“This book is an excellent resource for preparing for the PHR exam. I would not count on using it exclusively, but when combined with other available resources, it has much to offer in exam preparation. Not only does the book provide a great deal of human resources information, it also provides tips for studying and preparing, as well as many practice questions to let you know where you need extra effort. I know this book helped me in passing my exam.”

Frustrating Fluff
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

This book is not an exam prep. It surprises me that the publisher even gets away as describing it as an exam prep. The problem is that the book contains entirely too much "fluff" and not enough specific instruction on exactly what is needed for the exam. For example, in chapter 7 under "Exam Alert" it gives a list of terms and names needed for the exam, but DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE DEFINITIONS! This book may be somewhat useful as a reference guide for HR generalists to use on the job, but it is by no means a useful study guide for the PHR exam.

Good as a secondary resource
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

I took the PHR exam today and passed. However I have to give this book a mixed review. Though certain aspects of the book were complete and thorough (especially the chapter on labor relations), I felt many important details were left out. Also the layout of the book is not very conducive to easy reading and retention. This is a very good secondary resource, but I suggest going for the study guide by Anne Bogardus (which I used) or the SHRM learning system as a primary resource.

PHR Exam Prep
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

The book was in great condition and arrived fairly quickly. I wish I would have read more closely that it did not come with the CD-Rom, but for the price I have no regrets.

good information BUT ALOT of typos and mistakes in the information.
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2

I've been studying this book for about 2 months in addition to other sources for the PHR exam. I haven't taken the exam yet but I feel confident about the information I have obtained.

LIKES: comprehensive information on every aspect of HR and "exam alerts" that provides areas that will definately be on the exam.

DISLIKES: There are SO many mistakes in the book which include typos and misprints. For example, the "exam review questions" at the end of Chapter 4 show answers to questions that are not related to the question. Definately a misprint on the publisher's part. Also, there are alot of small mistakes in wording here and there throughout the book. Doesn't cover subjects that are on some of the practices exams I've taken online.

I pass the PHR
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I use this book as a complement to my study plan for the PHR certification exam. It was very helpfull.
