Better material out there that teach by domenstating real-life projects
I purchased the All-in-One PMP Exam Prep Kit back in Feb of 2019. The flashcards are digital and you have to contact the company to get your one-month subscription to their test Exam since they messed up the print on the material stating you get a one-month subscription. The key for that subscription that comes with the book is only for 7 days. It's very confusing to understand what you actually get when you buy this all in one.I found the book to be okay at best. The extra audio files, digital flashcards, and the quick reference sheet that come with it are not worth the increased price in my opinion. There are better options that will help make sense of what to expect on the Exam. I ended up buying a different book that was more interactive. This book may look like it has a lot of content, but that is only because the print takes up about 60-70% of each page. Every page has a section for notes.I also bought this material when it was $180 back in Feb of 2019. The price has dropped as you can see, but even at that price, I would still only purchase the book if you absolutely want this material. As I said, there is better studying material out there if you are a hands-on kind of learner. What I mean by that is if you like to practice what you learn with real-life situations don't get this book.

UPDATE: So Far So Great
UPDATE: The company promptly and courteously responded to my inquiries. Turns out the kit I received was missing an Access Card (there are two) that included the instructions for accessing the downloadable audio content. I was provided with the needed instructions and a new access code. I'm about 1/4 way through the audio content and I am extremely please with how the information is presented. I've only glanced through the book to the references identified in the audio instruction. What I've seen looks good and if the remainder of the book, the flashcard app, and the QR guide are anything like the audio, then I expect I will be quite pleased. If that is not the case for any reason, then I may be back to again edit this review.Instructions to access the advertised downloadable content are anything but obvious. Once I did find what appears to be the correct site, the access code provided in the kit did not work. I have communicated this to Velociteach and may update this review based on their response.

Passed on FIRST TRY
Received this book on 2/24, took the test on 3/11 and passed. I read the whole book from cover to cover and did the practice test in the book. I downloaded the flash cards to my phone and studied them at night before bed. I used the quick reference guide to help me remember the key points and forumlas from each chapter. I had already read my PMBOK 6th edition book twice and used the study guide that came with it.....but this book is different in that helps to realign your thinking to be able to successfully answer the questions on the test. I highly recommend it. If you put in the work, you will pass the exam on your 1st try.

Review on Critical Path Method
I have received the books back on few weeks ago. I have studied the PMBOK since 4 years ago on 5th editions and bought this books for hope that it would clear my view for 6th Edition of PMBOK. After few weeks, my review chapter coming to Schedule Management with a tons of calculations. My focus on Critical Path Method (CPM) and I review it very careful so I'm able to calculate and shorting all of things form it. But I dissatisfied with the example that we have to focus hard to make a calculation. The example is blur and I have to open other channel to look at the complete formula. Please take an action on pages 199-205 and exercise pages 211-212. Please supply with the concrete formula and correction of calculation. Still long to go before I complete the books. Thanks.

Great book.
Big improvement over 5th edition. I really like the short video clips on each chapter. Great job.What I didn't care for was the fact that they give you only 8 days to use their online test sample.

So Much Information
This book is very informative and requires more than one or two reads.

The Kit Helped Me Pass on the First Try
The materials in the prep kit helped me tremendously. The content in the book added so much more clarity for me to what exists in the PMBOK guide! Also, the video tips that Andy provides are helpful as are the quick reference and flash cards for memorization. I passed the exam on the first try!

Online study materials are a waste
Good book, but all the extra online study material was inaccessible. The audio conversations are not available in Canada, and you can find a better flash card app free than the one provided.
