Aileen Ellis' PMP Exam Simplified helped me to pass the PMP exam and to pass with Proficient in all 5 process groups. I followed the study guide recommendations. For each section, it helped to first read the PMBOK 5, and then read the corresponding section in PMP Exam Simplified, and then take the sample questions (mini-test) for that section. Equally as important, is to review ALL of the questions after you answer the sample questions, and not just the ones you missed. By doing this, you make sure you don't miss the questions that you got right by "best guess", and it helps to cement the information in your brain.There are many exam tips throughout the book, and those are also important and relevant. Aileen summarizes, simplifies and provides a high-level overview of the important information in each section.I also used Aileen's on-line sample tests. I took approximately 17 mini-tests of 25 questions each (laid out by both process group and by knowledge area) and a full 200 questions test. As with the book, it is very important to review the answers and make sure you understand why you got an answer right or wrong, and to make notes and then do further review and even on-line research for what you don't know.I was also fortunate to take Aileen's 3-day class. Highly recommended. Combined with the book and on-line tests, that really helped to bring understanding to the entire PMP process, the flow of information, the order of the processes, the similarity between process, and more in-depth understanding of how to take the test.In the PMP Exam Simplified book, Aileen shows how to make flash cards for the Tools and Techniques for each of the 47 processes and suggest knowing the entire process group/knowledge area matrix found on page 61 in PMBOK 5. This is critical. My only recommendation, is to also know the key Inputs and Outputs, and I made sure I put those on my flash cards also.The summary of formulas and "names to know" in the back of the book is really helpful.Recap:- Read PMBOK 5 cover to cover.- Use Aileen Ellis' PMP Exam Simplified 5th Edition, and read PMBOK 5 again in conjunction with the book.- Take as many practice exams and questions as you can. Time yourself. Review to learn. I suggest taking several full 200 question practice exams.- Make flash cards for the ITTO's and know the 47 processes. Be able to recreate the table on Page 61 of PMBOK 5 in your sleep.- Write and re-create by hand as much of the tables, lists, and figures in PMBOK 5 as possible.- If you are fortunate enough, take a class from Aileen.Note: Make sure you are using the current versions of PMBOK 5 and the corresponding PMP Exam Simplified for 5th Edition. I suggest not to use older versions of books as they will not align 100%. I started the PMP process with PMBOK 4, and I believe PMBOK 5 is great update/revision compared to PMBOK 4.
After studying (struggling) to make sense of the PMBOK guide and other "how to pass" commentaries, I hit upon this book. It stands head and shoulders above other books claiming to help you prepare for what is, admittedly, a difficult test. This leads you through the entire PMBOK and provides checks on learning with each important topic and process. Moreover, it introduces additional material that is common on the test. Finally, the end of course test located at the back of this text provides 200 questions that are more like the actual test than any others I have seen. If I had selected this book at the start of my exam preparation, I would have passed the exam weeks sooner and with much less anxiety.
this was the best "Finishing book" for my PMP prep. I read thru Rita a couple of times but was still murky on a lot of concepts. Then i started reading this book and it really helped me to tidy up my prep. The format of this book is that Aileen reviews the important concepts at the beginning of each chapter in 1-2 sentences each and then gives us a mini test to take for that chapter. I found her summary very useful in solidifying my concepts and doing quick reviews before taking any tests. I would not have passed the exam without this book. I also have her other PMP books and all of the books were equally good.
I am writing this review even though I am still in chapter 4, hence I am certainly going to have more to say at later stage . Yet, I decided to write down why I'd already recommend this book.let me start by saying that, knowledge is something and passing an exam is something else (or not quite the same). I am sure you recall school or university exams where you mastered the subject yet left the exam room totally in schock and wondering what went wrong. Eventually, you learned that to pass an exam you need to learn ABOUT and FOR the exam too! Don't get me wrong, I am still convienced no one would pass the PMP exam with zero knowledge in the matter but all you need to know to prepare and pass the PMP exam seem to be prepared in this book for you. What can I say? I just wish I had an Aileen Ellis book for every tough course I had at University!I am enjoying so much reading this book (together with the PMBOK, as instructed in the book). Never thought preparing for an exam could actually be so much fun! :)Thank you Aileen!
Aileen's study guide has been a great help! I love the way she breaks down and organizes the information and really calls out what is important to know for the PMP. The questions at the end of each section are helpful, especially because of the explanation of why what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. Aileen's online database has been very valuable as well. I would highly recommend this resource for anyone interested in taking the PMP.
I used the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge Fifth Edition and Eileen Ellis' Exam Simplified Book to prepare for a first time pass on the PMP Exam. What I like about her classes and written materials is that she prepares you to think through the exams rather than memorizing materials. Her study drills and test questions left me with a good understanding of how the PMBOC processes fit together and how I should think about the PMBOK structure. The Exam Simplified book also helped highlight distinctive inputs, outputs, and tools and techniques for each process. Highly recommend this as the only reference you need, other than the PMBOK Guide itself, to prepare for the exam. For those wanting a little extra help with PMP math, she has also prepared a couple of concise guides for studying contract and earned value math techniques.
