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

Check https://www.oliverlehmann.com/ website, they have good set of questions that would help prepare for real PMP exam. After you have been through PMBoK and Rita Mulcahy try Oliver Lehmann questions.

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

Congratulations Al Alvaro.
Appreciate it if you share some lessons learnt.

In addition to the PMBok and Rita books, I found the three books by Aileen Ellis to be very helpful. they're cheap and easy to read.

I've studied the PMBOK, Rita's and Aileen's too (especially for earned value) and think those three are definitely the way to go! After reading those I just started taking the mock exams and will now study in greater detail the areas I'm less knowledgeable. Good Luck!
