I need to take the PMP certification as required by the company.

I have work experience, but I have not started to learn theoretical knowledge. Is there anyone like me? Need a study partner or study group. Saving Changes...

I'd recommend to first make sure that you are eligible to take the test. You may find all this information on PMI's website. For example, a course of 35 hours in project management is mandatory. Take a good look at the eligibility requirements and plan next steps accordingly. Saving Changes...

Work experience is certainly important, but make sure to review the requirements (as Eduard notes above) and then put together a plan to get yourself there. This is more of a marathon than a sprint. If being mandated by your employer, there are likely others in the same boat who might be willing to form an internal study group. Plenty of posts on this topic here on the site....a quick search will yield tons of great advice on materials, study approaches, etc.
If you don't believe you can complete the exam by mid-June at the very latest, you will need to prepare to take the new one. As there are NO self-study materials available for that, real exam preparation could only start after the new exam launches and training providers start to make study materials available.
What is your deadline for attaining the certification?
