PHR Study Guide Customer Success Stories

It is perfect in size as I travel and I can fit in my briefcase without it being too heavy. From what I glanced at, I believe this will be a great supplement to my prep course.

This product exposed my weakness. I must target where I am weak so that I can sharpen my weakness before taking the exam. I have confidence in this product and I am shooting for nothing less than a PASS on my upcoming PHR exam in June.

This study guide is the best! As I studied other material, I found that there was an overwhelming amount of information and at times I thought that it would be almost impossible for me to obtain my certification. Studying the material was just taking too much of my time and I was becoming very stressed as the exam date approached. I decided to look for additional study material, and came across this one. I decided to give it a try based on other reviews and of course the price. This study guide covers everything you need to know to pass the PHR examination. I passed the examination and to be honest, I don’t’ think I could have passed without this guide.

Studying human resources is a big job because there are a lot of things that can come up in that department and if you're in charge of it, you have to know what to do. I knew it was important to have my certification because I would be able to get a better job with that on my resume. I looked for study guides for human resources and I found a few that might have worked, but when I ran across this one, I decided to get it over the others. I was encouraged by the fact that it was made for the specific test I was going to take. When I got it, I was glad I did. It had all of the human resources issues and content that I needed to learn all in one packet. It also had some practice tests to help me see how I was doing with the studying process. When I got an answer wrong, it even explained to me which answer was right and why. That helped me ingrain that answer into my head even better. If I ever run across someone taking this certification test, I'm going to recommend this study guide to them. It can make a world of difference.

Has a nice lay out, lots of practice questions, and I like how the answers to the practice questions have an explanation to why that answer is correct and/or the other answers are incorrect.

This book really helped pull everything together. Not too much information to clutter it up. The PHR exam itself was more scenario based and didn't seem to be too much factual specific based. This book touched on all the major sections needed in a summary format and included a 225 question exam. There were multiple test tips that were extremely helpful. The website at Mometrix really helps to break down the book.

The book reads extremely easy and puts in a ton of relevant information. I received the flash cards with the book and they are also super helpful. The combo of them both has me feeling confident for passing the test! The book was recommended to me and I would recommend it as well!

I purchased PHR Exam Secrets Study Guide and it is a score of 5 on any rating scale. I find it very helpful and informative. It's really preparing me for the exam and I thank you for this product. I don't know what I would do without it.
