SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide, Second Edition

Very good book. Content is relevant. With its price, I don’t have any complaints.

This is the best self taught book for the SHRM-CP, I purchased this book two weeks before my exam and passed on the first round! You can use along with Pocket-prep it helps with explanations.

BUY THIS BOOK!!! I took the SHRM-SCP test this past Monday and passed on the first try. So many of the concepts from this book are applied on the test. The book I used to prep for the CP test did not prepare me for it (but luckily I passed since most of the questions are situational). So I was skeptical on if this book would and it did. I would highly recommend. It's also a great book to read and have around for various tips and as a great knowledge base. I bought this book and used PocketPrep to prep for this test, so I spent under $100 and passed. No expensive courses are needed if you have this book!

Used this to study for the SHRM-CP exam. Overall, a good pick. Definitely more affordable than any of the study guides from SHRM. This book was a lot easier to digest than previous study books I read at first. Broken down by the core competencies, complete with practice questions at the end of each section (super helpful). The online practice was great just for getting practice for the test format. Cons: While it gives a good intro level to the concepts, it wasn't as in depth as the actual test. The practice questions were MUCH easier than the actual exam. Just be prepared for a drastic shift in difficulty level between the study questions and the actual test. Summary: Great into study guide, definitely worth the lower price. If it was more expensive I'd say avoid, but you really can't go wrong for this price.

I pre-ordered this guide months ago with high hopes and it has not disappointed. I finally received it early last week and have worked through this guide front to back, including the online system, to provide a review of the content in comparison to the BASK, the quality of it, and the quality/quantity of practice questions provided. All in all, I find this updated guide to be much better than the first, which is surprising because the first edition was pretty good. The content is easy to follow and the online system helps with compounding learning and competency nicely. If you're on a budget or would rather save money on learning resources to provide yourself a greater reward after passing, this guide will serve you well. I actually like its formatting better than the SHRM LMS. Kindle version: $39.99 Paperback version: $59.79 It's well-written, well-aligned, and connected the content across domains (super important), it's easy to follow and the online content is solid. Definitely worth the price point.

Very good reference

I believe this book does a good job of covering the basics of what is needed for the exam. However, I found typos, repetitive quiz questions, repetitive content, inconsistent sequencing of topics, and different "voices" in writing style to be distracting at best and confusing at worst. Examples include: Replacing the phrase "identity alignment" with "identify alignment" in the concept's explanation, naming the four aspects of a theory and then describing them either out of order or with two concepts consolidated into one, and reusing questions from the book's chapter tests in the online exam. If those types of things don't bother you like they do me, then this book is great! My issue was less with the deficiencies themselves and more with my confidence in how well the necessary information was being covered overall if there was this type of inattention to detail.

Solid set of practice questions to help prepare.

great
