Great Book for PMP aspirants
This is a best book for PMP certification seeking. This study guide uses adult learning techniques such as study capsules(videos from live classes via youtube) and discussions with fellow PMP aspirants. I will recommend this book to everyone who are seeking PMP certification.

Good book but really needs another round of editing. . .or two
I got this book expecting hoping it would be an asset for my preparation to take the PMP exam. Overall, i would say it has been asset. There are some things the book does very well, but there are some fundamental problems.Pros: I like the way the author presented the material, she breaks things down into a very easy to learn way. I like her teaching method and style, she did a good job breaking the knowledge areas and processes down, and her use of keywords and mnemonics as memory aids worked well for me. The activities and resources are pretty good. The companion youtube videos lectures were a nice addition.Cons: While the book says 6th edition, it has not been completely converted to 6th edition - some names have been missed. Have seen Human Resources/HR multiple times for the Project Resource Management knowledge area. I have noticed a few other names that changed from 5th to 6th as well that weren't updated. While this isn't a huge issue, it's confusing when you stumble across them and aren't aware that they are hold overs, more confusion is the last thing people need when studying for the PMP. In addition to the 5th/6th editions, poor sentence structure issues pop up intermittently.If the cons i mentioned didn't exist, i would give the book 4-5 stars. I am not saying don't buy this book, the program Kavita Sharma came up with is really good and it does help, but rather be aware that there are some problems.Edit: Using the techniques, keywords and concepts in the course. I was able to pass the PMP on my first time so i am changing my score from a 3 to a 4 since it works. Even though there was some 5th edition content that wasn't updated and the language issues, the program Ms. Sharma developed worked, at least for me. Thank you Ms. Sharma.

Insane number of typos for a finished product
I’ve taken an online PMP course and got this book to help me study for the exam by seeing it on paper so I can quickly reference memory items. I’m only a few chapters in and the amount of typos and information that doesn’t line up is ridiculous. It makes me not trust the information entirely. Some answers to the quiz questions don’t make sense and I’m nervous to change my answers/thought process because other information in the book is wrong. I wish I could circle all the incorrect info for the author and publisher and mail it back to them so they fix their sloppy work. It’s just so obviously bad.When I looked up which PMP study guide to get, all of the reviews for all 2021 study guides mentioned errors. I’m guessing these guys rush to get their books out so they can be the first on the market for the latest PMBOK exam version, but obviously don’t take the time to proof-read their work. Be careful with this one. I don’t know if it’s better or worse than the others. But goodness.. this is bad.I gave it at least 2 stars because the format and straight forward teaching method is good, but as mentioned above, do I trust it? No.

This book has me VERY nervous
I am only on the second part of this book and it is FULL of typos and bad grammar. Also, the wrong answers are given (see picture) and some answers are ever so slightly lighter (signifying they are the correct answers) which makes taking the practice tests pointless if I can see what the answer is without thinking about it. NOT WORTH $55!!
