This PMP exam prep resource is well organized and easy to follow. The content is presented in a clear, structured way that makes complex topics more approachable, and it aligns well with the current PMP exam format. The combination of written material and supplemental learning resources provides a well-rounded study experience. It works well for both structured study plans and targeted review. Overall, it’s a solid option for anyone preparing for the PMP exam who wants a clear and comprehensive overview of the material.

This is a fantastic resource for the PMP exam, and it is the reason that I passed my PMP last week with 3 “above target” scores. The book is very well written. Descriptions of the required material are concise. Chapters are 10-15 pages, which makes each easy enough to read and digest in one sitting. A test exam of 20-25 questions follows each chapter. There are plenty of exam tips sprinkled throughout to help with tough or easily confused topics, such as explaining the difference between the Control Quality and Verify Quality processes. There is also a 180-question mock exam at end of the book. The most useful part of the book, though, is the section where Andrew discusses the “mindset” needed to pass the test. The concepts here are crucial. For example, be a servant leader at all times, remove impediments that your team faces, solve problems head-on, make decisions yourself and don’t defer to the sponsor, etc. Grasping these ideas is key to passing the exam. The book comes with access to Andrew’s online video course, which you can use to satisfy the required 35 hours of training before registering for the exam. In addition to this book, I highly recommend Andrew’s new online Exam Simulator (google "tia pmp exam simulator”). It’s a separate purchase, but well worth the expense. The simulator contains 6 mock exams of 60 questions each, and each question has a video explanation where Andrew shows how to analyze the response choices and choose the correct answer. The video ties it all back to the “mindset”. These questions are very similar to what I saw on the exam. There are a couple of minor drawbacks to this book, but they are not serious enough to detract from a 5-star rating. First, there are a number of typos in the book and also some formatting issues. The index is off by about 5 pages throughout the entire book, for example the index entry for “earned value” refers to page 206, but the topic actually is on page 201. And the glossary is missing many key terms. Bottom line: get this book if you want to pass the PMP.

Like previous reviewers, i am thrilled that i was able to pass the PMP on my first try. Agree with others that the mindset the author encourages, and study tips were invaluable. I wish i had accessed his book and videos sooner - probably would have saved myself a lot of time. Instead i took the PMI online course which left me woefully unprepared for the exam (and eas super boring). That’s when i turned to this book. Agree that reading PMBOK and Agile Practice guide also essential. I also subscribed to PMI Study Hall, which provides 5 practice tests and hundreds of practice questions. I found the practice questions in the book and in PMI’s Study Hall far harder than the exam itself. Feedback for improvement on this book: - agree that the book needs more editing. I have led many projects involving technical guides, and we always planned for technical editing, language editing, and then a final read through from the technical editor to ensure that the language editor did not introduce any mistakes. It’s worth the effort. - most of the formulas he says to memorize are not quizzed on the PMI practice questions. The book devotes a lot of pages to critical path, which appeared on very few practice questions. This guide needs to be further updated to reflect PMI changes and include even more on Agile. - agree that it’s helpful to memorize the 49 processes, but i wish he would provide more explanation why this is important and how it will help one pass the exam. My conclusion was that it was helpful to understand the whole picture and all the parts, but I’m not clear why it’s important to memorize it. I’m not questioning it, just wish more explanation was provided. Thanks again for a readable guide that got me into the zone, and helped me understand the concepts on a much deeper level. My comments are shared in the spirit of continuous improvement. I still highly recommend this book and grateful I got my PMP.

Passed my exam on the first try! This guide, and the accompanying course, made passing the exam far easier than I expected. Everything you need to know is laid out clearly and completely.

Best book available in the market for PMP. At first, I went through PMBOK guide and Agile books hard to understand the core content as described generalized terms where as PMP Exam Prep Simplified book literally simplified book with simple examples to understand the contents and I was able to pass the PMP exam. For the additional video contents comes with this book, worth the money. I highly recommend this book to those who are planning for PMP certification.

I've watched a lot of Andrew's content and it is incredibly helpful in practice. Bought the guide and it does not disappoint! The content is easy to understand and perfectly laid out for studying. The only issue is that it came with some water damage on the last 1/4 of the book. The text is readable but the pages and back cover are warped on the edge. The package it was shipped in didn't have damage and the pages were bone dry when I opened it. Perhaps it was damaged before shipping. I'm not returning it because I'm trying to finish my training for the PMP exam this month.
