The PM StudyCoach Guidebooks package is literally a PMP study plan in a box! We’ve mapped out your journey to the PMP exam for you, every step of the way.
Each Guidebook takes you through a section of the PMBOK® Guide telling you exactly what topics to review, in what order.
Step onto the path of success
Your Guidebooks for PMP Success
Each PDF guidebook covers what you need to study to stay on track, week by week. Inside the PM StudyCoach Guidebooks, you’ll find:
Sample Guidebook
Here is a sample of what you are going to get. The PDF document below is the complete first guidebook in the series:
The Perfect Companion to The PM PrepCast
The PM StudyCoach Guidebooks have been written to perfectly complement our PMP exam prep course, The PM PrepCast.
Inside the Guidebooks you’ll find references to the relevant lessons and materials in The PM PrepCast. Follow the proven plan and you’ll streamline your studies!
The PM StudyCoach is best used alongside The PM PrepCast Elite, as the Guidebooks also step you through exam prep using The PM Exam Simulator.
However, if you have The PM PrepCast Basic (without access to The PM Exam Simulator), you will still get value from the Guidebooks. Just ignore all references to the Simulator and only use the Assessments provided by The PM PrepCast to help prepare for the exam.
In our experience, students who use a PMP Exam Simulator during their studies have more confidence and higher chances of success.
Your Guided, Self-Paced PMP Study Plan
The Guidebooks will help you use your study time efficiently.
There are 13 PDF Guidebooks in the pack. The second book combines two topics in one, and the last one is intended to be used in the one or two weeks leading up to your actual exam.
- Take the guesswork out of your study: you’ll always know what topics to review next
- Make studying a routine
- Save time preparing your own study plan from scratch: use our proven roadmap instead!

In addition to this, many students find they can combine guidebooks into a single week and get through the material faster.
