As the PMP exam is not based solely on the PMBOK Guide (that is one of multiple references), there is no clean mapping between the two. However, the tasks in the Process domain can be mapped to the equivalent processes in the PMBOK Guide knowledge areas.

I totally agree with Kiron. One good resource is Rita Mulcahy exam prep book that will help you with your studies.

I agree with Kiron. Exam Content Outline is based on various sources. You should read PMBOK 6th and 7th Edition, and I recommend Rita Mulcahy Certification prep.

You will want to refer to the PMP Exam Preparation's reference list.
