PMP Books & Reference Material

I am putting together some useful books and other preparatory material for PMP exam.
  1. Books
  2. Practice Questions Collection & Exam Simulator
  3. Flashcards
  4. Other Material


Books
  • PMP Exam Prep, Sixth Edition: Rita Mulcahy - One of the very popular books that is used across the globe for PMP preparation. The language used in this book is very simple and it puts you into situations when you really start thinking through how much have I been using this PMI-ism in my projects. It provides you the tricks of the trade, Study Tips, Games & exercises, Common error & pitfalls, PMI-isms and very good practice exams at the end of each chapter.


  • PMBOK Guide 4th Edition - This is the book and you can not avoid it. PMBOK Guide 4th edition is written better than its previous version but it still remains a boring book. You have to go through this book couple of times to understand the concepts. This is the official book for PMP exam but do not count on this book alone. Some topics that appear in the exam are just mentioned there but no details are provided, it is left to the readers to get the details.


  • The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try by Andy Crowe - A self contained book for PMP exam, it provides all the information needed to prepare for the test. This book provides further help by way of providing insider secrets, test tricks & tips, numerous sample questions and exercises for clearing your concepts.


  • Head First PMP - This book has been written in a unique way. It is written in a visually rich format. As per Amazon - "Drawing on the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, Head First PMP offers you a multi-sensory experience that helps the material stick, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep." It also provides a full length sample exam.


My take - You should have any one of the above books along with PMBOK Guide 4th edition. That should be sufficient for the exam.
