Check out these resources for PHR prep:
- David Siler’s accelerated course
- Victoria Puser’s Bootcamp
- SPHR/PHR pocket prep app

Victoria’s one was really good!

Best of luck!

The SPHR/PHR pocket prep app was super helpful when I was studying for my PHR. I found that the questions on the app was harder than the ones on the actual exam. GOOD LUCK!! :)

This is the book I used. My only recommendation is to take as many practice exams as you possibly can! If it’s pure memorization, I used a flash card app and quizzed myself via the app to occupy my time instead of going on social media

Are the answers the same as the PHR test?
