Dear Ricky
I think you can read (study) the PMBOCK Guide
How many questions have you answered in the question simulator?
I suggest you gain skills in two areas:
- Speed ??of response (series of 200 questions)
- Answer questions similar to those that come out in the exam (analyze the correct answers and the reasons)
You can also answer questions that are on here at ProjectManagement. with:
I wish you a great success in your study and pass the exam

Luis Branco, The link you provided above has the answer as "PERT" to the following question. But I thought the answer should be (d) since PERT is not more accurate than "Bottom up Estimates". Any comments/suggestions?
Cost estimates based on ___ are generally considered to be more accurate than analogous and bottom up estimates. a) PERT b) Swanson technique c) Reflective Analysis d) None of the above

The PM Prepcast exam simulator was a great tool for studying for the PMP (https://www.project-management-prepcast.co...xam-simulator). The paid version has full 200 question timed exams as well as a learning mode. Both methods were great to get a feel for why I was getting questions wrong as well as how to mange my time and energy in the full exam.
Thank you so much Luis for this reply. Coincidentally, I saw this post at the earlier hours of today (few hours to my paper). I'm happy to tell you I came out successful. The questions in this PMchallenge really gave me an insight into how PMI set questions. Cheers

You definitely want to read the PMBOK Guide. As well, you should read the PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
If I was going for my PMP again - I did mine back in 2003 - I would likely invest in a second exam simulator. The reason is that each simulator usually has a specific pool of questions. Working from one simulator can only get you as far as the questions they have. Having the second simulator can ensure that you can answer the questions because you understand, not simply remember, the answers. Saving Changes...

PERT tends to be more accurate because you are providing an optimistic value, a pessimistic value and a most likely value.

But I thought since bottom-up estimating is more granular approach, it has to be more accurate - actually the most accurate of all other approaches including Three Points Estimation.

Why would it be more granular? Whether you are doing bottom-up or PERT, you should be starting from the same WBS.
