Even if there isn’t, you can take courses online through registered providers or others. Check Udemy.

Hello,

I've been a PMI member since December 2017. I just recently registered for and linked this account to my PMI account. I took the PMP Exam back in December and did not pass. I also took a PMP Exam Prep course, prior to taking the exam. The course was taught from the 5th edition of the PMBOK. I'm reenergized and ready to prepare for my retake. I plan on retaking the exam in the next two weeks. I've seen some valuable input posted on the community thread to help me prepare. I have some additional questions. Should i continue using the 5th edition? Should I be using the 6th edition to prepare instead? If so, do I need the entire book to prepare or just copies of the new material? Is there anyone who has recently taken the exam and passed. Can you share your study strategy? I believe the reason I didn't pass the first time is because I spent to much time trying to memorize the PMBOK content and less time practice testing. Does this site offer downloadable practice tests? Any feedback members can provide to help me develop a more effective study strategy would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

You need more than two weeks and you should use 6th edition .. I suggest you buy a udemy course for 10 to 15 dollars .. join your local chapter if you can find a volunteer to mentor you.. memorizing will never help you to pass.. remember that, PMP test your knowledge and understanding of projects. In general if you do not have real experience in project management it might take more than one try to pass. .. you need to have 2/3 studying and 1/3 answering questions strategy . You can also use support book in addition to PMBOK like Rita .

Besides the online self paced study programs, there are providers that offer "any where" classes. For example, Learning Tree is a big training company near me. But you can sign up for many of their classes and take it from our home. They will send you the necessary software to be able to "sit in" the class from anywhere.

I agree with my colleagues here.
You can take online courses from simplilearn or udemy.
Good luck and all the best.
