SHRM-CP Exam Secrets Study Guide by Mometrix was the easiest for me break down and digest. A lot of people love to talk up the All In One Exam Guide by Dory Willer. However I found it to be very long winded, frustrating to understand or grab important points from, & difficult to comprehend what was for the CP exam vs the SCP exam. In the end I couldn’t get through a quarter of the 900 pages before the hole it was putting in my head caused me to seek other prep materials.
