Summary: Warning- study more than this book!
Comment: Did I pass the SPHR exam on the first try? Yes! Did I use this book as a study tool- also, Yes! Would I recommend using this book to study for the exam... yes. Sort of. This book was helpful in that it laid out a pretty good foundation to build a course of study. However, given the abbreviated length of time given to prepare coupled with the amount of material covered on the exam, my belief is that you will need more than this book to pass the test. Certain subjects (which were covered extensively on the exam), were only skimmed in this text. Use this as a RESOURCE only, but don't depend on it alone to pass.

Summary: Use of the PHR/SPHR Study Guide
Comment: I did not review this study guide because I am not in an HR position. I learned that you need to have worked in an HR position for 2 years in order to take the PHR test. I didn't realize that when I purchased the book. I may be able to post it on E-bay.

Summary: Highly recommend for PHR
Comment: A colleague of mine was taking a PHR class in New Jersey and her Instructor recommended this book. I could not afford the $1,000 for the class, so I bought the book and studied like mad three days before the exam. I used this as the main study guide with a 2001, yes, 2001 SHRM learning system. It is important to note that I also have more than 8 years of management experience in human resources, which I know helped me to pass the PHR last January.
This December I will embark upon the SPHR, but don't believe that I will use the same materials. I am researching other sources as I found the book lacking in terms of strategic planning for HRM.

Summary: Highly recommend this book
Comment: 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.
