RE: PHR exam - Best Study Guides /SHRM???? |
| Message: |
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.
