PMP Exam Prep Simplified: Covers the Current PMP Exam and Includes a 35 Hours of Project Management E-Learning Course First Edition

i did my pmp training couse back in 2020, this year (2025) i wanted to get finally certified, i had previosly purchased this book but never used it, so i took the dust off of it, and put it to use! i scheduled my exam giving me 2.5 weeks to study, i read 2 chapters of this book per day and took some practice questions out of the PMI website practice exam (also paid), between those 2 methods i was able to pass my exam on the first try! i do think that this book summarizes the content in a very easy way to comprehend.

Really easy and digest information to pass the pmp

I have been watching Andrew’s YouTube videos and needed just that little bit more to get prepared for the PMP exam. This is a good value for the amount of information and additional resources.

Yesterday, I passed the PMP on my first attempt! I used Ramdayal's prep book, the eCourse that accompanied the book, his Udemy online test materials and the TIA exam simulator. I studied over a 4.5 month period so that I could maintain a sustainable study and integration pace with normal daily life commitments rather than doing an intense and stressful shorter 'study blitz'. Ironically, I did not pass a single mock exam before taking the PMP exam as so many other reviewers here did. However, I did consistently progress and do well on all the quizzes in the book and the eCourse.Yes, as almost every reviewer has stated, there are errors in the book. You should *not* be concerned with this. Ramdayal uses so much repetition that they are quite easy to spot and your catching the errors is proof that you're absorbing the material. However, I did find errors and inconsistencies in the mock exam answers in the TIA exam simulator (incorrect definitions of one or two terms as the basis for an answer, wrong on one exam but right on another, etc.) that initially had me very frustrated and doubting what I had learned. I wan't necessarily failing them miserably. But I was still failing them... every time. Ugh! Moreover, it seems I never really "took" to the style of questions used in the mock exams. Probably why I never passed one. They seemed to be written in "double speak". Maybe they were deliberately written to be more difficult than the real exam? While some of the questions on the PMP were definitely confusing, I would not describe the writing style of PMP exam questions anywhere near as confusing as the mock exam questions. Others may disagree. I suspect that is because it's highly likely that no two people get the exact same PMP exam. I found that the information in the eCourse covered what was in the PMBOK7 and Agile Practice Guide quite well. I used the PMBOK6 as a reference to fill in gaps and/or verify errors in the Ramdayal book, eCourse, and exam simulator materials.Lessons Learned:- Focus on learning first, passing the exam second- Don't bother studying when you're tired. Seriously. You'll waste your time. Just leave yourself buffer in your overall study schedule so you can take time away from it here and there.- Reading the PMBOK7 was a waste of my time. It's not a useless reference; it's very specifically intended to be a COMPANION to the PMBOK6. It just didn't do anything for me in terms of prep for the exam because of how differently it's written. If you have to choose one over the other, definitely choose the PMBOK6.- Start with the eCourse first, then read the book. Ramdayal's teaching style is awesome and was key in helping me get unstuck on some things and really "land" the material. Additionally, there is substantially more Agile information in the eCourse than the book, and you'll need that Agile information to pass the PMP exam.- The Earned Value Formula, Critical Path Method, and PERT reviews in the eCourse are pure gold!- Print out the slides printouts that come with each module in the eCourse. They really do help. It's a LOT of paper, so find a way to print them for free.- Use flash cards- Give yourself a minimum of two weeks just doing mock exams and reviewing, preferably four weeks- Don't let any negative performance on the mock exams mess with your head. It is NOT proof of anything wrong. Stay positive and keep going!!- You will be starving and have trouble focusing on the last third of the exam. Pack a snack to eat during the second 10-minute break.- During the PMP exam, your review of flagged questions occurs within each individual section of the exam before you can take your breaks - not at the very, very end of the full exam. So, once you're done with that section, you can't go back.- The time you take to review your flagged questions counts against your total time to take the exam. Don't leave any questions unanswered, even if you flag them for review. This will ensure that if you run out of time, you have no unanswered questions.You got this!

This book has so much detailed information and is formatted in an easy way to follow. Excellent that you also get the video lessons as well!

I thanked Andrew Ramdayal for his invaluable guide in the PMP studying and practice. This helps me a lot in passing exam in November 2024. There is no word that I can use to describe how much his reading material have help me in this course. My first attempt was a disaster using other course guide and tutors. After I researched and found Andrew Ramdayal book and practice exam simulator, I realized that I have been missing a whole lot of material and knowledge to pass the course. After studying his material and watching his videos I realized success was on the horizon....I studied, read and do practice exam for over 100 hours...and I was successful at my second try. There are no words currently that I can use to describe how much your material had have help me in this course. You deserve the best recommendation there is and with this review I am encouraging anyone who wish to have a excellent chance of passing the exam is to purchase this book and the online practice exam simulator. You will not regret it!
