Beware of the flash cards
The media could not be loaded. I opened the book and was excited to get to the flash cards. I spent time cutting each of them out only to find that the flash cards are incorrect. The front word/s don’t match the definitions. It looks like they were printed one off. A little concerned that of the flash cards aren’t correct what if the practice test answers have the same error.

Not agile focused
The January 2021 test focuses almost entirely on agile project management. This book covers none of that

Decent study guide but significant flaws
I bought this about 9 months ago to start studying for my PMP exam. After taking the exam recently I decided to write a review. My opinion of the book is mixed. Parts of it were quite helpful when I took my exam but it has some significant flaws as well.The GoodThe guide is laid out well. The information in it is easy to find and it does a good job of explaining the different process areas you're required to know. The process chart was very helpful in remembering what processes go where and the author was exactly right, there are a ton of "What should you do next" type questions. This part of the book was probably the most valuable.The Bad- The book focuses heavily on traditional "waterfall" style project management while the test had a much heavier focus on agile project management. If you're going to use this book, make sure you do some serious studying on agile topics somewhere else.- The practice questions in this book are almost worthless. They're too easy compared to a lot of the actual test questions. They also have significant errors. There are blocks of repeated questions in some of the tests (i.e. questions 59-61 are an exact repeat of questions 56-58). There are questions which are impossible to answer because you aren't given enough information. And some of the answers given are clearly wrong or meant for a different question entirely.If you're going to try to use this book as your study guide for the PMP exam my suggestion would be to make sure you try out a lot of different sample tests from multiple sources and to find another reference to study agile project management from. But if I could go back and do it again I'd buy a different book.

Decent but with clerical errors
The book seems legitimate and has decent info. But there are a lot of errors throughout. Some not a big deal, like inconsistent font size and saying “How” instead of “What” in several questions. The biggest issue was the incorrect labeling of a process group chart, which was definitely confusing and I ended up having to cross it out and correct it.Personally, I like studying by knowledge area (horizontal across the matrix chart), but this book goes in order of process groups (vertical), so it makes it difficult to flip through to find the next process in number order.Like I said, decent-enough info, just not the best format and some clerical errors.

Not bad, a good value for the money
The book provides good points of things to remember. The one thing that kept me from giving it a great score was that it mislead with the title. It does very little to cover the 2021 alternate agile methods as promoted by PMP. So in that sense its false advertising. But as a pure PMP learning asset It is very favorable. if you are looking for a well rounded Project Pro book this is a good study, but if you feel the need to pick up applied alternates like Agile methods then you may want a more complete presentation.

Lacks proof reading
Multiple errors in the formula's that can really throw you off if you don't know any better. Example; Communication formula is N=N(N-1)/2. They have it correct in one place, but (n+1) in another, and the answer given under the "Exam Prep" question us (N+2). Very concerning. I'd stay away.

Avoid this PMP prep book!
This “professional” item is unprofessionally written. I keep finding grammar and format errors that shouldn’t be so easily noticed. Buy a different book since this one does not instill confidence in the material.

Not sure of the reliability of the information
I have some issues with the layout of this book - all of chapters seem flow from one to the next which makes it hard to find answers quickly. Darren Process chart is confusing as it flows across three pages. There seems to be some sort of relationship between tasks but with the breaks in the chart - it is very muddled. . The PM Process Groups chart is easier to understand.I am also concerned that this quide does not cover any of the Agile material that will be on the test while other exam preparation guides have updated their materials to include it. I feel that the cover or the description should have stated that. I am looking into returning the book and getting a guide from a more reliable source.

Needs an Editor
The book needs a good editor. Many questions have the wrong answers. Many duplicate questions (you have no idea how many times I saw the question “in what order should you perform the steps of team development?” A: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning”).This book was beneficial in that it forced me to go find the correct answers.Questions seemed overly simple. Really hope the PMP Exam questions are like this ;)Read the reviews of previous versions of this book. Seems to be the same. Would not recommend.

Wrong Answer Sheet and misleading
Full of misleading and errors are in the answer sheet. I am so regret to have this useless book. Tons of mistakes are there. Go for it if you're happy for it. I will make a complaint to PMI about this author and his book. Just a waste of the time.

Livello basso
Domande troppo semplici inutile per superare l'esame PMP. In alcuni casi le risposte erano errate.
