PMBOK 7th edition has an intense agile approach, but PMP exam may include concepts of the previous edition (PMBOK 6th edition) For your preparation, I recommend Rita Mulcahy's certification prep, it's a good option to acquire PM Knowledge at your own pace, and is updated to the latest exam.

If you are attending a comprehensive, quality prep course, then the PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition and Agile Practice Guide could be considered references and not "must reads".

While a course might prepare you well, I still highly recommend going through another resource such as the one for Rita Mulcahy recommended by Veronica.

Good Luck.

You will know the material you need when you start answering questions and doing mock exams. The material will help you understand the questions and answers.

I went through Velociteach's program: https://www.velociteach.com/classes/pmp-ex...on-plus-agile/.

It was a great online, book, and live class that was helpful. I also used Rita Mulcahy's free process chart game (https://rmcls.com/process-chart-game-v10/) and the PM Challenge on this site to help me test my process understanding specifically.

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
