PHR Study Guide 2019-2020: PHR Certification Preparation and Practice Test Prep Questions for the Professional in Human Resources Exam

This guide is well designed and has chapters corresponding to the five sections of the PHR exam. I appreciated the ALL CAPS text for key terms contained in the end-of-chapter review lists. My only critical feedback is that I would have liked page numbers included with the key terms so that I could look them up quickly when I need to review again. Alternatively, there could be a one-page index of key terms at the back of the book. There is already a blank sheet at the end, so one page could be used without adding pages to the total. I also appreciate the source references and the practice exam. I determined before finishing the book that I would look up the laws listed in the references so that I could more ably commit them to long-term memory before the exam.

I was able to read the book in 3 days. Very easy read the bonus about the work book was it was everything I needed to study. I was able to go and start making my own Flash cards because when you do it yourself you remember.

Purchased Trivium Test Prep study guide to help me prepare for my PHR exam. I found overall the book is very enjoyable to read. It provides you with the content you need and not the fluff or unrelated materials to the exam. I would have scored it higher, but I was very disappointed in the figures in the book. The text is not clear (like it was printed twice and not exactly lined up) and they did not make good decisions on the shades of gray. They used such dark shades in certain areas that are so dark, you cannot read the text in that section. Overall, I would recommend the book.

I mainly used this book and one other paid training tool (and a few free ones) and passed my PHR on the first try. I did study for a few months, and studied hard the last couple weeks, but I recommend this book. It gets straight to the point, does a good job summarizing, but you get the content you need and will help you in your career.

This study guide is very easy to follow and interesting to read. Each section is broken down into manageable sections for easy understanding. Along with my other study guides, this book is very helpful.

Suggestion: Along with the questions, put a reference to the chapter or page where it was discussed. It took the test several times and it would be helpful (quicker) to know where to go back to study the parts I missed or that I felt I needed to reread.

This looks like a good study guide. The book offers a free "how to" video but before they send it they want you to post a review. So thats why im posting my review. I have not read this book and I feel as though method is why there are so many good reviews. I will update once i finish reviewing the material.

I purchased this book several months ago along with an online self-paced study program. I have completed the online self-paced study program and have 35days until my exam. I figured I could read the book and use it as a final recap on all the subject areas. To be honest, I found it way too vague, if you are serious about passing your exam I would not recommend this book as the only resource to study you will be disappointed.
