PHR exam - Best Study Guides /SHRM????

Body:

<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By n/a on 06/20/2008 12:41 PM<br>I took the PHR Examination today for the first time and I PASSED!!!

What a relief.  I have a little of 5 years of HR experience mostly Recruitment and Administrative based.  I completed a HR Management Certificate program at a local college last June. Having completed the course work a year ago I really needed to brush up on my HR BOK along with my testing skills prior to taking the test.

I choose not to purchase the SHRM study guide - it was just too expensive for me.  With limited funds I decide to purchase the Anne Bogardus PHR/SPHR Certification Study Guide Second Edition it cost about $50.00.

I studied approximately 10 hours a week for roughtly 8 weeks. During the first 4 weeks most of my studying was done on the weekend-the last 4 weeks I studied for about 1.5 to 2 hours pretty much every day.

The Study Guide contained prep tests that I feel closely mirrored the type and style of questions I found on the actual test.

Two weeks before the test I took the HRCI on-line prep test $45.00. This was money well spent because  it gave me a good sense of what areas I needed to spend more time on.
