About the Book

This book uses the PMBOK Guide, Third Edition, so that all information is up to date for the new PMP examination. Don't just take the PMP(R) exam: Pass it, the first time! Less than 50% of PMP exam candidates actually pass the exam on their first attempt. But one group passes at an amazing 80+% rate: the students of Dr. Rudd McGary, PMP. McGary has spent years teaching the PMP certification exam and helping professional project managers prepare for it. Now, he's integrated all of these techniques and knowledge to assist you in one book: Passing the PMP Exam. Dr. McGary shows you exactly what the Project Management Institute expects from you and exactly how to be prepared for the certification examination. Whatever your experience, he'll help you rapidly achieve deep mastery of PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R)). Other books cover PMBOK, but this book is relentlessly focused on helping you ace your exam the first time.* Learn proven strategies, methods, and tips for passing your PMP exam * Master all five project phases: initiation, planning, execution, control, and closing * Use the book to become a project management professional in project integration, scoping, scheduling, costs, quality, human resources, communications, risk, and procurement * Understand critical project management details, from Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) to change control systems * Review the professional conduct and ethics standards you will be tested on * Continue to use the book as a valuable resource of practical information after you are certified The accompanying CD-ROM presents Rudd McGary's unique approach to passing the PMP exam. You'll find more valuable content than on any other PMP study guide CD-ROM--including more than 400 sample exam questions and answers! A(c) Copyright Pearson Education. All rights reserved.
