Review: Passed on first try only reading this book. - One thing I want to say before my review is that I am a master procrastinator and have always waited till the last minute to cram before an exam. This was the case when I was both an undergrad and graduate student and is the case more recently when I took my PMP exam. I only gave myself 2 days to really study so I really had to be careful what prep material I used for my cramming. I chose Rita's book because I have heard good things about it from others who have used it in the past to pass their exams so I decided it would be my prep book of choice. In fact, because of my very short time frame, I only used this book and only very briefly referred to the PMBOK. So in two days, I read this book from cover to cover and made sure I did all of the exercises after each chapter. I also memorized all the PMI processes using the flashcard-like cutouts in the book (very effective). That was enough for me to pass the PMP exam with proficient and medium proficient on each of the five process groups. So here is my overall assessment of this book. If you are looking to just pass the exam this book will do it for you if you read it carefully and do all of the exercises. Does it cover everything in the PMBOK? No, it does not, but it does give you enough info to just pass the exam. If I had more time I would have reviewed all the various inputs and outputs in the PMBOK as the Rita book does not go into that much detail about each one. But then again, overall goal of the Rita book is to get you to understand the concepts well enough so you can pretty easily make an educated guess (that is, at least eliminate two out of four answer choices). In other words, it does not ask you to rely on memorization (though there are some needed) but more on understanding concepts that the PMP exam will most likely test you on (Note that on my exam most questions did not ask straight up memorization type questions but were questions that required an understanding of the concepts in the PMBOK). Oh if you can afford to get Rita PMFastrack v7 DVD then you should get it. I believe it is sold on her website as desertcart does not have the latest version. The reason I say to get this is that this had practice PMP exams that were the most true to the actual exam. If you can consistently get over 70% correct on her practice exams, then you are definitely good to go on the real one. But even if you just have this book and the PMBOK, I think that is really all you need. Good luck everyone! Review: Extremely complete and useful - I just passed the PMP exam, and I can definitely say that this book helped tremendously. I have done project management for many years (on small projects), and had taken a series of on-line courses, so I thought I was ready. But when I took one of the practice tests in "PMP: Practice Makes Perfect", I realized that I had a number of holes in my knowledge. Maybe I would have passed anyway, but with the cost of a retest over $300, I wanted to be sure. Just about everything I needed was here, and the few things I had to look up on-line because they were sketchily covered (e.g. PTA) turned out not to be on the exam. I found it easy to find the info I needed, and the charts and drawings communicated well. There is a density of information in this book that I found very helpful. I spent about 30 hrs studying for the exam over about a week (not counting my original on-line course). It was intense, but the book's style and exams are readable and interesting enough that they did not put me to sleep. Yes, the tone can be off-putting, as it sounds like a very experienced PM "lecturing" a newbie. But if you've really been doing everything in PMBOK, you probably are already certified, and certainly don't need a book. For the vast majority of PMs who don't do all the PM processes thoroughly (if at all), the tone isn't too far off. And it's a small price to pay for a lot of info in a dense and accessible package that still maintains a very readable style. Well worth the investment. ## Features - Passing the PMP - project managers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #851,053 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #103 in PMP Exam #2,661 in Educational Certification & Development #6,903 in Business & Finance | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 573 Reviews | ## Images ![Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NE+74s2GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Passed on first try only reading this book. *by D***T on August 22, 2012* One thing I want to say before my review is that I am a master procrastinator and have always waited till the last minute to cram before an exam.

Well worth the investment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid study material, but not enough on its own *by E***R on March 8, 2013* After first reading the Head First PMP, I ordered Rita. Felt I needed another resource to explore some of the concepts deeper, mainly because I'm new to project management and don't have the experience it seems some people have going into the PMP. This was the perfect book for what I needed. I found all the exam tips extremely helpful, as well as the quizzes at the end of each chapter. I played the process game a bunch of times and did all of the other exercises. My only criticism is similar to what others reported - the material is very dry. The chapters seemed to drag on at times and were challenging to get through. I also thought the language/tone was condescending at times which was actually more amusing than upsetting. Just beware that this is a dry read but it's important to read it all. Another minor thing is there were terms on the exam that were not covered in Rita. Not many, but definitely a few. I don't have any recommendations for avoiding this, but just be aware that this book shouldn't be your one and only resource for studying for the PMP. A bit about my PMP journey ... I took and passed it in early February. I started studying immediately after Christmas 2012 and studied diligently through January. For the first few weeks I was reading Rita and Head First for a few hours a night. Closer to the exam I spent chunks of time on weekends taking practice exams. On the day of the exam I felt prepared, but I also felt burned out and at max capacity in terms of learning new information. If you're putting yourself on a rigid study schedule like mine, I wouldn't suggest extending your study time much more than 6 weeks. I mentioned practice exams above - I took about every free exam I could find on the Internet and believe this was absolutely critical in helping me pass. Although none of the exams seem to simulate the real deal perfectly, it really helped me see where my deficiencies were. Then I'd revisit Rita to reinforce what I'd gotten incorrect. Overall, this is one of several excellent resources I'd recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam - A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Seventh Edition and The Standard for Project Management (ENGLISH) - PMP Cheat Sheets: Visual Memory Sheets for Quick PMP Exam Preparation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1313591-rita-mulcahys-pmp-exam-prep-ritas-course-in-a-book](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1313591-rita-mulcahys-pmp-exam-prep-ritas-course-in-a-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
