斑竹就是我心中的红太阳，我于是赶紧下了一份电子版。现在做到了时间管理部分。感觉是越来越恐怖。本来，我自以为时间部份是我学的最好的，也是经验最丰富的。结果，这一张我错的最多。这与我作其他的练习时正相反。

于是我赶紧上amazon，看看人家对此书的评价。一看下了一跳，基本上是臭扁，结论大多是浪费金钱和时间，现摘录几条：

Waste of time and money, December 13, 2001
Reviewer: Lynda Malcolm "fred 2" (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Are you looking for a practice test that will provide an excellent representation of the types of questions you are sure to find on the PMP certification exam? THIS AIN'T IT. The questions here are just cute. The authors spent more time coming up with bizarre scenarios than they spent developing questions comparable to those on the PMP Exam. I was studying for the exam and was getting intimidated by these questions because I was answering over 50% wrong. I recently took (and passed) the exam and found those questions to be relatively simple and straighforward. Questions that you would expect in a real work environment. I wasted my money, a lot of time and confidence on this book. Focus on the PMBOK, PMP Challenge! (also an ESI text), diagramming methods and earned value and comm channel formulas.

Disappointing Study Resource, March 5, 2003
Reviewer: Barbara (Boston) - See all my reviews
I did not find this study guide helpful at all. It merely presented terms to be familiar with for each knowledge area (without definitions or explanations as to why they're important) and sample exams. I grew increasingly frustrated with the exams because I was scoring significantly lower (10-20 points) that I was experiencing with all the other sample exams I was taking (e.g., Mulcahy and PMP Tools). The cute scenarios didn't bug me as much as the lack of valuable insight into how to improve my score on the exam. After a couple of chapters, I simply stopped using it. Having now taken and passed the exam with 30 points to spare, I can confidently say this book was a waste of money.

Waste of time and money, June 17, 2003
Reviewer: Kenneth L. Ray (Orange, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Entirely agree with the reviewers that indicate that this guide is a waste of time and money. I found that Rita Mulcahy's book is far superior to this book. Ward's guide only includes questions and does not provide any insight into how to prepare for the exam. In fact, the questions tend to indicate that much more preparation is required to pass the exam. Many of questions reference very specific and arcane management concepts that are not useful. I regret purchasing this book and fortunately came across Rita's book and focused on her preparation advice. I credit the Mulchahy book with passing the PMP exam with a 86% score.

诸如此类评论还很多。可见，国内引进的是一本不怎么样的习题集。

Amazon的书是非常全的，可是关于这本书，网站注道：Availability: THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.
就是说，人家都不乐意卖了。

我认为比这本书好的多着呢。我现在主要看：
PMP Project Management Professional Study Guide (Certification Press) by Joseph Phillips
PMP Exam Cram 2 by David Francis
这两本电子书以及，KIM HELDMAN的《全息教程》，比斑竹介绍的好多了。

呵呵，斑竹可别扁我！我还是非常尊重您老人家的。

要想顺利通过PMP考试，PMBOK还是最重要的，因为大部分题的考点就在上面。ESI题就是帮助你复习PMBOK的工具之一。
