Review Planning and Scheduling Professional Certification Study Guide

If you are planning on taking the PSP Certification offered by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACEI), you might be looking for studying material. You might be considering purchasing the Planning and Scheduling Peorfessional Certification Study Guide 2008 by Peter W. Griesmyer just like I did. Don't waste your money. This study guide is too broad and general to be of any use. It does not provide any details or definitions that would be key to becoming a certified PSP. Plus, there are a lot of frustrating copy and paste errors, wrong answers answers, missing answers, and the one example they did provide - their the critical logic ties are incorrect.

So in effort to make use of this book I will be posting an unofficial Errata for Mr. Griesmyer's Planning and Scheduling Peorfessional Certification Study Guide 2008. Contributions are welcome. Please post them in the comments field.
