Rating: - Good but not very good
Well, this book is easy to read and to exercise on it. It has also some very useful schemes. However I am surprised that there are some mistakes and typos that weren't corrected. Also, the examples in the book fit just a little with the kind of exam questions that I have had at the CAPM examination. However, from all the books I have read on the CAPM theme, it is the most appropriate and recommendable.

I also liked the other two features: a quick review of each chapter in the PMBOK Guide and the Exam Quick Prep. In response to a couple of other reviewers, I think the typos in this book are quite less than typos and errors in other books on the same topic. The ... Read More

Rating: - Questionable information...

Rating: - Passed the CAPM Exam on the First Try
Used the PMBOK Guide and this book (CAPM Exam Quicklet), passed the CAPM Exam on the first try. This book, very useful. Practice exam questions very similar to the real exam questions. I also liked the bonus features: Exam Tips, Summary of Each PMBOK chapter, and Exam Quick Prep at the end of the book. Explanation of why the correct answer is correct and the incorrect answer is incorrect very helpful in re-enforcing the useful concepts. Also the reference (by page and section) to the PMBOK Guide with ... Read More
