, as almost every reviewer has stated, there are errors in the book. You should *not* be concerned with this. Ramdayal uses so much repetition that they are quite easy to spot and your catching the errors is proof that you're absorbing the material. However, I did find errors and inconsistencies in the mock exam answers in the TIA exam simulator (incorrect definitions of one or two terms as the basis for an answer, wrong on one exam but right on another, etc.) that initially had me very frustrated and doubting what I had learned. I wan't necessarily failing them miserably. But I was still failing them... every time. Ugh! Moreover, it seems I never really "took" to the style of questions used in the mock exams. Probably why I never passed one. They seemed to be written in "double speak". Maybe they were deliberately written to be more difficult than the real exam? While some of the questions on the PMP were definitely confusing, I would not describe the writing style of PMP exam questions anywhere near as confusing as the mock exam questions. Others may disagree. I suspect that is because it's highly likely that no two people get the exact same PMP exam. I found that the information in the eCourse covered what was in the PMBOK7 and Agile Practice Guide quite well. I used the PMBOK6 as a reference to fill in gaps and/or verify errors in the Ramdayal book, eCourse, and exam simulator materials.Lessons Learned:- Focus on learning first, passing the exam second- Don't bother studying when you're tired. Seriously. You'll waste your time. Just leave yourself buffer in your overall study schedule so you can take time away from it here and there.- Reading the PMBOK7 was a waste of my time. It's not a useless reference; it's very specifically intended to be a COMPANION to the PMBOK6. It just didn't do anything for me in terms of prep for the exam because of how differently it's written. If you have to choose one over the other, definitely choose the PMBOK6.- Start with the eCourse first, then read the book. Ramdayal's teaching style is awesome and was key in helping me get unstuck on some things and really "land" the material. Additionally, there is substantially more Agile information in the eCourse than the book, and you'll need that Agile information to pass the PMP exam.- The Earned Value Formula, Critical Path Method, and PERT reviews in the eCourse are pure gold!- Print out the slides printouts that come with each module in the eCourse. They really do help. It's a LOT of paper, so find a way to print them for free.- Use flash cards- Give yourself a minimum of two weeks just doing mock exams and reviewing, preferably four weeks- Don't let any negative performance on the mock exams mess with your head. It is NOT proof of anything wrong. Stay positive and keep going!!- You will be starving and have trouble focusing on the last third of the exam. Pack a snack to eat during the second 10-minute break.- During the PMP exam, your review of flagged questions occurs within each individual section of the exam before you can take your breaks - not at the very, very end of the full exam. So, once you're done with that section, you can't go back.- The time you take to review your flagged questions counts against your total time to take the exam. Don't leave any questions unanswered, even if you flag them for review. This will ensure that if you run out of time, you have no unanswered questions.You got this!

The shipment was timely. The product itself is good. Helpful tool for studying for an exam

Book was VERY well structured and easy to digest. The practice exam in the back was very helpful to truly get my mind focused on the PMP Mindset. I also took Andrew's UDEMY Course, and it helped me immensely! I got at AT on all 3 sections on the PMP!

This guide includes Andrew Ramdayal's PMP course that fulfills the PMI 35 contact hours required prior to taking the PMP exam. This book and the included course teach you the Project Manager Mindset that you need while taking the exam. I could not recommend this book more.

This is a great book, I would recommend everyone to buy it and take the 35 hr course. Remember, you only have 6 months to finish the course.
