PMP Pocket Guide: The Ultimate PMP Exam Cheat Sheets

From another review, I knew this study guide would be slim, but I didn't expect it to be 23 pages! 2 pages show the framework (i.e. the chart of the 5 Process groups across the top, and the 9 knowledge areas down the side) and all the processes. (Having attended the Certschool.com class, I already have this chart.) 4 pages show the 42 processes and their ITTOs (inputs, tools, techniques, and outputs). The next 8 pages include formulas and key terms for Quality, Scheduling, HR, Risk, Communication, and Procurement. The next 9 pages define each process (1 sentence definitions), listing them within their knowledge areas, and referencing the page in the PMBOK guide. You need to ask yourself: Are those 23 pages worth $35 to you? Do you want a succinct overview that is extremely portable (the booklet is 5x8")? Or, do you already have all this information somewhere else in a manageable format?

They took the time to 2 day ship it so my wife could have the book the weekend before the test. She liked it and said it was helpful. She also passed on the first try!!!!

I don't normally provide a lot of feedback on my purchases, but I felt like this book was worth the effort. It is well written, concise and easy to understand. It gave me an excellent idea of the things that were really crucial to understand when prepping for the PMP. Well done!

An extremely great value and quick summaries are very useful pre-test when you want to do a reminder of the basics. Obviously, not a single source study guide to pass the test, but use it!

This was not my favorite book at all for the PMP. Too basic.

Great book to help you study for the exam. References key points in a quick to read/digest format. i especially like the suggested 'dump sheet'

This guide is a great, comprehensive tool for PMP exam prep! I specifically referred frequently to the knowledge area/process group chart on p. 2/3 to help me organize the lessons. The illustrations of important sequences to remember also helped me a lot in my studying. Also provided is a recommended dump sheet, which was very helpful for the exam and easy to memorize using this tool. Belinda also gives some great exam tips and preparation info in this pocket guide, which eases the exam anxiety. Overall a great product that was essential in my exam prep!
