Though the answer to this question may vary from person to person, it still would be interesting to hear how long it took you to study for the PMI-ACP exam? And, did you focus more on reading study guides, or doing lots of practice questions in preparation for the exam?

Interesting question, Marcus.

It took me around 10 weeks to study for ACP exam with around 2 hours on weekdays & double the time on weekends. The reading books took around 30-40% of the overall study time. But maximum times (60-70%) went in appearing for practice exams & verifying results & going back to study material to read the relevant material & taking notes.

Marcus -

As I had a fair bit of agile knowledge and hands-on experience before I wrote the exam, it took me a couple of days - I read Andy Crowe's book and did the practice questions in it and that was it.

Question, concerning the book PMI-ACP Exam Prep by Mike Griffiths. Amazon reviewers state there are many errors in it. before investing in that specific one, should I? or is there another reference book I should use as an alternate ?
thanks
