Review of PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide, Includes Audio CD (Paperback)

I'm not usually fond of Exam Prep books as they typically only "Teach the Exam" which in my mind is one step away from just memorizing answers and not really learning the How, why and what. However I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that these books actually gave you the answer in context to How and What with a little Why sprinkled in.A much richer book than most Certification Guides on the Market the PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide, Includes Audio CD is heavy on the situation and context for each knowledge area.The guide is part of a trio kit from Sybex worth the investment
