you do need the PMBoK Guide (as a reference) AND at least one (better two) good prep books.
Rita's is a good one, of course, and it is by far the most popular one, BUT there are some other great prep books out there.
Rita's has an almost scientific approach.
If you more a visual learner for instance, than there are some other great books available (head First PMP for example).
Long story short: you need to find the prep book (in companion to the PMBoK Guide) which suits YOUR learning style best, right?
So, what is your learning style?

I prefer the book and online tests.
Also I have RITA 8th not 9th , worried about if I read I will miss the changes.
My plan is PMBOK first, then exam tests + review PMBOK and RITA.

I used Rita’s to prepare for the exam and I did 2 rounds. PMBoK was more a reference guide when further detail was needed. Saving Changes...
Both, What i did was Rita, PMBOK and Rita to recap. Saving Changes...

Both. They are complementary. Rita’s book is a quick read and a great resource for someone preparing for testing The PMBOK, however, is the most relevant source for attaining comprehensive project management knowledge, and it serves as a good desk reference for the practice. Saving Changes...

As some have mentioned I used my PMBOK guide as a reference. I didn't use Rita's book but I went over my online course materials a couple of times. Passed with flying colours. Saving Changes...

Definitely PMP Exam Prep from Rita. PMBok is little difficult to digest as it gives you only high level information, which can be used as a reference. Saving Changes...

Exam questions are situational questions. PMBOK and refered documention inside it are must read. Then, find sites where you can find tons of situational questions to practice for the exam. Nothing else is needed. Saving Changes...
