Highly recommend this book I was late signing up with the PHR exam and I didn't have a lot of study time by the time I received this book, like a month. I used this book as my only source of information (I did graduate with my Bachelors and have worked in Staffing/HR for 9 years) and passed on my first try. I was very nervous because I kept hearing that it's difficult to pass on the first time, but this book helped me out a lot. I would recommend this to any experienced professional that is taking their PHR, I don't know about the SPHR though. | ||
VERY USEFUL STUDY TOOL! Just passed the PHR exam and this book was the only tool I used to study. However, I do not recommend using this as the only study tool. Further, I studied H. R. at UC Berkeley in CA (10 years ago)and this book taught me more. It was the main reason I passed and was put together to help you maintain critical info. The Benefits / Compensation section was the most so dry. Yet, the rest was really interesting. Keep in mind that the long and tough exam is situational. So they want the best answer; not just the right one. Therefore, I highly recommend it. Good luck to those who are planning to take it. KB | ||
A Good Resource This book was extremely helpful in preparing me for my PHR exam. SHRM offers a lot of classes and expensive training options, but with my work experience and this book as a study guide, I was able to successfully pass the exam on my first try. If nothing else, it's a good, inexpensive reference tool that I've utilized on many occasions. | ||
Good, but not good enough I purchased this book and the SPHR book by Larry Phillips in preparation for taking the SPHR exam. On the bright side I passed. However, the test was more theoretical and experience based than this book which seemed to gloss over many important issues. But then it is intended as a supplement--not a replacement for actual experience and/or training. In that aspect I think it delivered what it promised, but I favor the exam-specific approach. I think trying to prepare people for both the PHR and SPHR in the same book may too tall a task to attempt in a single book. | ||
Helped me pass... I just took the 2008 PHR and passed easily with the help of this book (even though it is intended for the 2007 test). The content is arranged in chapters that are cohesive and build upon concepts discussed in previous chapters. The CD-ROM contains helpful test exams and flashcards. This book is a great resource to keep around after the examination as a general HR reference book. | ||
