I like to know what is the best way to get prepared for the NEW PMP Exam 2021? It is overwhelming to study for the old original information plus the new content for the new exam.

I am not sure how to prepare. I do not want to give up until I pass!

So, please help whoever can. I would be more than happy to join a study group (online due to COVID) after work hours and study and practice as much needed to prepare for this exam.

Thanks!

There seems to be some confusion, even in Japan, about how to prepare for the new PMP exam.
I don't know if this will help you, but here are some simple guidelines for subscribers to my e-learning materials in Japan.

Dear Maher,

You can check the 35 contact hours course from one of the PMI registered education providers, since you need to have those hours anyway before applying for an exam. I know a lot of them updated their program already at the end of Dec to reflect the changes. Also there are a lot of groups on Facebook full of people who share their experience of preparation and passing the new exam as well as those who are willing to create a study group. PMBOK remains the same, which is a key in your prep work. You might want to consider some good simulator, which were also updated to reflect the new exam.

Good luck in your prep work and passing your exam!

Cheers,

Olga

Maher,
there are many study groups and exam preparation providers out there (which are now called ATP - authorised training provider).
You can also use PMI's own resources for preparation:

The key is to read and align your learning the new ECO.

Agree with Thomas, there are multiple ways to study, I took courses with Izenbridge, Barya, even private instructor, group studies, and self-studies with hard work.
