Glad to report that I passed the PMP today. Below is a quick summary of my preparation approach:
What I did:
(1) Read the Rita Mulachy Prep book - 4th Edition
(2) PM Prepcast + PMBOK + PMP Exam Prep Manual (PDF): Chapter by Chapter. At the same time. Chapter by chapter.
(3) PM Prepcast Exam Simulator: First 3 Tests (76%; 80%; 73%)
(4)PSA PMP 5P Blackberry App practice drills (every other day)
(5) PMZilla hard questions
(6) Rita Mulachy simulation (66%)
Did not study the day before the exam. Actually caught a movie. Went to bed early.
Did not do:
(1) Brain dump. Instead I glanced through the Process and Knowledge areas as well as the PM Prepcast formula guide before the exam.
Final score: 4Ms and 1P
Not a super score but good enough to see "PASSED".
The PM Prepcast was as the core of my preparation without a doubt.
All the best to all those still preparing.
Henry
