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

Body:

<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By n/a on 07/17/2008 11:56 AM<br>I am expected to take the SPHR in November 2008. Will the test dramacatially change from the one administered in June 2008? I have sat for the SPHR twice and have failed the exam by marignal points (2 points in 2005; 5 points in 2008). Can you give me any advice on publications, books, articles, etc. that I can refer to aid in my test preparation. I found SHRM information to be useful as far as understanding HRM; but not helpful to provide sample test, or expand on a advance level to prepare you for the SPHR.  I used Exam Prep by Dr. Larry Phillis, and HR Review Workbook. I am not sure if my brian was overloaded or if I need to come up with a better test taking strategy. Any addition insight you could give will be helpful. Just a note. I am a seasoned HR professional with 10 years of experience. I have done well on the Workforce Planning and Employment, Compensation and Benefits, and the Employee Relation and Labor Relation sections. Mainly because I manage these areas regulary. I continue to struggle with the Strategic Management and Human Resource Development section. Areas that I am not as versed in my current role.<BR><BR>I am determined to pass the SPHR and prefer not to sit for the PHR. Any advice you can provide would be helpful.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Angela</div><br><br>
