Updated April 2018:

We have fully updated our Prep book recommendations, now that the 6th Edition versions are out.

New Top Recommendation

We have added a completely new book, PMP Project Management Professional Study Guide by Joseph Philips.

When Markus bought and reviewed this book, he found it amazing! In fact, so much so that he liked it more than Rita Mulcahy’s PMP Exam Prep. So, this is now Markus's new number one recommendation and one of our two primary text recommendations.

...and One Book Drops off our List

We have temporarily dropped Aileen Ellis's PMP Exam Simplified. We've done this because there is no updated 6th Edition version available yet, and nor can you pre-order a copy. We will add this one back in, as soon as we know there will be a new version. Markus checks this regularly.
