PM Book Review

This is a fantastic book. I bought a copy for myself and for several of my clients. When studying for the Certified Records Manager Exam, I consider this to be one of the core books required to passing the exam. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in quickly learning base PM principles. You'll know more than your boss and you'll be able to inject business phrases and principles into your conversations which will make you look like a top notch player. Keep this book with you at all times and review it often.

helpful

I used this book to clep out of a college management course. I studied this book for two days and passed the test by a large margin. The only part i wish i had studied a little more was management history.

All You Need for CLEP Principles of Management

This book contains all that you need to know for the CLEP Principles of Management test. If you study it a little bit, you should easily pass. I scored a 76, which is well above the ACE passing score.

Perfect for CLEP

I have a background in Quality and Project Management, but had limited knowlege of HR and motivational theories. I bought this book the week before, and passed the CLEP yesterday with a 76 out of a possible 80. This is literally the only book you'll need to pass the exam, and you can read it in a day or so. Spend special attention to theories and pioneers of management.

Four hours latter, I'm an expert

I sat down with this book for four hours, two days before taking the management CLEP. I read it once through, went to the CLEP, and passed with a comfortable margin to spare. Of course, it's not the most difficult test in the world, but this book lays out a lot of specifics that you have to "know," and can't just lie your way through. It is well written and reads clearly. Of course, it's kind of like taking an overview class in college. You're bored, unsatisfied, and have more questions than answers, but it was enough to get me through the test with basic knowledge of management principals. Happy reading
