Hi Amer saeed Sheikh,
Congratulations on passing the PMP Exam. I took the exam on 12th January and also passed it.
I used Andy Crowe's Book - Pass the PMP Exam at 1st Attempt and first took written notes & read it thoroughly over 3 times. My preparation time was between 5th December 2016 and fully utilised the christmas break. The new regulation of not doing the brain dump in the tutorial time was so that candidates finish the tutorial that may contain important information for the exam.
Regards.
