Would you pay for a visual guide on passing the Agile Exam (PMI-ACP)?

I'm throwing around the idea of creating a small and simple eBook with mnemonic, rhyming, and visual devices to memorize some of the info for passing the PMI-ACP. Do you think a resource like this is needed in the marketplace? Why?

How much would you pay for a short 25 to 50 page eBook with these devices and tools?

@ Vincent I believe that PMI-PBA is also changing

Kiron, thanks so much for your thoughts. Some very good points. I've had similar thoughts about the ACP maybe not being the best fit because it is less about memorization.

Do you think something like this would be viable for the PMP (which is more about memorization)?

Top-of-mind for me lately as a right-brained individual has been different, more visual ways, to learn project management principles other than the text-based methods in most really long exam prep books.

Thanks again friend!
I hear you Ryan. My brain works the same way. But there are outside providers that have videos and animations teaching this and other disciplines.

It has to do with readers. I personally do not need or even like such a tool, however, I do know some people who are really fan of things like that. Give it a shout. Who knows what would happen.

I specialize in understanding how my learners think and what gets them to retain information to be successful. Not necessarily the people with PhD's (Sergio). Some people become confused and with all the other responsibilities of life and work -- studying ends up taking a back seat each and every time and is not managed well. I suggest using study mindmap cards like this product -- used for PMP.
Not hard to make one for any exam. Time consuming but not impossible.

Elaine, thanks for your comment. Things like this are along the lines of what I'm thinking. Some people are fine reading a manual word for word but others (such as myself) learn things better when the are presented visually or in more of a right-brained approach. While there are diagrams etc... out there like this for the PMP discipline I have noticed a lot of teaching techniques and books are geared towards more of a left-brained approach. I'm interested in helping to fill the gap for people who learn better visually or simply don't have the time to read through a 300 page guide. Again, thanks for your perspective.
