Rita Mulcahy 9th Edition VS PMBoK 6th Edition – Which is the best to study for PMP® Exam

A lot of first time students who wish to take the Project Management Professional PMP^® Certification exam have this question – which is the best book to study for the PMP^® Certification exam. There have been a lot of reviews, marketing and information available which makes a lot of first-timers confuse on what is the right material for the exam.

A lot of institutes actually advocate PMBoK 6^th Edition (Current Edition) as the right material for their students. Their line of advocacy is that PMI^® has published the PMBoK and hence, it is the most authentic. PMI^® has published a standard for PMP^® as they do for the other courses and have established REPs (Registered Education Providers) to teach this standard. The very purpose of the REP is to simplify the material and coach students on this material – PMP^® has made this as a mandatory step to get coached on this standard.

I feel those who only use PMBoK as their primary material are not investing their time and money to simplify the material. They actually defy the purpose of being a coach/trainer to the audience. I feel that one way to recognize a good institute or REP is one who has some other material than the PMBoK 6^th Edition.

Rita Mulcahy 9^th Edition is one of the best-simplified material to crack the PMP exam – this is being said by millions across the globe on the internet. This is the de-facto book to go for when you are attempting the PMP exam. Any PMP aspirant goes through this book for their PMP exam across the world.

Rita Mulcahy complements PMBoK 6^th Edition and is based on the PMBoK 6^th edition. Below given some finer points of both these books below:
