I passed the PMP test on the very first go with this study guide. I really found the audio recaps of the chapters very helpful. I put them on CD and listened to them on my commute. I also liked the process group organization. There were only 4 questions on my PMP test that were not covered at all by this book...so 98% coverage is pretty good.
This book does not hold your hand very much however. If you are looking for more than just an overview of subjects line Earned Value and Critical Path Method, then you may want to get another study guide. I had exposure to these subjects before, so this book was just the review I needed. But someone who is seeing them for the very first time may want a deeper treatment.
Overall, this book was a great "one stop shop" for my exam prep.

If you have an insomnia problem and don't have prescription drug insurance this is a cheap medication. This book will put you to sleep easily :-)
If you like verbose books that just expand on PMBOK with no practical examples, no pictures and do not aid your understanding of the subject , this book is for you! In short, this is the worst written book on PMP.
PMBOK is easier than this book and makes more sense. Do your self a favor and get Head First or Andy Crowe or Rita Mulcahy or Paul Sanghera.

I passed the PMP on the very first try using this book and Rita Mulcahy's review. This guide has a great CD of exam questions that I reviewed over and over. Since I believe at least 60-75% of PMP (and most professional certification) exam questions are repeats for each exam, I found that reviewing the CD questions helped me gain confidence during reviews and taking the exam when I saw many of the same questions. The book is great as well, presenting the material in a different format than the other guides I used. This one is worth the money!

If you are working toward becoming a program manager, or a current program manager wanting to pursue certification, this book is excellent. It is well written and has exam preparation software so you can practice testing prior to taking your certification exam. The only shortcoming, which is very minor, is that the entire book is published grey and white, which is somewhat boring and not as useful for charts and graphs. I assume that is a cost reduction for publishing and kept the price down.

Worth every penny. Would not have passed the exam without it. Listen to the audio on your ipod and read the book. Excellent
