I passed my PMP couple of weeks ago and below are my pointers:

  • Read PMBOK & Rita at least twice, there are questions in exam which are out of PMBOK but well covered in Rita. Revision of PMBOK or Rita might get boring to help with this I used cram notes like this one – http://www.pmhub.net/files/PMHUB_Study_Notes_V6/PMHUB-SNV6_%20Prad_Raj%20Rani_2.doc ;
  • Understand when/how tools & techniques are used. Mechanics of tools & techniques are not of great importance;
  • Practice as many mock questions as possible. PMstudy.com mock test is closest to exam format;
  • Take two days leave (if you are working) before exam and prepare yourself; Get a goodnight sleep before the exam day.

IMHO you will need about 120 hours of preparation before you get comfy about attending the exam.

All the best and Godspeed on your journey to PMP

Peace
