I just took the PMP exam yesterday and passed.
I took a 35 hr Boot Camp/PMP Prep class but I didn't think it was helpful it just got me the hours I needed to meet that education requirement.
I studied the PMBOK and the Agile Practice Guide as well as watched YouTube Videos recorded by Aileen Ellis and PMPwithRay. I looked for all types of free PMP practice exams.
Most of my questions were situational like what do you do next; what could you have done to prevent this; what will you do to prevent this in the future; how will you address resource availability.
The questions I had were very wordy as well as the answers so get used to reading quicker than average to be able to read and process the question and answers.
If you can can free 4 hour practice exams, they will help you get used to sitting and reading for 4 hours.
Some additional books recommended in my class were:
1. Project Management (12 Ed.) by Harold Kerzner
2. Effective Project Management by Robert K. Wysocki
3. The Project Management Tool Kit: 100 Tips and Techniques for Getting the Job Done Right, Edition 3 by Tom Kendrick (e-book)
4. Project Manager's Portable Handbook (3rd) by David Cleland and Lewis Ireland
