Dears,
I'm going to have my PMP exam next month. I have read PMbok and used some online sources . Kindly could you advise me on the main references/books that still I need to go through?

I have been advised to use Rita Mulchay. Based on experience, which should I used online or book and what is the last edition?

Regards,
Riad

Have you practiced full-length exam with a good exam simulator? If not, I highly recommend it.

PMBOK and Rita's latest edition should be good enough. Those two books will burn most of your study hours. I doubt you would even read a third book. Rather invest time in solving a lot of simulation exams.

I've passed the PMP exam a week ago.

Personally I've studied both
-Rita Mulcahy :PMP Exam Prep 9th ed.
-PMBok 6th ed

To be ready for the exam I suggest you to test your knowledge with on line simulators as the questions on the exam are situational for the most.
I suggest you PM Prepcast as their tests are very similar to the real test, scoring an average 75% on 1200 PM Prepcast questions, I've passed the exam with 4 above target and 1 on target for the knowledge areas.

Good luck for your exam.
Hi Diego,

Where can I find this Rita Mulcahy :PMP Exam Prep 9th ed.?

Thank you,

Hi @Riad,

I wrote an article about my study routine and the resources I used to prepare to PMP exam: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pmp-prep-le...-marlene-weyer/

Do not hesitate to message me, hope it will help and good luck!
HI Marlene,

Great article. That sounded great to me. Thank you for sharing that.

One question though: I only studied PMBOK and I took Joseph's Udemy course for 35h.
I saw you used Rita's book as well...but I also found two more options:

PMP Exam Prep Simplified: Based on PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition 6th Edition Edition
by Andrew Ramdayal
and
The PMP Exam: How to Pass on Your First Try, Sixth Edition
by Andy Crowe

Should I go for Rita's, shouldn't I?

Thank you,
Alvaro Couto

Review PMBOK several times. The mock exam is the next you really need.
