Saswata,

I have 3 recommendations for you:

First: Look for the "Articles" section at the top of this website. Hold your mouse over it, and the at the top 10-12 articles here cover much of what you are looking for.

Second: Start with the first article in this series titled "PMP Study Guide". It's here: www.project-management-prepcast.com/pmp-study-plan

Third: Watch my "10 steps to becoming a PMP" video on YouTube. It's here:

This will get you started in the right direction.

Saswata:

Cornelius' advice is spot on. OSI/PrepCast doesn't simply point you in the right direction, but it also illuminates the way to a successful exam.

Expect a 6 month process of dedicated learning and challenging yourself with the exam simulator. There's no quick fix to study.

Good luck!
