PMP Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 Review by David Baker
Exam Cram 2 PMP Practice Questions review
I purchased the Exam Cram 2 PMP Practice Questions book a couple of days before I took the PMP exam (yes, I did pass). Here are my thoughts:
1) A number of readers are indicating certain material was focused on the prior version of the exam. I've noticed that Amazon has placed both the Exam Cram I and II book reviews together, and suspect that there might be some reviews that are referring to the Exam Cram I book utilized for the newer exam.
2) I found the book to be very beneficial in that it is laid out by the 5 process groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, etc.) + Project Management Framework and Professional Responsibility. The format and layout of the book, with the questions organized by knowledge areas within each chapter, is quite good and the questions are in the ballpark of what you're likely to see on the exam.
3) In studying for the MCSE, CCNA, Series 7, and Series 24, I am a HUGE fan of questions and the book comes through with 500 practice questions for around $25.00. The questions helped surface areas (for me) that I missed or didn't absorb with the PMBOK and Mulcahy books and overall, added to my understanding of what the exam will be looking for in the way of the "right" answer.
4) Yes, I did notice maybe a couple of incorrect (odd) answers or answers that didn't quite sync with the question that was asked. I'd say, maybe there were 10 +/- of those, so the book is not 100% perfect, but that should not detract from the other 490 good questions.
5) The answers, in some instances could have elaborated a bit more.
6) Overall, I'm very glad I purchased the book and went through every question. Did it make or break a passing mark on the exam? Unknown, but the hundreds of questions definitely contributed to an overall better understanding of the extensive content needed to pass.
