I feel that the same study strategies apply for the 2021 exam as previous version; practice, practice. Several previous posts on exam sims list some good options and books that have all been updated.
Some popular sim's are;

The PMPrepcast new 2021 simulator is excellent. My exam is tomorrow and I am spending more time with the sim today. The sim includes some of the new question formats that might be expected, and it is clear from the questions that the more significant focus on Agile has been implemented. Fingers crossed.

I took the PMP exam on January 2nd and failed. Wishing you all the luck. I did a Bootcamp in December on the old version but wanted to take the exam. I will be signing up to retake it.

Sorry you didn't pass. Really tough being one of or maybe even the first person to take the new exam. I congratulate your efforts.
Do you have any insights on the exam? Did it seem 50/50 Predictive model vs. Agile?

Keep Pushing!! I took the 2020 boot camp in August, studied massive amounts of hours- unfortunately taking the test before the change did not happen for me. I will be scheduling very soon- however, still trying to find exact details to prep. Insite is appreciated

Sorry to hear that. I failed my PMP exam in early December and I was unable to reschedule it due to the high volume of people trying to take the exam before it changed. Do you think it changed drastically, or perhaps some of what you learned was still covered under the new exam?

I would say 50/50 Predictive model vs. Agile. Was not a lot of formula questions. It had matching questions..like matching the Tuckman's stages, quality management, risk management, can not remember what else. My goal is to retake it late next month or early March

Hi Urzula, Good luck for your next attempt. PMI is running a free conversion course from mid Jan: https://www.pmi.org/learning/training-deve...d-online-course - you'll need to sign up to be invited I think, and advertising a discount for the second attempt.

thank you for asking - I passed - it was good. 3 x sets of 60 questions with optional breaks in-between. I marked questions for review and ended with about 15 mins to spare. Still shaking! Don't be scared of the "new format".
