PMP Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 2)

Rating:
Summary: A great source for questions
Review: An expert is someone who has fully immersed themselves in a field of study for a time that is long enough to have developed a clear understanding of the technicalities at interest and to have gone beyond this personal understanding to the next level of communicating the richness of what they have learned to others. David Francis is an expert in project management. I have been fortunate in knowing David personally and having him in my corner as I achieved my PMP. David not only brings his knowledge of PMI to bear in his books, but also brings the day-in and day-out practice of the skills of which he speaks so fluently.

Summary: Low Cost PMP Practice Questions from Different Perspective
Review: Everyone writes questions a little differently. David has done a good job of assembling questions that make you think through to the best answer, not just one that is right. This matches the approach on the PMP exam. Explainations are well documented, the CD enables you to take timed exams that help to prepare for the real testing scenario - very helpful for those who suffer from test anxiety. A great value for the money spent.

Summary: PMP Exam Prep
Review: Great book!!!! I am preparing for the PMP Exam and have found this book to be very helpful. The situational questions are well written and really make you think about how best to prepare for the exam. The CD is very helpful and gives you two ways to study. I use the CD on my laptop when I travel and the book when at home.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: I am one day away from taking my PMP and had bought this book 2 weeks ago as an alternative to paying the $200+ for Rita Mulcahy's CD-ROM practice tests. From that perspective, you do get what you pay for - an inexpensive set of tests that cover a lot of the PMP material and allow you to simulate exam conditions through the CD-ROM.
If you are picky about quality, then just keep in mind the following:
1. On the CD-ROM, there were several questions that had the wrong answer marked as the right answer.
2. There were also several questions that had an entirely different question's explanations listed which did not relate to the question at hand at all.
3. On the CD-ROM, some of the explanations tend to be too simplistic or just useless. For example, some of them just state "Choice X is incorrect." There were many explanations that explained what was wrong logically (Ex: "A is not the same as B"), but did not go the next step in explaining how the answer fits with PMI's methodology.
Those are my caveats, however, I feel that overall, for the money, this book delivered what I was after.

Summary: Good Resource
Review: I found David's book to be very good, cost-effective method to study. The questions on the CD-ROM make me think things through, about the entire process. It is not intended to verify you can memorize all the facts you need to pass the exam.

Summary: PMP Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 by David Francis
Review: I found the book to be very thorough. The PMP cram sheet inside the front cover gave details of subject matter I should be comfortable with before going for the exam. This summary is extremely helpful. The exam questions in the book are useful. The explanations in the answer key are clear and concise. The questions on the CD that accompanied the book gives the look and feel of a real certification exam.

Summary: A great study tool
Review: The Exam Cram 2 - PMP Practice Question book by David Francis is a great study tool. David's book is an economical way to practice for the PMP exam. There are plenty of books out there that provide practice questions, but most cost twice or even three times the amount of Exam Cram 2. The practice CD provides the user with several options, one of which is an exam mode so you can simulate the real test-taking environment. I felt the Professional Responsibility questions and the PMP Cram Sheet where especially helpful.

Having just completed and passed the PMP exam, I would recommend David's book as a tool to practice questions for the exam.

Summary: Very cost-effective way to prepare for the PMP
Review: This book is a terrific (and very cost effective) way to prepare for the PMP exam. The questions are very comprehensive and the explanations are wonderful. I was also impressed by the software included with the book. It allows you to test with or without explanations, and even simulates the 'live' test with ability to mark questions. The only thing I'd change about it would be to organize it by PMBOK chapter.
