Feeling really happy and relieved to Pass. Although i was not very active member of this forum but i used to visit it
everyday to view the""PMP exam discussions and PMP exam lessons learnt" which helped me a lot.
Preparation time - Around 5 months with 2 hrs study on weekdays and no study on weekends.
Only in the last one month took leave from office and did a focussed study of 5-6 hours daily.

Study book - Mainly PMBOK and Rita Mulachy
Exam details - Exam was a mixed bag having questons ranging from low difficulty to high.However
10 % of questions were of low difficulty, 60% medium and 30% high.
Lot of focus on initiating and closing.Also many questions were from pre-initiating phase.
There were lot of questions involving stakeholders,communications,change management,collect requirements process.
Some 3-4 questions on beta distribution.
6-7 questions on EVM in which very simple calculations were involved.
2 questions on network diagram.
Overall i would say a lot of focussed and dedicated study needed to prepare for the exam.
