I scored 72 on the first exam, 68 on the second, and 77 on the third practice exam. I also took three practice exams the week of the exam (I don't recommend this, but I was rushing) not affiliated with this author and that definitely tied everything together for me.
I spent approximately 4.5 hours a day on this book from September - December (with a few skipped days to enjoy life) and left no exercise incomplete.
I loved the content, her conversational style, and thus, I actually ENJOYED studying on the train, during lunch and home. I did a quick google search online when I realized that was missing (from my online course) and I was fine after that. However, please note the following are NOT INCLUDED IN BOOK: Rita does not include quality/grade and accuracy/precision, so make sure you get that knowledge. I was surprised (re: overjoyed), she administers these tests every day and didn't really seem like the cheerleading type. The woman printing my results at the testing site told me she was impressed. Overall, I really don't have any cons for this book because I didn't look at any other books and I passed and passed WELL. The PMBOK really helped me with inputs and outputs and Rita's book is great for those of us who are trying to get better in project manager and pass the exam on the first try. During my second go through the book I also read through the 4th edition PMBOK Guide. My study habits included reading through Rita's book fully once and taking the chapter practice tests, reading highlighted portions of the book the second time around and repeating some of the exercises in each chapter, and the third time around skimming each chapter for my problem areas and retaking the practice exams. I used Rita's book and the PMBOK Guide exclusively for four months. So I would say I was starting from the beginning for the more detailed processes like risk management.

I am the project manager for awareness campaigns, but my knowledge of PMI's thoughts on how to go through project management were not overly developed prior to studying for this exam. Having just passed the PMP exam on December 28, 2012, I can give you a fresh perspective based on my use of this book for passing the exam.
