PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition - Updated: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam Review: Great Book - Helped me pass the PMP on the first try! - I just successfully passed my PMP Exam on the first attempt. It took me four months to achieve this goal once I set my mind to seriously preparing for it. Keep in mind, that I was randomly selected for PMI's 20% Audit of my application, so this added about 2 months to my prep time. I cleared the audit with no issues, but it did take time due to the process. This book is the single biggest reason that I was able to pass on the first try, and I strongly recommend using it as your primary source for preparation. Each chapter corresponds to a chapter in the PMBOK 5th Edition, so I would read each chapter in Rita followed by the PMBOK Chapter. Once I completed each set of chapters in the 2 books, then I would move onto the next chapter. I would highlight key concepts in both books as I read them. Once I made the first run through each book, I went back through Rita again, and answered each of the review questions at the end of each chapter. I also reviewed each corresponding chapter of the PMBOK, but focused on the key concepts' that I previously highlighted only in both sets of books. I also purchased the corresponding Rita Flash Cards and reviewed these when I had a few minutes of down time at my Kids' soccer practices or on my lunch hour. This reinforced the concepts in the Rita Book and PMBOK. Finally, I took 4 x full length practice tests and answered a total of about 2,000 practice questions (using PMP apps on IOS that you can purchase at a reasonable price) prior to the exam. 4 days prior to the exam I went through my highlighted areas in each Rita Chapter again. 2 x days before the test, I took a full length practice test (one of the 4 I previously mentioned). The day before the test, I went through the flash cards again. All of this helped me successfully pass. I spent no more than 2 hours per day studying due to job and Family constraints. Plus, after 2 hours, i would lose focus. The bottom-line is that this is a very difficult test, and you must thoroughly prepare or you will fail. However, this book is great focal point for your preparation, and if you follow it and thoroughly prepare, then you should be able to pass on the first try. I use this book regularly in my job as a good reference. Review: Get this book - I passed the PMP exam last week (first try) and I don't believe I would have passed if I hadn't used this book. It is very well written and was super helpful. Some background, I have 20+ years of experience managing software development projects of all sizes and complexities and would consider myself a highly experienced project manager. I've learned how to deal with all manner of issues. I wanted to get the PMP credential to add to my resume. The PMP exam does not test you on your real-world experience, however. It tests you on how well you understand the principles and practices that are documented in the PMBOK. This is key to understand. It is a BEAST of an exam. 200 questions in 4 hours with, what felt like, trick questions sprinkled throughout. Each question is multiple choice and many of them have four very valid answers as choices. You need to learn how to answer the questions the way the PMI expects you to answer them. They have a very specific and rather rigid way of expecting project managers to approach the process of managing projects. And, this is where Rita's book came in. She makes it clear what the PMBOK expects a PM to do. She explains the various process groups really well and provides many tips and hints on what to expect on the exam. I had already taken a PMP class and took about 3 months to read the PMBOK, a few hours a week. In the last two weeks before the exam I studied Rita's book, reading a chapter a night. The weekend before the exam I took a full practice test and memorized formulas and definitions. There are a lot of practice questions in the book and these were also really helpful, although, I found her questions to be easier than the exam questions. (Again, this exam is rough.) I would have liked more practice questions but fortunately had some from my PMP class. As for the exam itself, in my case, the majority of the questions were situational ("what should you do next if xxxx has happened"). These are tricky since you need to answer the way the PMP expects which is not necessarily what you would do at your company. There were probably less than 8 questions (out of 200) that required any math or memorization of a formula and NO network diagram questions. I had memorized all the formulas and how to calculate critical path and float, per Rita's guidance, but that didn't turn out to be required, at least on my exam date. That was disappointing since these are the easier questions. However, I passed. Phew! This book really helped. ## Features - 8th Edition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,369,173 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,383 in Project Management (Books) #6,924 in Business & Finance #8,069 in Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,625 Reviews | ## Images ![PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition - Updated: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710gDH6LAeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book - Helped me pass the PMP on the first try! *by J***F on March 10, 2017* I just successfully passed my PMP Exam on the first attempt.

This book really helped. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy This Book If You Want to Pass the PMP Exam *by D***E on August 17, 2014* Working in IT as a test lead/PM for more than a decade, I'd worked on project management teams, but I didn't have a lot of formal experience managing projects from beginning to end (e.g. creating budgets, creating WBS's, gathering lessons learned, etc). I still figured I had a decent foundation on which to build up enough knowledge to eventually pass the PMP. I started out by reading through the PMBOK, but I had a hard time retaining the material and staying engaged because of the dryness of the read. I floundered between videos online and the PMBOK for several months, and I even considered spending $3,000 to attend a PMP boot camp at one point. I came across Rita's book while searching for tips to passing the exam; Rita's book kept coming up as a primary study aid for exam takers who'd passed. So, I decided to buy it. Once the book arrived, I immediately started reading. I was impressed by the book's flow and approach. The one thing I liked is that it helped to develop a mindset about project management and passing the exam in particular. The tips in the book are great for helping to focus on areas of importance for passing the exam. After reading a couple chapters, the PMBOK sat on the shelf, never to be opened again. I recently passed the PMP exam on the first attempt, and I'm convinced that Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep was the key. Here's how I prepared for the exam: (1) Simplilearn PMP course to complete the 35-hour requirement (2) Tamilselvan Mahalingam PMP videos on YouTube - great videos (3) PMBOK (only read it once) - material is very dry. As I mentioned, I lost interest for a while until I found Rita's book. (4) Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep: - Read and completed exercises in book. Read about 1/2 chapter per day. - Re-read book (bumped up to 1 chapter per day, since I was more familiar with the material), answering the questions at the end of the chapters and doing the exercises. I answered each chapter's questions on separate stickies and stuck them in the book for that particular chapter so I could compare the results to subsequent test results. - Re-read book, answering the questions at the end of the chapters and doing the exercises again. Compared results to last test run to find areas of weakness. - Skimmed book, focusing on areas of weakness the week before the exam. - Skimmed book a second time the day before the exam, fleshing out any remaining areas of weakness. (5) Some online testing - not much, though I took about a year to complete the exam, but I took some time off from my studies during that year. I'd say that I averaged about 1/2 hour per day over that period of time. If you're trying to decide which study guide to buy, or you're trying to decide whether you should attend a high-priced boot camp, I'd give Rita's book a shot first. ## Frequently Bought Together - PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition - Updated: 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) - A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)–Fifth Edition --- ## 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.in/products/245023-pmp-exam-prep-eighth-edition-updated-ritas-course-in-book](https://www.desertcart.in/products/245023-pmp-exam-prep-eighth-edition-updated-ritas-course-in-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
