Summary: Waste of money!
Review: All this is the instructions and qualifications for how to get PHR or SPHR certified. I did not find it helpful at all for the price! It does give a practice quiz (yes, just one) which I suppose is helpful but I would just go ahead and order prep materials and use those. If you are nervous about standardized tests then I guess it's somewhat helpful because it goes in to how to take them and alotting your time...but if you are well-seasoned in them or any testing (as I am) then I would say don't bother.

Summary: Excellent Resource for PHR/SPHR Certification
Review: I used an earlier version of this manual as a guide to study for the SPHR examination. That's exactly what this manual is: a guide to help professionals in human resources to pass the certification examination. As a tutor assisting other professionals prepare for the examinations, I use this guide as a the template to assist each candidate to make a personal study outline. The practice examination has questions that are in the same format as the actual examination. My suggestion for prospective credential candidates is the take the test, study the topics in the guide, then take the test again. Carefully examine the percentages listed in each topic category and pattern your efforts accordingly. While this guide is not a cure-all, it is a great resource. It is a light on the path to certification. Walking along this path takes hard work.

Summary: Not a study guide at all
Review: This book contains a 125-question practice exam, with answers and rationale behind the answers for each question. Most other information in the book can be obtained from the HRCI website, without buying a book. It is worth buying for the practice exam (taking the HRCI practice exam online costs $45), but not as anything other than a practice test.
