For PMBOK Exam Prep: Andy Crowe or Rita Mulcahy?

Submitted by desperado on Sat, 08/17/2013 - 14:18

My exam is in Nov 2013 with PMBOK5. Please advise -which reference book should I buy to study along with:

1. Andy Crowe  or 
2. Rita Mulcahy 

Because of time constraints can't read both. Please advise, if you have any experience or insight.

I am sure many out there are struggling with this dilemma.  PS :Have 15 years of work ex., so am familiar with PM stuff (terms) to some extent.

considering you know PM stuff and all, Rita's book will give you slightly different perspective, Both books are good and reputed.  Questions at back of chapter are good in Rita's book.
