Summary: 92.5% on PMP (185 out of 200)
Review: This is an excellent book that covers all aspects of PMP exam. But make sure you read this in conjuction with PMBOK. After reading each PMBOK chapter and I read the corresponding chapter in this book. The author has done a great job in explaining the concepts presented in PMBOK. You don't need any more study materials than these two books. Make sure to do all the practice tests. The practice tests with this book has some very good collection of questions. The questions on the final exam was interestingly on the very similar lines.
Addtion of few subjective questions at the end of each chapter may further help. As a matter of fact, I created a list of subjective questions of my own based on this book that really helped me solidify my concepts and during the last hours before the exam.
My final result 92.5% on PMP (185 out of 200); Here is the break up.
Intitating Project: 94%
Planning the Project: 91%
Executing the Project: 90%
Controlling the project: 93%
Closing the project: 100%
Professional Responsibility: 93%
Thanks

Summary: Great Introductory Book Only
Review: When I read through the PMBOK, I found it hard to read. After reading this book, it explained things in a clear and simple way in how to apply each topic. YET, the test questions were very easy. I found Rita Mulcahy's book had more difficult questions more geared toward the exam. So, I read both books and got a firm understanding of the topics.

Summary: PMP Project Management Professional Study Guide
Review: WOW! If I had read this book eight months ago, I would've saved myself over $6,000 (educational costs associated with preparing for the PMP exam). This study guide is amazing. The information is presented in a very user friendly format. I ABSOLUTELY love the 'exam watch' notes. They have been instrumental in preparing me for the PMI thought process associated with the exam content. The practice exams at the end of each chapter have been extremely helpful, as has been the prep material on the included CD.My confidence is soaring! I am ready for this exam, and I owe it all to Joe Phillips and his team.........
